Tell me how much of a jack wagon I am for asking this. Last year I rode my 1125R the 250 miles to Indy. I met a few Badwebbers and had a good time. It wasn't even an uncomfortable ride. But, should I chicken out and ride my VFR this year, or will that earn me derision and ridicule? Lol! |

Screw them all, and ride what you WANT to ride. Don't let ANYONE dictate what you should or shouldn't ride anywhere! I have a number of Buells, but have ridden my Yamaha Tenere, Honda ST1300, and even my Hardley to Buell rides. Fu#k anyone that wants to TRY to tell me what to ride, or where to ride it... |

This. Ride a GoPed if you want. Do whatever is best for you, not anyone else (unless you have a passenger). If the VFR will suit the job better, go for it. |

I rode my 1125R to Indy today. Rained the whole time. Still a fun time. By the way, don't post the question if you do not opinions. |

Rode the 1125R. It was a long boring ride, but my ass is not much worse for wear. The only real downside is that I have to wear earplugs on the 1125 whereas I don't on the VFR. |

I have two bikes now. Both Buells. After 2 cross-countrys on Loretta(1125R) and one on the Uly, my choice for future rides is easy. Uly wins hands-down. Trying to figure out a trailer to tow the 1125R behind the Uly. Ride what makes you... YOU... smile the most. Z |

Last year I saw at least a half dozen 1125s and a handful of other Buells. This year, I've only seen one other 1125 (an '08), a Blast, and, one other one--didn't get a good look but I think it was an XB. |

I was really surprised to see so few Buells at MotoGP this year. I wonder where everyone was. The few Badwebbers who were there last year (the guys I chatted with at the drag dyno, for example)--did you guys not show up this year? |

I didn't see any 1125Rs, I didn't have mine at the strip Friday or Saturday ( too much alcohol to consume to ride). Just at the Track both days. Saw a few XBs at the track and that's it. Wish EBR had a booth there. |

On Saturday at Indy I parked my Uly near lot 8 in someone's front yard (for $5!) next to my friend's VFR. My VFR was at home. |
