Author Message   Birdy Posted on Monday, October 15, 2007 - 04:57 pm:        After the false start Saturday they fixed it (shorted wire, of course seems to be a Buell thing) and then delivered it for me, and of course picked up their Road King. Saved me a 120 mile round trip. I just got back from a short ride and WOW is all I can say. This thing gives new meaning to "Turn & Burn". Just think turn and it’s done and pulls like there’s no tomorrow. Still have to do a good suspension set up but I start tonight on that as the weatherman’s calling for rain the tomorrow. OH the mirrors give a great view…of my shoulders but that’s all. And the fan is just as bad as you all said it was...guy next door knocked on the door to tell me I left it running! Hope this it the beginning of a long fun time!

Check out the American Sportbike website. They have some Aprilla mirrors on there that might help. I ordered mine and am awaiting shipment.   Carbide Posted on Monday, October 15, 2007 - 07:25 pm:        Congrats!   Glitch Posted on Monday, October 15, 2007 - 07:53 pm:        Ain't nuthin like that new bike smell! Congrats, and may all your miles be with the shiny side up!   Diablobrian Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - 12:11 am:        Actually it's more like "nothin' like that new bike GRIN!" Glitch Welcome to the madness Birdy!   Dwunundabkr Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - 01:34 am:        welcome to the fun times on a buell i am still grinning every time even more now summer is on its way yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaa   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - 07:36 am:        I need a "winter home" in Sydney. Winters here in Colorado are getting hard to ride in...33˚F outside right now. Enjoy your summer dwunundabkr. Z   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - 08:41 am:        33˚F outside right now. You're kidding! It's 66˚ here now, we probably won't see 33˚ for another month or two. I love the South!   Birdy Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - 04:29 pm:        Drat, it's heading hard to winter here. So I got the bike just in time to sit in the garage all winter waiting for spring. BUT I guess it's better than having my nose froze to the dealer window come Feb! I've already started to make it "My Bike" just ditched the rear number plate and am ordering a set of sliders this weekend. I still thing it funny how much it can shake when it it warming up AND not have parts falling off!

With a heated vest and gloves you can extend your riding season quite a ways on both ends. Snowmobile suits too! Just something to think about.
