Roll Call. Who's going? Of course I'm going. You can find me by looking for the white XB9 slash 1208cc SSRP w/Micron. XB9 on the back. #74 on the front if I get enough ambition to put the full fairing on. Grey hair and rashed black & blue leathers. Walks with a limp. Look me up. |

Just finishing prepping the bike. I'm coming up from Lexington. I'm on a blue with white stripe ex Pro Thunder Buell. My brother will be joining me on a silver Mille. This is a great track. Should be a lot of fun. |

I'll be heading up solo from Cincinnati early Thursday morning. I'll be in my brown Ford F150 with my black XB12SS with graphite stripe. Got a buddy who went with me to the Inside Pass at Road America who is bailing on me, so if anybody knows someone who wants to buy his spot, it is available. |

I'll be the fat white guy on the Buell. Oh wait, that doesn't narrow it down much, huh? Look for the guy doing the fireman impersonation... all yellow and black. Friend of mine from work offered to haul me up in the trailer the night before, we are crashing at a local hotel so we don't have to arrive tired. |

Just got back from the dealer class. It was like going to a church revival for Buell. I'm gonna jump some pews and land on a 1125R in the morning!! |

The guy I am going with has friends going from a Honda Blackbird list he hangs out on. One of them can't make it, he has a slot reserved for intermediate, and will sell it for $100. Ping me if anyone is interested, and I can figure out how to connect you all up. |

Well I just rode 200 miles round trip to put a Spidey sticker on Psyclones bike and give him a few sticker sheets to do with as he sees fit. So if you want a Spidey sticker see Jon! Make sure to stick em on as many 1125's as you can! |

I rode it on 10/3 it is very, very nice, the power is perfect for this bike and the chassis in my opinion is 100% better than previous buells I've ridden. SG |

Well.....what a day! Compared to VIR the 1125r mules are even more refined - The new maps really made the bikes noticably better today. The Diablo Corsa 3's where way better suited to the MId-Ohio surface and I was able to really push the bike more here - and the more I ride it the better it seems to get. The power is sick, just sick. I'm just speechless after flogging these things today. Everything about this motorcycles seemed flawless today. The elves are doing thier magic on this baby. Great Day! |

Mid-Ohio was my first track day: three sessions on my XB12R, then a demo of the 1125R. (I think I'm ruined for my old riding. I've been searching online ads for a Buell track bike candidate ever since.) The 1125R was a revelation: smoother, WAY faster, much quieter behind the fairing and with less buffeting, even though I had a Memphis Shades Cockpit screen installed on my 12R. The tranny was effortless, and the riding position very comfortable for my version of aggressive sport riding (I'm such a newbie, I don't even have velcro for pucks on my pants, and my knees never got closer than a foot from the pavement.) If I could swing it right now, I'd already have put in a deposit. |

not trying to change the subject but Davefla, I saw your bike and I have been looking for a new screen for my r. what model was that on your bike, as I really liked it, both in looks and how it appeared to work... |

I'm in the same boat btw, as I'm now considering turning the 9 into a track bike. The power of the 1125r both on the gas and the brakes was way cool, but I doubt I'll be buying one. Especially if I want to be at Mid-O once a month-that was some serious fun. |
