Author Message   New12r Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 09:07 pm:        I know but it sure looks like fun. I have also considered a M2 or a S3T due to funding issues. I would like a Uly but I fear I will want to wheelie it..........................   Stealthxb Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 10:02 pm:        New12r...you would wheelie a big wheel! when do you want to try this adventure? I think we should have one pre-MB run to work out the bugs and pick the spots. You have a good weekend in February?   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 10:14 pm:        > anybody have someplace I can crash? Yeah, I have a spare bedroom. It even has a bed in it.   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 10:16 pm:        > Sanchez, I didn't get email, Send me directions You've got mail!   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 10:24 pm:        > I have also considered a M2 or a S3T due to funding issues. A tuber should be a good wheelie deterrent too. You only have to change one belt on those to realize what a gigantic pain in the ass it is compared to the XBs, and then you'll never risk breaking one again.   Buellish Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 10:32 pm:        "You only have to change one belt on those to realize what a gigantic pain in the ass it is compared to the XBs" Ah Grasshopper,you didn't consider the Venerable S2.It has Removable sideplates. Very easy to change belts.Besides,I got 52,000 miles out of mine including wheelies!   Shred Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 05:42 am:        Buellish_Wheelie-ish...   Duc_htr Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 05:56 am:        Sanchez, you don't mind if I crash there do you? just checkin... so far it looks like I have to be at the Airport Saturday, plans could change, but I will be at the rebuild party if plans stay the same... look forward to seeing you guys... Stealth, I will have to check my calendar... I'll get back with ya... DO WE HAVE A DATE YET FOR MBIV?   Black_sunshine Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 05:59 am:        Stealth/Duc_htr.....remember I have a helmet cam. I'm sure I can find a loaner from Clown or a Demo bike to help film.   Duc_htr Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 06:16 am:        I think its a great Idea to gather all the people and equipment we can find... get together and setup short runs maybe 5-10 miles long then once the group passes we all meet at another spot... then if you guys want we can bring it all back to my place in the mountains and edit it all and make some sweet DVDs... I got everything we need here to do it... just a thought... that way we could have multiple peoples input... I dunno... I have... Digital camera bike cam another video camera... maybe two... stealth BS lets talk tomorrow night about it... if I make it... BS come join us bro... and we will have your bike back up and running by then... RIGHT? glass half full... right?   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 07:08 am:        > Sanchez, you don't mind if I crash there do you? Not a problem. > gather all the people and equipment we can find I have a video camera, and I'll have a bullet cam in time for MBIV. I'll also try to have a laptop with a firewire port on hand so we can rip everyone's video off and consolidate it on site before people run off.   Duc_htr Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 07:15 am:        Yea me too... (laptop) maybe we could just do it all there... where ever there is...   M1a65 Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 07:33 am:        M2's wheelie just lovely and I have 30K+ on my belt with little sign of wear. Now mind you more abuse with a tuber = more down time. But reading this blog for the last several years it seems the XB's are about the same... The Sporty based engine was never meant for sustained running at 6K rpm's and the beatings we deliver upon it in Buell chasseys half it's life expectancy I'm sure. Few Sporty owners will know the joy of powering out of a curve with the front wheel in the air thou. Thats the price you pay for performance. Also with S2's, X1's and M2's you can often find them for sale between 3-4 grand, what a smoking deal on a American Hot rod. Especially if you've got an extra grand burning a hole in your pocket for go fast goodies, not that most used bikes in that price range don't come very well set up. Can't see ever letting my trusty rusty M2 go for the song of todays prices even with all it's ills. The H-D love/hate experience is like any deep relationship, you have to be committed!   New12r Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 10:51 am:        Work is boring............. (Message edited by new12r on January 18, 2007)   Glitch Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 11:51 am:        I hear ya.   Black_sunshine Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 12:02 pm:        Wish mine was boring/slow for a change. Wanna come over and help me fab some legs?   Shred Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 12:56 pm:        Bored...I'm never bored at work, its always an adventure. Rather be riding....   Missbehavin Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 02:35 pm:        I call fun job of the day in about 10 mintues...bus duty in the 34 degree drizzles. Never fails that they run and jump in the puddles just close enough to get you. I would rather be riding too, but my bike has been "absent" for about two weeks now. I miss her!!! Hint, hint Smokescreen   Bunny Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 03:35 pm:        Sounds fun, MB!!   Mountainrider Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 07:09 pm:        I could do some filming even though I ride a Suzuki.   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 08:11 pm:        MR, your Suzuki is an honorary Buell.   Kdan Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 08:19 pm:        There are at least three SV's in the 3%'ers! At least they're V-Twins.   Mountainrider Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 08:22 pm:        Maybe we could put Buell decals on it.   Duc_htr Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 08:57 pm:        MR I got an extra tank decal... It's orange... but you can have it...   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 09:35 pm:        Bobby, can you get us some more of those 3% logo stickers? I need a couple of black ones for my Uly.   Bambi Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 11:35 pm:        Yeah, Silver Bullet, I want about 5 of the silver ones and 5 black   Mrs_glitch Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 07:12 am:        Thought this might help everyone get through this cold Friday with a chuckle. THINGS YOU WOULD LOVE TO SAY OUT LOUD AT WORK: 1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit. 2. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. 3. How about never? Is never good for you? 4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. 5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way. 6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. 7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. 8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant. 9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying. 10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again... 11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid. 12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. 13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a damn. 14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. 15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you 16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. 17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. 18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. 19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!? 20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. 21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn Off. 22. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...? 23. Do I look like a people person? 24. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. 25. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left. 26. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. 27. If I throw a stick, will you leave? 28. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed. 29. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed. 30. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. 31. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door. 32. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1? 33. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.   Xbullet Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 08:04 am:        another cheesegrater falls victim to a hacksaw and a grinder. last night my xb got circumcised. will post pics soon. not bad work for a rookie metalworker, though. DIY rocks!   Glitch Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 08:26 am:        Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. DIY rocks! And the price is right too!   Kdan Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 08:54 am:        I really don't mind my Cheesegrater. I think the look suits the bike. And my bike is not going for self mutilation to identify itself with any particular religion. I mean...other than the Bikini Bottom cult.
