Well Skyguy, I feel bad for you that this has all got personal for you. You had reasons for upset but you fail to see how that as your frustration with your problems grew, your postings became more smear campaign like. I would not wish the troubles you experienced on anyone, but I will tell you many have experienced far worse with many other brands.
This site is for Buell lovers and we get a bit sensitive when people start showing hate for our bikes. I think it is too bad that you feel you need a personal confrontation to deal with the frustration you feel for some of these posters. If the situation gets too personal to tolerate, then I guess it is best for all you move on. With regards to Motormanmikes post, you should be able to see that sometimes it is for humor to make light of someone else's misfortune. He was not making a personal attack as I see it. I know you took it personally, but you didn't need to.
Good luck.
P.S. if you have a lemon, show it some love and you can have lemonade. |

Way to go New12r,
I just dropped my xb9sx of at my dealer after serious misbehaving my bike.
Blasting trough urban, Belgian super dense traffic I managed to destroy my 2 front wheel bearings (red ones), the exhaust manifold clamp and ended the lifespan of the clutch plates. Did also order a new front tire and a replacement speedsensor.
Oh, that's not after 34K but just 7,5K. on a 9 month period. Can't wait to rev that engine again when I collect it next friday.

There's no reason to be sorry Freezer, I'm long past the age where I give a shit about such things.
If someone was serious about knuckling up they'd just PM ME - instead of making a big dramatic post. It doesn't hurt that there's a continent of separation either.
I don't care much for little smart mouthed asses with big keyboard muscles....... They never learn respect until someone beats them down. The simple logic of respect is just beyond some. Say what you said to me online to my face.................................
hmmm, I don't recall saying anything to you.
Tis the season to be jolly...
Most of you gents are good people and I have for the mostpart enjoyed badweb and all of it's dysfunction.
Hallelujah |

I can't take it anymore...I know i have put enough miles on my bike that I need to adjust the valves and lube the chain, but I can't find it in my owners manual or service manual...I'm going back to the cookie-cutter bikes that need you to keep doing that extra stuff, this Buell just frustrates me so much.
well... it's time for me to go drink some BEER (what 99.9% of all Buellers drink) and fill up my "cold water toilet". |

Do what I do... spray it down with S100 before you head out for a ride in the rain. Closest you'll get to a bike washing itself... |

So I'm cruising down the road, perfect weather not a care in the world and it happens! Aww crap, total loss of fire to the engine and I coast to a stop. I think to myself, well your luck finally caught up to you didn't it. All those years of complaint free miles, awesome rides, great friendships made, war stories told and not a problem one with my Buell in all that time. Could it be my turn to post on Badweb my discomfort for Buell and all its problems...huhh...oooppps...looks like my big Germanthumb accidently hit the kill switch...nevermind!!! (true story) |

A few weeks ago my bike dies. It freaked me out because I had just had it for about 5 months. I move over to the side of the road to find out I had done the exact same thing as you buellfighter. What a freaking relief! I was about ready to kick it to the curb. |
