Dan, thanks for the concern! And, thanks for the play-by-play of the seminar. I have to live through you guys for a while. 5 hours!!! Are you serious? Now I am even more pissed that I wasn't there. Did you guys talk about a meeting there next Sat.? I will have a better prognosis on my wrist hopefully by tomorrow afternoon. Brian | ||

Brian, We haven't figured out next Saturday yet. Still up in the air. If you have a broken wrist, Ft. Washington is fine for me. Who knows what the weather will be anyway. | ||

Hey Brian , sorry to hear about your wrist. Will you still be out of town next weekend? If not can you still ride? If not I will gladly ride any of your bikes to keep them in proper working order. I'm sure that will definitely help. You know the gas could go bad or flat spots on the tires, you wouldn't want that to happen would you? | ||

Lars, Dan; No, I am not traveling. I missed going on a week+ all expenses paid trip to France and Turkey complements of Uncle Sam. And, no I cannot ride any of my Bikes. Sucks! Lars, I might have to take you up on your generous offer to exercise my beauties. I will be busy next Sat. at my niece's birthday party. Will know more tomorrow afternoon. Brian | ||

Sorry, I know these things are for ridin', and believe me I did my share for the first few years, I've got almost 30k now, although I had almost that much last year,.... anyhow. I do want to brag about it's showin ability... I just got back from Gettysburg, with a first place for american stock under 1201cc.... beat all the sporties with their show goodies... ah ha!!!! It was nice to field all the positive comments about Buell's, along with just how I've polished it up. | ||
| Ratbuell |
Greg - that's AWESOME. I'll vouch for ya, too...not only do you ride 'er, but you ride the snot out of 'er  It's just that unlike me, you take the time after you ride it to actually clean it up, lol. And, you and Mark have done a helluva job - the paint really is amazing, and your polish work looks great. Nice job  Speaking of clean bikes...roads are dry(ish) today and it looks like lots of the salt got rinsed away, might be a tuber day for a change....YAY. | ||

We're trying something new in Frederick - monthly Bike Night. First one is this Friday, 4/3, till 9pm. Hope to see some Buellers out there! | ||

Hey Bryce, welcome to Columbia! There are a few Buell riders who are based in the Columbia area... myself, Supafast and "G" (not a BADWeber). "G" and I ride XB12s and Supafast has a XB9s. There are plenty of nice roads in northern and western Howard county to ride, between Columbia and Frederick. Just get in touch and when the urge hits you. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
i ride just about every day... i think i need to update my profile.... im on a triumph now. do you do the columbia motorcycle meet ups? i did one or two last season, but i moved here in sept and they booted me over the winter for non participation.... but im gonna sign back up for those shortly. my car is a WRX and i have a full plate on weekends involving auto clubs, AutoX and bike events. is any thing up on sunday? id love to learn more of the mountain roads in the area. so far my riding is around patuxent resivoire..SP? triadelphia, ten oaks, sharp rd... etc. around there. | ||
| Thunderstruck |
Yeah, I was pretty sure you were the guy that bought the green Triumph last summer. Sweet bike! I checked them out at the Washington Motorcycle Show. I've never ridden with the Columbia motorcycle group before. Usually just get out solo or meet up with Buell friends. I'm very familiar with the Tridelphia, Ten Oaks Sharp road area since I don't live far from there and if I want to get out for a quick stress-reducer that's what I'll hit. I have a WRX wagon, but my hobby list is too full to sport that out and start rallying. As it is I haven't been getting on the mountain bike nearly as much as I used to. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
wow! mines a wagon too!!! i love it. the new 08 style. mine does NOT go off road any more. parking lot autoX is gonna be my concentration this summer. there are many pple that do the WRX Triumph Combo. i actually just got back from hitting those roads up, couldnt pass on the weather since it rained on me sunday after noon. so if your free i'll be back from hershey park autoX sat night, we could do a ride sunday morn.

Bryce, I used to autoX a BMW 2002 and 528 with the CCA. Really miss it since I bought the Dodge diesel. I still enjoy spectating though. Any way to send a schedule (PM or otherwise)? I'd love to ride the Uly around to check it out again. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
these are the guys hosting this weekends event. http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmClubDetail. Show?psCLUB_ID=381 i find out about most of the events i want to go to from the WRX forum. | ||
| Thunderstruck |
Mine is an 05 wagon, bone stock. Fun and reliable! I know a guy I used to work with who lives in the Ellicott City area and he autoXs a Honda S2000. I can put you two in touch if you're interested. Sunday morning might work for a ride. I have a bunch to squeeze in this weekend and the pieces are just starting to take shape this early in the week. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
cool, i may know him, was he an ex WRXer? sunday sounds good!! | ||
| Thunderstruck |
No, he drove some unusual sport/economy Nissan that was known to handle well. Can't remember the model. His name is Chris Krahe. Let's see how Sunday works out I may be out late on Saturday, and my GF is coming over on Sunday around 1 to 2 pm. So there is some time in there to get out for a blast. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
cool, we'll play it by ear. | ||

Ft Wash Dudes! Looks like Brian is OOC (out of commission). Have not heard from anybody else. That said, weather permitting, I am heading to Winchester to get a mirror on Saturday, unless somebody makes a much better offer. Company welcome. | ||
| Bman12r |
Dan, If I wasn't busy this Sat. with family matters I would go with you to Winchester. Need something to do. Can't do anything at home, work, or on any of my bikes. Surgery is scheduled for next week. Will have more plates and screws in my wrist than a Buell throttle assembly! Hopefully, in a month or less I will be twisting a throttle again. Brian | ||

Hey Bryce, I'm still up here. Will be moving out of state in November, so I have one more year on the East Coast. Then it's off to Kentucky. (Most likely, I'm moving to Afghanistan, and keeping a summer home in KY which I'll get to visit once in awhile) And I still have Yellow, White, Black & Blue. Keeping the blue, but letting the rest go. I have waaaaaay to many hobbies these days, the Buell doesn't have all my attention these days.  | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
well eric since im up here we should go riding a lot this summer for sure!!! looks like we are gonna try to set something up on sunday morning. id prefer NOT to lead this time... had another friend total his bike on one of my rides. R6 met tree, hole in hand and knee surgery resulted. hows your bike been treating you? what crazy stuff do you have done to it??????  got a new bud in haymarket with a ducati, he rides more than me i think!!! he may come up too. | ||
| Smiley1eye |
no can do this weekend. buell is due for some work. needs two new tires and need to tighten up the head bearing (which will probably end up being replaced) also, picked up a turd of a harley that needs to be re-wired. everything i have is down for some kind of work. maintanence is NOT my favorite thing. another time though. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
head bearing...... you doin a lot of wheelies?? | ||
| Thunderstruck |
Probably has more to do with heavy braking and carrying weight (luggage, passenger....). | ||
| Thunderstruck |
I'm planning on getting out for a few hours on Sunday, say between 10:00 and 2:00. Bluxb9sx, you still up for a ride ? | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
yes. sorry i replied so late. kicked ass at autoX today. got home late. but i am down. i'll pm you my number. | ||
| Deerhunter17 |
Just posted a picture of the bike from the Gettysburg show under Cool Buell Pics. | ||
| Bluxb9sx |
good ride thunderstruck, hopefully we'll get to finish is sometime!! and hopefully i'll be on a new rear soon... got home and saw the threads  | ||
| Thunderstruck |
Yes it was was a nice day to be out! It was great riding with you. I wish we could have finished out the planned route, but time just went by so fast as usual when you're having fun. Plenty of warm(er) days ahead though. |
