After two years without a Buell, I'm back and ready to rip up the twisty central PA mountain roads.

Looks great! Maybe now there will be a Res Ride next year? Saintly had a bike very similar to that, not many red 03 XB9Rs out there. |

Where is Saintly from? It may have been his before. I don't know what more Res Rides. Toona has no interest in another motorcycle and I haven't talked to nittanyxt since the last res ride. I guess I could host one :-) I'll have to do some research over the winter. It seems like ever since Buell closed it doors everyone kind of lost interest. |

Saintly was from my neck of the woods, he sold chain conversion kits on here years ago. He had battle blue 03 9R, and a red 07 9R. He ended up swapping the plastics between both before he sold them. If I remember right he sold the 07 to someone in Maryland, I don't recall where the 03 went. Likely not the same bike though. I hear you on the dead groups, same thing basically happened here too. |

Mine will be battle blue next spring (picking up pieces over winter). It's sad how things died off. One cool thing about owning a Buell is all the other owners; just good people. Hopefully this site will attract new EBR owners too and not just prior Buell to EBR owners. |

Xb9er, l made a few of the Res Rides and we tore a few twisties together. Always enjoyed. Great to hear you are back in the saddle again. Too bad about Dan. Maybe he will find his way back into the light. I still have my Lightning and count me in if you ever deside to have a ride. Also give a shout out if you are ever comming to my area. I live in SW Pa just north of Morgantown WV. Would be nice to ride with a Buell brother. Jon |

Jon, does the WV buell rally is go on? Dan found a new passion, BMW's. He likes the idea of a safety cage while ripping up the back roads. I'll try to organize a Res Ride next March or June. We no longer have a Clem's BBQ, but Tom and Joes is still kicking. |

Build it and they will come... The WV Buell Rally is still going. Made it there last month. Its always a good time. Missed last four as it falls on same weekend we were moving my daughter into school. Graduated and now off to grad school. Different school, diff weekend. I remember Clems closed but its not all about eating. Keep us posted on ANY ride plans. CONGRATS again on new bike. Looks good. |
