Howdy all. Figured I'd join up. Just purchased a clean, black '06 Uly with bags, extra screen and 2 extra seats. Its good to be back. Sold a '99 ATK 605 last year (awesome bike with an unfortunately fragile electrical system it seems) that was just too limited of a machine for me. Anyway, this bike really reminds of the '92 R100GS I sold in '97. But, I think this one is better. The beemer seemed to have a lower CG but this bike is lighter and WAYYYYY sharper handling. Sounds better too! Oh.......I just got the badweatherbikers moniker. Badweather=Thunderstorm. Roger that. } |

Also back when Badweb was formed, the current Buell lineup consisted of a Cyclone, Lightning, and Thunderbolt models. Coincidence? I think not. Welcome to the curse, and check out the New Uly owner page http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/442053.html?1238017122 |

You know, I never really thought much about the name but it does make sense. Congats on the bike. |

Thanks. I was actually looking at a REAL clean '07 Triumph Speed Triple too but deep down, I new it wasn't the right kinda bike for me. Anyone who wants a Roulette Green S3, let me know. I can hook you with the guy. |

Ooohhh.... now I get it! Thunderstorm = Badweather... I thought it was because my Lightning was a rain magnet. Been rained on three times in two weeks. D@*m spring weather! Anyway, you're in Fla, so you should be used to that Notrailer hahaha But really, welcome to the madness! |

Triumph also makes a S3? I was confused, as I said to myself "Oh cool, I didn't know the S3 or any other Buell was available in green." |
