I went with the Tribu to Sardgnena this past Spring, some of those guys can ride! I have been very busy at work this past year so time off was difficult. I hope to be able to ride with them more next year. I am enjoying Italy and living VERY near the mountains is GREAT! (I live near Sacile, Pordenone)
I don't spend a lot of time on the Tribu message boards but check in every couple of weeks.
Again, great looking bike and congrats on winning! |

I am not a big fan of customs, but you got me looking at the Ghost Rider. Well done. |

Being from a racing background, my taste is completely opposite of yours. While I would never build the machine you did, there's no mistaking the time, love and money you put into it. One thing you and I most certainly can agree about is that it feels good to win!
Your wife is very pretty. Be sure to tell her that you love her more than you love your bike. If she's like my wife she won't believe you but at least you tried.... |

The bikes are both really cool, but the XB is spectacular! I am a race type guy first, but can really dig style when it's still has performance (unlike that spikey chopped weird piece). Nice work. |

K3xb,
my wife will never believe me because she knows my bikes come FIRST!!! LOL
at the beginning she was fine and supporting me in every step, now we argue a lot just because of them!
beside this 2, i also have a Ducati 1098 S that i ride when i'm thirsty of speed, on the track at least once a month!
but now she knows she has to share our life with my machines and when the economy will be better (hopefully!), i wanna add an X1 to my collection, but there will be the war!!!! LOL
yes, on that bikes there's a loooooooooooooooot of love and passion, money and so much time on the computer and at the phone researching! every time i ordered overseas, i had to wait weeks or months to get the parts, and the anxiety????????
just to mention, the last step on the Ghost Ride, took the mechanics 11 months! people •••••• up so many times their job when they were suppose to be professionals!
and since this was made to be a bike for getting points on the stage, everything had to be flawless!
the S1 as well, the clear coat we don't know for what weird reason, got a strange reaction and didn't wanna dry!
we finish to put the bike together the night before the show at 9, when it was suppose to be ready 10 days earlier! |

Edoardo, where did you get the flyscreen?
That's a must have, even for my old dirty XB! |

Glitch,
i got that Flyscreen on ebay, is made by this German guy, very nice and Buell fan!
his name is Stefan and his email address is info@fibreglass-factory.de, he speaks good english and will take care of your order. the flyscreen is not even expensive...
it comes in unpainted fiberglass, so you can give it the color you want.
hope i could help...
Dana,
so you finally decide to put the 240 tire? it'll be a great add to you Last Laugh...
looking forward to see you bike finished too. |

I would stretch the polished swingarm and/or shorten the tail.
Yeah if all he wants to do is go straight. Stretching swingarms is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Sure it "blings" up the bike, but you can't hit the twistys with a swingarm like that. Makes me sick... |
