I don't know if anybody is planning on riding the HOG event in july that ends in seaside. The big bike show that the city of SEASIDE puts on the 11-12 it looks like LATUS is renting a whole street according to some infor i heard last week end with the fuel prices and other things they are forcasting poss. 6000 bikes what a chance to show off our club.From what i understand This is not a brand specific show only the ride. May be we could get a place to hang the new banner? OL Bill |

Bill- Good idea. Maybe we can get folks together during one of those afternoons, get the banner up, wear our t-shirts, hand out some PBR cards |

I have the Long stock seat and I believe I still have the second passenger peg. Do you still have the one I gave you earlier? |

Jeez, I'd forgotten all about it. I do still have it. How are you feeling, man? Healing up ok I hope. I have similar (i think) nerve problems in my leg. hope it clears up, and all else also. How bout $125 for all. seat is 100 new at latus, peg hangers are around 30 IIRC. I'd like to contribute to the xb/aron repair fund :-) Lemme know Gene |

Sounds good to me Gene. if you want i can bring the stuff with me to work tomorrow. My work is just off of 205 on NE 87th ave. I went to the doctor yesterday and he is thinking I should be good in about three weeks. If not then they will do an MIR. I have a lot of soft tissue damage but no torn ligaments from what they can tell. I can also flex my foot finally so I can drive again with a little effort getting in and out. |

Hey Julie, did you already sell? I didn't see your listing so thought maybe you had already got the cash and wondering what your new name is going to be. 1125R-abuser? RC8-abuser? It's always interesting to see what people gravitate to after a Buell. |

Well I rode the V-Rod this morning for the first time since my wreck. A little stiff getting off the bike but easier then getting in and out of a car. Still not able to ride the FZ1. Requires too much bending of the knee. |

Hey guys, no I didn't sell it yet. I will check out the listing. Do they expire like craigslist? I am not getting another bike at this time...but I still have the GSXR 750, I guess I would have to change my name if I don't have a buell anymore, sad. One of these times we will ride with you guys again. I am always watching the posts and it seems like the rides that I am interested in we already have plans that day. I am off to Cali now for 2 weeks and maybe we can hook up when I get back. Take care everyone! |

No the badweb listing only falls further down the list unless there are posts on the listing to keep it up on top. Have a great time in Cali (GXSRabuser) |

Let me clarify. I didn't see your craigslist ad. No new bike = Tony abuser |

New 1125CR Street fighter on Buell.com I will have to test ride this thing when latus gets one in. |

OK, so it's the 1125R with a different nose? Engine and trany are the same, I suspect the frame is too. One of the pulleys, pob. the front, is different because the final drive ratio is different. Wheelbase is the same, with the new one being .1" shorter Rake angle is the same. Another 1/2 inch ground clearance, not sure what they did to get that, perhaps the swingarm is different? Needed to do more on the air inlet. I need to see it in person, but I wish those had gone away. |

I dont expect Buell to change the engine for a while. They have a lot of money tied up in this one and don't have the volume of sales to offer 1/2 dozen motor variations like the the Japs do.} |

Well if I buy another Buell it will be the CR. If it not then I guess I will be without a buell for a while. The S and STT discontinued. The TT suspension is now std on the Ss. Black forks look good. |

+1 on the air inlets. At least in the pictures they look huge. Just can't get over them. Seems like they could have been made smaller even when I look at the 1125R in person. |

Hi Guys, I was walking in my neighborhood and noticed a brand new Buell in someones driveway, I talked to him for a bit and gave him the info for the website. I think that he will be checking it out! You guys riding Saturday? |

interesting looking bike, not anything like i imagined it would look, and once again, those air scoops?! they are the modern day equivalent to the old breadbox airfilter on the tubers, look what happened to all of those! |
