Author Message   Tailspining Posted on Friday, January 01, 2010 - 01:31 pm:        Man my head is hurting. A little too much last night.   Drfudd Posted on Monday, January 04, 2010 - 07:23 pm:        Anyone going to IMS this weekend? I just got an email about it I'm busy this weekend so I probably will not be going, but that may change by weeks end   Guell Posted on Monday, January 04, 2010 - 09:03 pm:        I completely forgot about it, so i probably wont be going, not much im interested in for new bikes anyways.   Guell Posted on Tuesday, January 05, 2010 - 07:12 am:        Well hopefully by next weekend it will be warm and ill have my quieter exhaust on the bike. The kooks system was just too loud.   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, January 05, 2010 - 07:36 am:        I'm not too enthused about the M/C show either knowing Buell won't be there. Some of the other manufacturers haven't been showing up either. It's not looking too good for "warm" any time soon. I guess I need to buy some more electric gear.   Jpgrego Posted on Tuesday, January 05, 2010 - 03:38 pm:        I'm going to go over to the IMS and at least check it out, but if it's as cold as it has been lately I may be in the cage. It's too bad they aren't bringing the demo rides back to Greenville this year, I had fun with that last year despite the bitter cold.   Guell Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 - 07:13 pm:        hey hugh, did you ever find a place to do the jet hot coating?   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 04:37 am:        Matt- I never found any place in Charleston. IIRC, the nearest official "Jet Hot" place is in Charlotte, and they'll do a very quick turnaround on a part if you ship it to them. The closest place I could find that did a similar (but not official "Jet Hot") coating was in Conway.   Guell Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 08:47 am:        Ill have to check it out, i want to get the headers done the sterling color this summer, and probably the elbow for the vance and hines too.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 12:41 pm:        South Carolina BUELLers: Just e-mailed UP-DATE Issue 100117 "A" If you meet up with a BUELLer that is not on this E-MAIL LIST, inform the BUELLer how to get on this E-MAIL LIST ... For those of you'll that are new to the e-mail list ... This LIST was star}ted in 2005 when my daughter lived in Columbia ... When "i" visited "i" knew nothing of the area so a LIST was put together of those that would ride ... The CR in front of the name means CHARTER RIDERS FROM 2005 ... My daughter has since moved to Savannah, "BUT" if "i" can get to anything that is going on or even stir you'll up to do something "i" will be there when visiting ... In BUELLing LaFayette(aka BUELListis) SCRIBE, keeper of the E-MAIL LIST Ljenne73c@verizon.net   Chevnut55 Posted on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 05:24 pm:        hello im a ma. buell rider. my wife and i are looking into moving to s.c. we were wondering how the riding is there. are riding season here is 3-4 months if were lucky how is it there? are roads are the worst on earth hope you have better roads and places to ride. i also like to race,track days and dragways. any input on the area (looking into the florence area) would be helpful..all we know is home prices etc...   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 06:21 pm:        Steve- We pretty much have 12 month riding in SC. You'll probably have the most issues with riding in July/August. It's tolerable with mesh gear as long as the bike's moving. We've had a cold winter this year but generally our winters are pretty mild. I grew up not too far from Florence (I was actually born there). Road condition is probably better than what you're used to as we don't get all the snow and ice to cause damage. There are no twisties near Florence, but there are plenty of nice backroads. Florence is about 70 miles away from Myrtle Beach. There are some excellent twisties in the north west corner of the state. The nearest twisties are about 220 miles away near Greenville, SC. The nearest track is Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC, about 60 miles away. The nearest dragstrip is the Darlington Dragway, about 20 miles away near Hartsville, SC. I think we've got at least one SC Bueller from Florence. Come on down!   Scbuellkat Posted on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - 11:57 pm:        Hey if you move then Jomama will have someone a lot closer than the rest of us to get to ride with!!! Hugh pretty much said it all....   Chevnut55 Posted on Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - 10:58 am:        thanks for the info.i hope this happens,i can not take another winter.its been 3 months since i rode or drove one of my cars or sea doo,and at least another 3 to go.id ride my quad but there is no place to ride legal at all. right now were are trying to find the best area for us. my needs are dragways and race tracks,car show and cruse nights,and a place to ride my sea doo and raptor.my wifes are close to walmart!it would be nice to ride on some nice roads,we pay alot of taxes on everything..i do not see where the money goes..bad roads..bad cops..nothing to do..no place to go.sory to complain so much been waiting 20 years to move!   Aptbldr Posted on Friday, January 22, 2010 - 07:55 pm:        Matt/Guell, beins' you're headin' up a low-country ride .... how's it comin'? Not that my calendar's full   Xblaw Posted on Sunday, January 24, 2010 - 06:52 pm:        Note to self: Do not wear polarized sun glasses under AGV clear shield unless you want the Pink Floyd experience.   Guell Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 08:03 pm:        same thing on my shark, i just carry a dark shield and use my normal glasses, more comfy that way. (Message edited by Guell on January 26, 2010)   Xblaw Posted on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - 06:21 pm:        I was just too lazy to change the shield to the dark one. I have been doing a lot of commuting in the dark with these early winter nights. Maybe I should not be so lazy. BTBAM is coming soon... Check out Scale the Summit on myspace. They are really good.   Demarsico Posted on Friday, February 05, 2010 - 04:32 pm:        i hate this rain. i was gone from early dec, and watched weather here and it showed high 50s and 60s a lot. i just got back and took bike out of storage on wednesday and now look at this.   Jomama Posted on Friday, February 05, 2010 - 04:48 pm:        Agreed. This weather sucks. Was watching the Speed channel the other night and saw a documentary on "the million dollar highway", US 550 in Colorado between Montrose and Durango. They followed a few bikers around the twisties and hair-pins and discussed how it is one of the most dangerous roads in the US. Looked like fun but scary with no guard-rails and 1000ft drop-offs. Wish it was only a short ride to Colorado, but needs to warm up first... Maybe a cross-country trip should be in the works, but may need more vacation time...   Scbuellkat Posted on Saturday, February 06, 2010 - 06:26 pm:        Dito That would be KICK *SS!!!!!   Xblaw Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 03:50 pm:        Dang it's windy and frigid.   Guell Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 06:43 pm:        ^^ what he said, it sucked being on a roof downtown today.   Rcontroler Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 10:03 pm:        The ride home tonight was very frigid and the headwind made it worse. I almost stopped to put on the heated gloves but decided that would be a colder hassle; so I mushed on home. Think I'll drive the cage tomorrow.   Oldog Posted on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - 10:56 pm:        Hey Matt you going to HC in june?   Al_lighton Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 12:20 pm:        I, or rather, one of my customers, needs a favor of someone in South Carolina if there is someone that can do it. I have a customer who is the father of a US Serviceman who is currently deployed. When he deployed from here in San Diego, one of his "friends" wrecked his Firebolt, and then it got further screwed up while it was in storage. His dad fetched the bike back to South carolina and is trying to get it fixed up prior to his son getting back from deployment. The dad lives in Tamassee, South Carolina. I'm fetching him all the parts that he needs, but one of the items that was stolen from the bike in storage was the ECM. I can get him the ECM, but he won't be able to get the bike working without a TPS reset. That's where the favor comes in....I can't do his TPS reset from here in San Diego. Is there anyone that has ECMspy or VDSTS that could do a TPS reset for this guy once he gets it all together? He's already spending a fair amount of money to get the bike back together for his son, I'm trying to help him minimize the extra expense of having to cart the bike to a dealer to get that done. If there is someone that would be willing to do it, I can give you his contact info. Al   Tailspining Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 12:54 pm:        Just got off the phone with Al. I've got the TPS reset equipment and live in Greer.   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 05:07 pm:        Good job Tailspining! Glad you can help him out.   Jonesz0003 Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 05:14 pm:        Does anyone one know where there is a dyno i can take my 1125R to around Columbia, SC or where the closest one is? Thanks   Scbuellkat Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 - 05:46 pm:        I think Thunder Tower HD has one, but am not completely sure. And as for price, you got me.... thats all I know of at the moment. Maybe someone else can help you better than me.
