I wanted to make this post the first. But the fate decided for me and my first post here was another one. Here two guys helped me. First gave me the good internet shop which works this international buyers and the second one sent me the drive belt. So here I want to say them THANKS A LOT. Next... I have rode on the Buell XB9SX for 2 months and want to say that my bike looks and sounds better then Japanese bikes of my friends. Before buying the Buell I rode on the chopper for 3 years as most part of my friends. But after some time I had started to look for unusual something. and I found the Buell...  Before buying it I went to test-drive to tasted it. It was on February as I remember. I liked it. I was starting to find where I can buy it. Because the new bike from dealer was so expansive for me. I bought Buell XB9sx which had been built for Japan. Now I am a Bueller. here are pics on me and my bike.    ps. The pics of me were took by my good mate who is a professional photographer. If you want to look at all set you can do it here. | ||

I understand that it can sound funny but I rode in the closed industrial premises. It was the track for karting. | ||

That last pic is sweet. Need frame pucks on that bike. | ||
| Slaughter |
I think on Vasily's last post, he got confused about the frame "pucks" - and he now KNOWS what we are talking about. (Cool pics there Vasily!!!) | ||

Vasiliy, those are some awesome pics on that website. I have to ask is that a fox tail on your friends jacket? Those pictures look like it was a lot of fun taking them. Seeing them brings up so many questions about the motorcycle culture there. I would love to hear about a day in the life of a motorcyclist in Russia. Ben  | ||

i really like that color. Is that a OEM color for the JDM market? | ||
| Mnbueller |
Vasiliy, nice bike! I love the color! Here is mine! color in the photo is a bit off, is actually about the same color your bike is.  (Message edited by Mnbueller on September 14, 2009) | ||

Mluds0379 and Slaughter: Yeah I know. XBen9r: I do not know exactly whose this tail. If you want I can ask her when we meet next time. The process of taking pics was really funny because me and me friends are not stars nor modes and we didn't know how to behave in front of the camera. About Russian motorcycle culture... You can prepare a list of questions and give it me. I will try to answer on all of them. | ||
| Vasiliy_ru |
Bromanowski: I can not answer on your question. Because I do not know. Mnbueller: Your bike look nice too. Can you tell me? Was the tube under the seat painted by your? | ||

http://www.industrialbicycles.com/mirror%20mircycl e%20bar%20end.htm Get you some frame pucks if you can well worth what they cost and check this site out for cheap mirrors that look great and you will be able to see more than your shoulders | ||
| Vasiliy_ru |
Brumbear: I have no plans to use that kind of mirrors. The main reason of it is that I frequently ride in the traffic jams between cars. Additional inches of the handlebar width makes riding more difficult. | ||

greetings from the USofA these guys here talk like you can easily purchase & receive any new part you might desire - what is your situation in Russia, regarding internet or mail or telephone parts purchases? if you want a 100-Euro part from US or UK or Germany, how much more money & time to actually receive it at your front door? | ||
| Brumbear |
I gotcha alot of guys prefer I believe Tuono mirrors I guess they are stock aprillia mirrors but visability is supposed to be much better than the stock mirrors if you are interested as for the link mircycle barenders I use them and I live in a high traffic area but I just flip em in I like em cause they are like 15$ apiece and hold up believe it or not | ||
| Brumbear |
the euro market is as good if not better than ours. | ||
| Vasiliy_ru |
Firstbuell: The situation that you have described is not well as I would want. For example Bart who is a man from here sent me the drive belt on 11 August and I got it only 4 September. He has done it by using the USPS service. I have never used internet or mail or telephone for parts purchases before. Now I get a paypal account and I am going to buy something (not so expensive) just for knowing how it will work. The shipping to Russia costs from 15$. It depends on the class service and height-width-depth of part I think. Before talking about 100Euro part I just want to remark that the 100Euro are more than 100$ in my country (1$ = 30Rub 1Euro=45Rub). So if I can find the same part for 100$ I try to buy it for 100$ ( of course I will take into account the cost of the shipping) Brumbear: Let's stop talking about your mirrors. pls. I trust you that they are better then stock mirrors. Thanks for your offer. | ||

Vasiliy - Yeah painted all of the parts myself. Daytona Sunset Orange, base coat with a clear coat on top. Turnned out great! | ||

Vasily-we kind of got thrown into having to learn. 2 years ago a family moved here with the 2 boys. The older one was our goalie. Family didn't have much money, so when we traveled he ended up going with my son and I. I brought a translation dictionary along and we got through the weekend-we figured out Dima liked chicken very quickly, and really liked vanilla ice cream. And the boys, they figured it out just fine, too! |
