yeah that's a nice store, i actually called them and was thinking of getting a DUNLOP Roadsmart http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=& item=TUC_31-0813-1 they seem like solid tires to me! all i need now is for my buddy to call me back to help me get the tire off the back of my bike. anything in particular i should know about doing that small operation? it should be pretty straight-forward right? thanks for the super fast response Buellistic! |

Miros: If you do not have a FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL and PARTS BOOK for your YEAR and MODEL you need to get them ... You must TORQUE you AXLE NUT to FACTORY TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS or it will cause your wheel bearings to fail because over tightening compresses the soft spacer between the bearings ... |

BUELL RIDE AND 'GATHERING' OK boyz and girlz. We're riding on this coming Saturday April 10! WOOHOO! So here is the skinny. We'll ride around Lake Murray. Meet at Lowes on US highway #1 in West Columbia. This is just west of Interstate 26 at exit 111-A. Kickstands up at 9:30. (I have tested the route and this start time works to get back in time to eat. Total drive time in the cage was a little over thee hours.) After we finish the ride, all are invited to my backyard deck for some crockpot venison chili and soft drinks. If spirits are in order, BYOB. So I can prepare correctly, let me know that you will stay and eat. An approximate headcount will be great! My cell number on that day will be 8034294501.

My address is Greer, too. If you don't take the ride, come to our neighborhood yard sale... |

Scott, You're really pushing this 'yard sale' thing. I must admit I've become a little bit more curious about it. Or is it misery loves company? |

Tom Bumpus (of Bumpus HD/Buell in Mufreesboro, TN, employer of Ft_bstrd) just posted he'll likely be riding a Buell in an endurance race at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, SC this weekend: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=290431&post=1779154#POST1779154 |

Hey all, good to see a decent following in the Columbia area. I bought my 09r in November from Chuck, put about 1000 miles on it before coming to Iraq in January. I will be here till the first week in June and will be up for as much riding as possible. Ride safe! Hope to meet some of you guys for some riding when I get back. Seth |

Hey Seth, glad to hear from you. You'll be disappointed to find out that Thundertower gave Chuck the axe about a month ago despite his great performance selling Buells. Stay safe over there; we'll have to have a group ride to celebrate your return when you come back. |

Hughlysses I heard that Chuck got the axe, TTHD lost a good salesman there. He was great when I bought my bike. Definitely have to get together for a ride when I get back. Ride safe, I hear the weather is amazing. Looking forward to getting some riding in with fellow Buell riders! |

Yeah Seth good to hear from you. There are several of us floating around out in the Columbia area. Just give out a shout and someone would probably be around to fire up the ole Buell and log some miles around the area. Make sure you slow down and wait for the rest of us to catch up with you when we do get out and ride!! Be Safe Out There. |

Sweet looking forward to meeting everyone! Been there for 2 years now, and have only seen one other Buell riding around, and it is a guy I know from Shaw AFB he has an 08 12r and an 08 25r. It would be great to ride with a group. I am new to sportbikes, I have a Harley so I am not a maniac still getting used to having power on demand unlike the lead sled. |

I need to see if Jason is still out there. He lives in sumter and is stationed at Shaw too. He has an 09cr. His name here is delbuort. Im going to have to send him an email to see what is up. I live in the Lex/West Columbia area. I have seen several bikes traveling Hwy #1 in the past month or so but have not really noticed anyone else new here until this week. |

I have two bikes and when I usually see them, I am on the Jap bike and not the buell....or in the car... |

I guess when I get back to civilization I will have to keep my eyes peeled. I bought my Buell in November and I have a Harley. I have a feeling the Harley will be collecting dust and in need of a new battery before the end of this riding season. |

Well it's getting closer to the planned ride on Saturday. As of right now there are 8 SC Buell Riders riding and eating chili. If there are any more who want to join us, let me know by Friday afternoon. Otherwise I will plan on preparing lunch for the 8 who said they'll come. If the weatherperson is right, will need to layer up; for the early ride will be right nippy. Still planning to get the kickstands up at 9:30.

Hey guys make sure you use the corrected phone number in rcontroler's last post before this post because it is the correct phone number that I use to call him!!!! I noticed that the phone number in another red posting was incorrect as well. |
