Author Message   Josequinones Posted on Saturday, May 28, 2011 - 10:47 am:        Seen at http://stars-stripes-spokes.com/ down at RFK   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, May 29, 2011 - 10:53 am:        Paul - love to see more pics of the M2 with the orange wheels being the only orange. I "inherited" the M2L she left behind - volcano gray, black frame, unpainted aluminum wheels. WishwishWISH it had orange frame and wheels...but might try to get things powdercoated a piece at a time. And since it needs tires...   Tbolt_pilot Posted on Sunday, May 29, 2011 - 02:07 pm:        Did orange suddenly become the new black? Everybody has to have it. I hope so. I just got Sunset Orange plastics for the black XB9S you sold me. (see BW pics) Did that S2 ever get built? Last you said, it was bound for B'ville.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, May 30, 2011 - 12:22 am:        Heading on a ride tomorrow. I think. Char (Whatever) is headed up this way sorta, on her way to Homecoming. I'm going to head down to Roanoke by way of the BRP, probably pass her going the opposite direction at some point, hook a U, and ride back up. Anyone bored and wanna come with? My CR needs a run...   Terp_bueller Posted on Monday, May 30, 2011 - 01:52 am:        Tbolt, The bike looks great. Let me know when you have a free Sat/Sun for a ride.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, May 30, 2011 - 10:42 pm:        Well...missed Char, but got in a good 726 miles (according to the GPS) today Here's my turnaround point, MM 80 on the BRP: Nice day for a ride. And DAMN, that bike is a beast!!   Terp_bueller Posted on Monday, May 30, 2011 - 11:54 pm:        Jose, What Ducati model does your girlfriend ride? Was the suspension or seat lowered? A friend's wife is thinking of buying a bike...I think she is about 5'1" - 5"2".   2kx1 Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 05:10 pm:        I think i can get out this Sunday, anyone in?   Bman12r Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 10:13 pm:        Lars, Maybe this Sun. Have you ever been to Coffee and Cars at City Dock, Annapolis on Sunday mornings. I think 0800? Got an E-mail from Clinton Cycle today. They have two Honda 250 factory race-type bikes for sale. Ad says they are street legal models. If I remember right, they were very exotic and rare. They are saying 150 mph un-restricted. Also, a yamaha TW-250? for sale. What is the meet-up time this Sun.?   Bman12r Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 10:24 pm:        Ok, went back and looked at the ad again. There are color pics. Very nice. 2 Honda NSR-250 SP SE models, dry clutch, single-side swingarm, very limited Honda Moto GP type bikes, 5K miles each. Yamaha TZR 250SE, only 3K miles, as close as you can get to a factory Moto GP racer. I have to go check these out tomorrow.   Pellis Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 - 11:55 am:        I'll come out and play on Sunday. When and Where?   2kx1 Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 - 08:04 pm:        Brian, never been to cars and coffee,we should investigate. Would like to get started earlier as I believe it will be hot.   Josequinones Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 - 08:54 pm:        Terp, Linda has a 696, the seat height is pretty low stock and she has no issues riding it. She loves it!   Josequinones Posted on Monday, June 06, 2011 - 08:41 pm:        Less than a month away, anyone interested in riding to Frederick for the http://www.barbarafritchieclassic.com/   Tbolt_pilot Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2011 - 09:39 pm:        I'd be interested in the races for sure. Have to see what the spousal unit might plan and I'll apply for a kitchen pass.   T9r Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 09:52 am:        Welcome Buell to Bob's BMW! in Jessup, MD. Wow I just got the email and emailed them back letting them know about this forum. It will be interested to see how they handle Buell folks.   T9r Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 09:56 am:        Anyone interested in going on a motorcycle ride 15-18Jul2011 to Buchanan, VA and Maggie Valley, NC? A group from Aberdeen, MD is riding down and staying at the Wattstull Inn - Buchanan,VA on 15 and 17 July then the Abbey Inn - Maggie Valley, NC on 16 July. For more information send me a message.   Babired Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 12:10 pm:        This is news just in A friend forwarded this to me it looks like Bob's BMW is going to start servicing Buells. I sent them an e-mail and might stop by this afternoon on my way home. Cut and paste the link http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr =rmmeildab&v=001jZ0SncZoWrOKHCdEla5rhM0g4y8SkvbOXB SfTWdikW2ueywgO0DHkSWsl8RIQe2pU26eljplXSEvOapnYO7r GYlJvF3V4T6Twn8mvRC_50s%3D   T9r Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 - 03:25 pm:        I always thought someone like Bob's needed to be a Buell sponsor dealership. Not to say the HD guys didn't do a fine job at various locations, they just seemed better suited to the BMW crowd. It is still a different beast.   Hooper Posted on Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 08:39 am:        Smart move - and they get to keep the whole "B" theme in their name.   Terp_bueller Posted on Friday, July 15, 2011 - 08:43 pm:        Pellis, I sent you pm. Call me when you have a chance. With VIR canceled, is anyone planning on going to NJMP?   Terp_bueller Posted on Sunday, July 17, 2011 - 10:31 am:        Heading up to summit point to do a track day. A half mile from the track I hit a deer. Luckily I stayed on the bike. Buell 1, deer 0. It's scratched the plastics from the front to the back and broke the clutch lever.   Hooper Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 11:04 am:        Wow! Sounds like a side-swipe? That sucks, but glad to hear it wasn't as bad as it could have been and you stayed on. I hit one a couple years ago head-on. ATGATT (and the way I landed) saved my bacon. Lots of damage to the bike, but I got it back together. Just a few weekends ago it almost happened again: a deer galloped across the road in front of me, missing me by 15-20 feet. It just goes to show that you can be as talented and safe a rider, but there are some things out of your control - all you can do is prepare for the unpredictable. The dudes wearing jeans and t-shirts (especially this weekend) are really gambling on their skin. Public Service Announcement over.   Terp_bueller Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 12:55 pm:        A very hard side swipe. A split second either way could have been much worse. ATGATT!...and some luck.   Puc_it Posted on Monday, July 18, 2011 - 02:30 pm:        ATGATT? Fill me in.   Terp_bueller Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 12:27 am:        All The Gear All The Time.   T9r Posted on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 - 07:32 am:        Had a nice ride down to TN/NC and the Deals Gap area. That place has really grown up since last I was down there. The Buell broke down on me while I was down there. It looks like it might be an internal engine problem, which means removal of the engine from the bike. Here is where I've done so far: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=4062&post=2086871#POST2086871 Anyone have a spare XB12 engine to stick in here for the meantime!? I saw the ebay one in Glen Burnie for an 08/09 Buell.... would it fit into an 04?   Puc_it Posted on Friday, July 22, 2011 - 07:44 am:        The bike starts and idles just fine. Once I touch the throttle even just the slightest it cuts out. The throttle even feels different. It has less resistance to twisting it. Any thoughts?   Chief_sitting_buell Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2011 - 11:43 pm:        You could try pulling the airbox and look down the mushroom and check the throttle body shaft that opens the valve. When mine broke it acted like that a few times . I guess the valve was hung up at that point. After half a dozen starts stopped running altogether. I'm sure there are other causes of the same symptom though. Good luck   Puc_it Posted on Monday, July 25, 2011 - 04:33 pm:        Thanks... that's where I'm gonna start.
