Author Message   Guell Posted on Monday, September 28, 2009 - 07:37 pm:        Pegs dont allow me to haha. I think i found my next bike too... triumph speed triple. Gotta get the truck paid off!   Scm2 Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 07:01 am:        Hi Everybody! I'm new to the site and recently purchased a 2000 M2. Does anyone host any Buell group rides around Columbia?   Demarsico Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 07:50 am:        well rode the bike this morning at 54 degrees and realized i need to put the liner back into the jacket and get out the winter gloves. brrrrrr. whats up scm2, i am kind of a newbee too. i live on the north east of columbia. i havent seen any group rides yet. there is a buelltoberfest, but i dont know much about that.   Rcontroler Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 09:27 am:        I am in Columbia area too. Try this for more on Buelltoberfest. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 488704.html?1254281687 We went last year and had an absolute BLAST but I've got an R/C fly-in on Saturday and gotta go to that instead. Been a few group rides around Lake Murray and Wateree but not recently. Hey that means it is time for one!!!! Waiting for another shout about this... (Message edited by rcontroler on September 30, 2009)   Scbuellkat Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 05:36 pm:        Shout!!! I am from Lexington too! Right off Hwy 1 near the barnyard flea market. Ready to ride when the schedule clears up. Yeah talk about the temps. At 1:30 to 2 AM it was pretty frikin chilly for the first time in the cool ride. Especially with the mesh jacket. I rode to work with the leathers on today. It should be a bit warmer for me tonight. I even had a long sleeve and the liner in and it was still chilly. I just have to get conditioned to the temps and then the 30's and 40's will be no problem (Message edited by scbuellkat on September 30, 2009)   Scm2 Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 07:49 pm:        Cool their are fellow Buell riders in the area. I have never actually seen one on the road other than mine. If any of you all want to go ride my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually will take a Thursday or Friday off and go ride for a few hours. Let me know I am off exit 51 by Lexington country club.   Scbuellkat Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 09:59 pm:        Heck I use to travel to Lex High School that way when I was in High School. I am usually off friday through sunday. You are correct the Buells are few and far between around here. The bad thing is that there are some around that we dont know about.   Guell Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 10:33 pm:        Tomorrow cant come soon enough!   Scbuellkat Posted on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 - 11:57 pm:        Dang thats right, I almost forgot. Ya'll have fun down there. Most important, Be Safe. I will be at work while yall have lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of fun. Maybe they will do April Buells Day so then I can try and attend a spring event with out the rain that so many of you have already experienced.   Xblaw Posted on Thursday, October 01, 2009 - 01:55 pm:        Saw a White Lightning downtown today and last week I saw a dirty, dirty Firebolt.   Guell Posted on Thursday, October 01, 2009 - 02:23 pm:        I see a blue firebolt about once a week on savanna highway.   Coldwind Posted on Friday, October 02, 2009 - 12:12 pm:        Hey Scbeullkat, want to get together this weekend and do some puttering around? I see really good weather for the next few days. Let me know if interested. Yeah, the night before last was chilly, you really feel some cold spots when getting into the outskirts of the warm big cities. Last nite was almost the same. Remember what your mother used to say, "dress for the weather" ha haaaa!   Scbuellkat Posted on Friday, October 02, 2009 - 04:46 pm:        Yeah if I get some time. I probably got just sunday. Saturday I got to help set up for a party and stay near the house. Hey it may be a good time to meet some of the newbies here. Coldwind just say where to meet up. Anyone else is welcome to join! Demarsico, scm2, rcontroler, jds17, anyone else? I say sunday.   Scbuellkat Posted on Friday, October 02, 2009 - 09:09 pm:        Sunday afternoon it would have to be. I will probably be going to church. Maybe 1pm at the earliest.   Coldwind Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 02:11 am:        Sunday at or after 1 is okay with me. I am open for suggestions as for meeting up. We just keep up with this post and decide what to do.   Scm2 Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 09:32 am:        Sounds good to me. I will have to clear it with the wife but I should be able to sneak out for a few hours. Let me know the time and place.   Scbuellkat Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 09:49 am:        Unless someone comes up with a place b4 sometime late tonight, I will try and remember to post b4 I go to bed. Its going to be busy today and I will check back whenever I get a chance. In the worst case, it will be up by in the morning. We may meet somewhere in west columbia near the interstate (I-26) unless someone else comes up with something better. Or lexington. It depends on what everybody else thinks. Maybe 378 and I-20? Just a couple possibilities. It seems that most are near I-20.   Coldwind Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 10:35 am:        Hey guys, I-20 378 or I-20 Rt 1 will work for me. How about the rest of y'all?   Scm2 Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 10:50 am:        Either is good for me. 1:00pm meet up time?   Scbuellkat Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 02:07 pm:        1 pm at the shell near the waffle house. Lexington side.   Coldwind Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 06:20 pm:        Sounds good, see you then. Whoever else out there reading this, is more then welcomed to come, please do.   Scm2 Posted on Saturday, October 03, 2009 - 09:37 pm:        sounds good.   Scbuellkat Posted on Sunday, October 04, 2009 - 08:46 am:        That is I-20 exit at hwy 1. 1pm at the shell on the lexington side of I-20. That should clear up the location. I seemed kinda vague.   Scbuellkat Posted on Sunday, October 04, 2009 - 08:46 pm:        Well the ride started today at about 1:15 and I arrived back home at about 4:00pm. It was a nice ride with a bit of fun and embarrassment missing 2nd on one occasion!! Here is a pic of Me and Coldwind and Scm2. Scm2 has a pretty nice M2. I like the D&D pipe but I think Guells is a little bit louder, but had about the same ring to it! Maybe next time we can get a few more to ride! On the way back down plattsprings rd. me and coldwind saw a purple or plum colored firebolt with soft saddle bags on it going the other way from us right by the columbia airport. We were surprised.   Guell Posted on Sunday, October 04, 2009 - 09:43 pm:        Awesome time, Not many sc guys up there Eryc, Will and me. I have some pics that ill upload tomorrow or whenever. I really need some rearsets now, these low pegs are driving me crazy.   Scm2 Posted on Sunday, October 04, 2009 - 09:44 pm:        Had a blast today guys! We will definitely have to do it again. I will try and scout out some twisties this week.   Jomama Posted on Monday, October 05, 2009 - 08:01 am:        Really wish I could have made the Buelltoberfest. Maybe next year. Too much work and crappy weddings to attend this past weekend for me to go this year... How was the weather up there? Was riding thru Charleston this weekend(on my other bike) and saw a red Firebolt pass me on Fri afternoon around 5pm on I-26 near the 526 interchange, and then saw a group of 3 Buells around noon heading south on 17 between Georgetown and Charleston on Sunday on my way back to Myrtle. Anyone on here? Would eventually like to meet some of you other Buellers at some point... Any one go to Myrtle this weekend for the fall rally?   Scbuellkat Posted on Monday, October 05, 2009 - 08:52 am:        I am hoping for the April Buells Day to develop for this coming April. Did any of you 3 that went to buelltoberfest get to hear anyone talking about the possible change for the spring event? I have only heard of one thread talking about it on here.   Hughlysses Posted on Monday, October 05, 2009 - 09:00 am:        Wow- there must have been a lot of Buells out in SC this weekend. Badwebber "Buelltours" (former Charleston resident who currently lives in Ohio) was in Charleston. He bought my S3 a couple of years ago. I went riding with him and his friend on Sunday; they were on S3T's and I was on my Uly. We rode from James Island to Edisto Beach and then up to Summerville. It was a good day for riding backroads, but I'd rather have been at Buelltoberfest...   Coldwind Posted on Monday, October 05, 2009 - 09:20 am:        It was a good ride yesterday, I enjoyed it. I wished more came along, maybe the next time around.
