Author Message   Mountainrider Posted on Saturday, November 24, 2007 - 06:38 pm:        A great day to be out. No traffic and nice clean roads. My favorite time of year. Did not see many bikes out ,must have been to cold. I can understand if you live in Atlanta that it would be cold coming and going. The days are short and when the sun goes down it gets cold in a hurry. I use electric gear and it makes riding in the fall and winter a lot more fun. JC is at Carolina Motorsports Park with his son Tony. He has called me about 100 times today trying to keep me informed. The good thing is he left me his Uly and I am loving it. Have decided that if there is any way possible I will get me one.   Buckmh60 Posted on Saturday, November 24, 2007 - 11:59 pm:        Hey guys can you tell me where I might pick up a 05 buell XB12R PARTS CATALOG from, looked on e-bay and they only had the 04?   Odie Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 12:17 am:        Have you tried Stone Mountain yet???   Buckmh60 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 09:44 am:        no I am down in Valdosta 200 miles away   Smokescreen Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 11:07 am:        We ship everyday. How did you think it would get there buying it off e-bay? Smokescreen   Buckmh60 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 02:14 pm:        ok i an stupid, it thought i might be able to pick one up cheaper than the dealer price   Smokescreen Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 02:31 pm:        You don't buy your oil filters from Wal-Mart too do you? Just because it may be cheaper somewhere else, doesn't mean your still getting a deal. My 3%er's enjoy my 10% off for being Badweb members too. How many e-bayers will do that for you? just razzing you a bit.

It took all of 30 seconds to find the charging problem. Pulled the stator wires down to ring out the coils with an OHM meter and found the leads worn thru the conductor... 1 wirer = 2 guys in the dirt and a dead deer, go figure. Feeling better and healing up well but the concussion has me feeling dizzy sometimes. That was a more natural feeling in my youth but for another reason!   Smokescreen Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 03:53 pm:        Just trying to keep your local supporting dealership in business guys. E-bay till you pass out. Smokescreen   Shred Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 04:01 pm:        Smokescreen, Can ya get me Ducati parts? I'll need a racer discount too. lol!!! I need to do a tune-up on my little air cooled Duc' After racing all year long which for me was 12 races and 12+ practices it finally needs a tune-up. I can't complain spending $350....That for the valve adjustent,belts,oil,filter,plugs. I might need to inspect the stock clutch too after all that racing. You know I'm play'n!! I love my Buell, at least my first one. It was 30,000 miles dependable fun. I just don't know whats up with the 12R. I know, Blah...Blah..Blah.. M_R, Did Tony get his racing license yet? How did he do at CMP? Heard their was a few crashes in the a.m, cold tires and a cold track will do it every time. I was wondering, did anyone gain weight over the holidays? I know I did!!! At least 3-4 lbs and its all in the belly. Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 05:03 pm:        It was a bad weekend at the track. Lot of wrecks. Tony did not wreck but came close. He rear ended a guy and almost crashed both of them. Almost being the good thing. The track was cold and sandy. He has not gotten his racing license. He really needs to get it done before spring. I really want a Uly even though I know it will slow me down ,which might be a good thing.   Shred Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 05:48 pm:        M_R, Glad Tony's o.k...Sh_t happens! I'd rather it happen on the track than in the hills.   U4euh Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 09:11 pm:        New12-you have mail! Did anyone everfollow through on the 3% patches? I've got my Buell garage shirt at the C3'rs shirt maker getting some stitchwork. 3% would make a nice addition to the shirt. Just asking. Can anyone email me the file? Maybe I could get the stitch lady around here to make a good copy of it.   Bambi Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 12:02 am:        Hey Jim, Actually, if you will go back thru the posts from just this past week (maybe 10 days) Glitch posted one for me. Don't worry, you don't have to read all the posts. It's big and easy to see. Or do a search and look up my posts since I only post here and a lot less than Glitch. I asked and then glitch posted it either that same day or the day after so it shouldn't be that hard to find.   New12r Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 07:05 am:        Well, we are back....... Trip report tonight when I get off work. Short version, Had fun...Sam and Hayden got to see 3 inches of real powdery snow. 75 sucked on the way home and I found a SECLUDED NEW ROAD FOR PHOTOS shortcutting through the mtns. to get off the freeway. Happy late Turkey day.   New12r Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 07:10 am:        Jim, Never got the email, can you resend?? I would say call but my phone will be down for a few more hours.   Glitch Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 07:12 am:        With regards to patches, there has been some success. Deadduck, is doing some work on them now. Deadduck, sorry I've not had time to call, things here have been a bit upsidedown. I'll give you a ring this evening. Everyone, wish me luck! Things at Coke have changed. Coke had decided to have all IT under one umbrella. Not my umbrella, so at the end of this year, my contract will no longer exist. After spending the past week or so in shock, I've been trying to remember how it is one gos about getting a job. Things have changed a bit in the past ten years or so. I have found that my old job at Millenium is open, I'll be calling them today. If I'm able to go back there, it'll mean a pay raise (w00t!) and a commute down to about a half an hour, with no interstate! So, wish me luck!   New12r Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 07:23 am:        Good luck G! What do you do, I am now officially looking for work. MR, I will sell you my Uly, If you have real interest let me know, I will call and get the payoff.   New12r Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 07:58 am:        Jim, Never got the email, can you resend?? Nevermind, I got the voicemail.   Kdan Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 08:03 am:        Glitch, it's not so bad, as long as you keep your options open. Get on Monster dot com. I know E*Trade is always looking as well as Checkfree. Checkfree is more a mainframe animal, but E*trade is more up your alley. An Indian accent doesn't hurt either. Checkfree is in Norcross or Duluth. Let me know. I have friends there.   Glitch Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 09:57 am:        Thanks Dan, I may just take you up on it.   Glitch Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 10:35 am:        IMS anyone? or should I say... IMS Everyone! (Message edited by glitch on November 26, 2007)   Kdan Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 03:18 pm:        We're there! Saturday afternoon, huh?   Shred Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 03:33 pm:        Good luck G' Ya'll wish me luck...I'm on my way to the ER/hospital. My leg started hurting and hasn't gone away so I called the my Doc and he said go to the ER. I just hope the DVT 'blood clot' hasn't come back.I'll know soon, wish me luck. I hate hospitals!   Odie Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 05:48 pm:        Glitch- good luck! I'm sure you and yours will be fine. Shred- good luck with the leg. Maybe you should take it easy for a day or two, huh!?!?! I had a few fleeting moments of spare time yesterday and thought this might look cool. What'cha think??   Mountainrider Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 05:57 pm:        Shred I hope it is not a clot. Glitch I wish you luck. Wish I had an easier job but I guess I should be happy with what I got. Charlie send me an email with the good and the bad.   New12r Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 06:18 pm:        MR, Will do. Good luck Shred, See ya tomorrow.   Glitch Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 07:21 pm:        Shred, keep me up to date on how it's going, I'll help if I can. Just let me know   Sanchez Posted on Tuesday, November 27, 2007 - 01:57 am:        > 1 wirer = 2 guys in the dirt and a dead deer, go figure. Damn, life is funny like that. At least you've got a good sense of humor about it. > Ya'll wish me luck... Good luck! It's probably just all that old shrapnel from 'nam. > So, wish me luck! Nah, you don't need luck. You've got rugged good looks. Not that it will help your commute any, but Cox probably has IT positions open: http://www.cox.com/CoxCareer/ Our IT department grows continuously. I'm happy to give you a reference, of course.
