Hey maybe it was all the american thunder on the Buells that he was giving a break for, if anything I think the Ninja could have done us all in (j/k). although I can't wait for the warmer weather, gonna put a lot of miles this year. thanks for the ride guys, hope to see ya soon. |

Anyone else use Geico Insurance for their Buell? My policy just went from $346/year to $247/year no tickets no claims/full coverage |

I'm with Geico, went from $396 a year in December when I got the 25r, to $326 a year in January a month later. Not a bad deal. I would be up for a ride, but I think I am going to have the dealer look at my coolant leak, seems to be getting worse.. |

It doesn't much matter for me. If Nate wants to go then we'd better make it Saturday. How about 1pm at the dealership again? |

Works for me.....I was actually hoping to make it up towards Idaho City.....or atleast to Robie Creek Turn off. I plan on riding out there friday after work hopefully to check the icemelt conditions.... |

Well if we are doing a shorty maybe some Blacks Creek twisties would be fun, no cops and no traffic out there, or at least north of the freeway anyway. If everyone's up for a longer ride maybe Horseshoe Bend to Emmett canyon? The sand should be about gone through there. Idaho City is still sketchy this time of year especially with the snow we had this week the shady spots might put a guy down. I know the sheriff is really watching that stretch too. A ride out Swan Falls is kind of cool with big long stretches that are good for hauling a$$ because you can see a long way but not many twisties. Simco road is a blast too but we'd have to hit the freeway to get there. Nice twisties no cops, no traffic. We can always decide Saturday when we meet up too. |

I probably won't be able to make it Taking the bike in tomorrow, they have never worked on one so not sure how long they will have it. Also messed up my back a little, so probably a good thing I won't have the bike around, with the nice weather, may hurt myself more... I should be back in the saddle by next weekend |

Sorry I had to ditch out on you today guys. But, dizzy spells and riding don't combine to well. I'll catch y'all next time though. |

Ok did anyone make it to the ride today, It looks like I could go next weekend. anyone interested. I like Jeremy's idea about riding with the better riders from BRN, it gives a little variety to the ride, plus we can kick their buts on the corners. |

I made it out the the shop a little after one. didnt see anyone so i bailed. On the other hand on sunday i made it out to emmett/black canyon area and gave the cute little michelin guy on the rail of my tire a nice little haircut.... loving the pilot powers. |

Who'd I see on the lighting (think it was a city X)in meridian about 5:15 or so. Blue air box cover, black wheels, bike sounded good Good news for me, got mine back this evening. No leak for the ride home, and the electric is staying charged for the moment. Hopefully this back of mine will heal up in the next few days so I can get back on the saddle. |

I saw the same bike across the freeway, there was a black uly behind it, maybe a test drive? from the dealer. |

Anybody have any suggestions on where to get some graphics/decals? Bike needs a little customization |

Nate, I myself don't like anything but the bike and what it needs, for me clean is mean. |

I am usually in agreement, nothing flashy. But am finding myself wanting to make the bike a little different. Probably has something to do with buying a Buell in the first place, the want for something different. Not looking for a full graphics kit or anything to that effect, just something to set it off. |

Damn it Jeremy! I knew it. I drove by Snake River today and saw a yellow and blue firebolt on the side of the shop. You could have at least given me your blue wheels Anyhow, nice new bike FOR A DOUCHE CANOE !!!

You know Jeremy, there would have been a line for those blue wheels.... me included. Not too shabby for a Yamaha What made you do it? Not too often on these boards you see someone go Buell, IL4, back to Buell, back IL4 again... |

Nice bike man! Snake River is great to deal with. They actually have parts in stock when you need something. They have taken care of me and my dirt bike for years. I bet they are going to service your bike free of charge for the first few thousand miles too? |
