OK, you got it small enough to fit. Now try and get it big enough to see!

Just kidding, I'm sure you'll be too busy riding (or if the weather's sucking sitting on it going VROOM-VROOM!!!!) to have time to fool with graphic compression programs.

You are a lucky SOB.

Rocket, you could piss off the Pope. Of course, that would make you very happy.

More pics. Its daytime but cloudy and it was starting to snow. If you see some tiny white lines like scratches its dog hair. I have a white german shepherd and i was covered in hair from brushing him.





Also better pics of the touring pillion.
And the pipes were bronze when i got it. Silver Bronze who cares. Its badass.

Hey Richard - Also just noticed you still have the stock rider's seat. The tour seat is a MONSTER improvement over that "frying pan".

Dealership just called, confirmed shipping, no ETA yet tho. Prolly not today, hopefully tomorrow then, when the damn snow starts for 5 days. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

We in the UK were told they'd be here in July 07. I even had a test ride booked. I wasn't aware the UK had been dropped in favour of a later in the year US launch.

I suppose somewhere . . . something in here matters to someone in the world, perhaps influences their buying decision. I'm sure there are people whose threshold of personal indignation dips to the level of ascribing insult when a manufacturer rolls a bike out the door 30 days beyond the initially announced target date.

Pretty rich put down coming from you Sir Court, the most vocal of all on BadWeB for pointing out when OTHER manufacturers are late with their launch dates. When Buell do likewise they're regarded as 30 days early by model year. Go figure.

Rocket,

Whoever told you that was flat out wrong and likely only loosely associated with Buell if at all.

As far as I know, production was NEVER scheduled for any time sooner than fall 2007, and I've never heard anybody from Buell say anything for delivery (in the US) other than "late 2007".

Rocket - sounds like you need a bottle of Uncle Leo's Panty De-twister. Maybe two.

In light of that statement, you should have had your brain in gear before you let the clutch out on your mouth. I read your debate about Lee Parks book a while back on another thread somewhere's and I thought," Hey, here is an intelligent debater. "
Whats happened Rocket??? There is no intellegence from you in this thread. You have to crap on someones parade with your pissant minute details to inflate your ego. Perhaps, in some mundane thread, your point about the lateness of the release deserves merit. But not here. Grow up!!

Is it just me or does it look like the blue is more vivid in the Darkice photos?

I was hoping that the blue would stand out more. (I was always a fan of Buells nuclear blue)

It just seemed to me that the press release photos showed the blue being more bland.

No complaints here just getting more excited!!

It would be cool to get a can of the frame paint and spray the the windshield to match.

I was thinking along the lines of a blue tinted windshield as well, but I think it'd end up spoiling the front when you look at it straight on. Dunno. Photoshop time...
