"You need to hit the twisties more..." I stopped by Old Glory HD to get the reflash done, and their Buell tech came out and talked to me afterwards, but the first thing he told me was that I need to hit the twisties more. This, judging by how worn the middle portion of my rear tire is. I assured him that I do every chance I get, but I only ride on the weekends, and I'm new to the area as far as biking goes, so I don't know what I have available. Also, I bought the bike in South Dakota in June and make the 1500 mile trek here to D.C. I told him that that's where most of that flat spot came from. Half of my miles are from the interstate. So yeah, I just wanted to share my be-littling experience, haha. |

Sounds like a mechanic you might want to keep. Be happy he was not telling you to add chrome or tassels!! |

I was at Old Glory yesterday for the Hogs and Heroes Poker run. Only Buell in the crowd. Didn't win the poker run or the 50/50 raffle but a great ride. Harley crowd actually found a couple twisties to ride on. Where ya livin' now Eagle1? I'm in Herndon, VA. Which reflash did you get? |

I'm living in D.C. on the George Washington campus. I got the latest reflash (released on Sept. 16) Yeah, I saw flyers for the Poker Run when I was in there but didn't feel like going I guess. Do you know of any nice roads down in your neck of the woods? I'm actually keeping my bike in Falls Church right now, so it's not too far from you. |

There are a number of roads around Leesburg, Frederick and really a bunch all over as long as you're not on an interstate. There's also skyline drive at Front Royal. Skyline is nothing but twisties. I haven't been able to go there yet but heard it was awesome. |
