I really dig the lines of the tank with out the cover... Hmm... If I can find a black tail section and front fender maybe I'll try riding "un-covered." Maybe I'm just losing my mind... LOL!

Bubs: the "weep" may or may not be something to worry about. If its just a dirty oil ring around the shifter splines then I wouldnt worry about it. Its more trouble than its worth to replace the seal (get a few extra seals if you decide to replace it).
If its running down the cover, then it should be replaced. The Blast usually has a rubber ring around the splines between the shifter and case. If this ring is missing (?), you'll see the oil weep easier.

There is just a film of oil around that area every time I go for a ride of more than 10 miles...

Looks like my bike came without the rear fairing. Should I get a new one put on? Does it really do anything of value?

After one review. I'm not sure a 5 star quality and reliability is going to be easy to maintain.

I like my Blast, but I liked The Santa Clause II as well...

It seems more than that or the order that the other bikes are in would make no sense - unless the rating is rating plus review points?

Well, today is the day, the Big Kid is getting married to his childhood sweetheart. He is jittery as a deer on the second day of deer season, far as I am concerned, he is the luckiest guy I know, when I get pictures posted, you will see what I mean.

The worst part of the whole ordeal was getting the Jeep cleaned to take a bunch of us over to where the wedding is.

Next week will be different....

Thanks for the well wishes!

I dropped Old Yeller off to the Big Kid tonight so he has something to drive till he inherits another car. We were at her parents tonight opening wedding presents. For some reason they gave me a key to their house, I don't know why?

The first of the rainy season is upon us here in the Siberian Midwest. Its getting colder, we are running out of daylight sooner, the temperature is getting colder and the leaves are changing and beginning to litter the roads.

The end is near...

Ride until the snow falls. Just watch out for those leaves. They get slick when they're wet. Don't ask.....

Not familiar with these boards yet. So forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong spot. Are there any sportbike type handlebars that are a direct fit to a Buell Blast without modifications that will not interfere with the locking mechanism or cause the bike any undesirable steering characteristics?
