Author Message   Along4theride Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 06:00 pm:        Hey I am soooo proud of myself and I had to share it with people that would understand. People that don't ride would never understand the sense of accomplishment I feel. I took my daughter for her first ride on my bike this evening. WHoohooo. She was a little rough at first hitting my helmet every time I shifted but she got the hang of it and by the time we were headed home she did GREAT!!!!!! Torquer- Last week we were there kind of early and as long as we took a table up on the 'deck' they didn't care. Besides you guys will be there soon enough.   New12r Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 06:00 pm:        I am going to the grocery store in a min. and Sam is giving me the thumbs down, been working all day and I cant go out to play. Sorry.   Torqer Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 06:06 pm:        A4TR: cool... See you there.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 06:06 pm:        Oh well guess I'll head out then.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 06:07 pm:        Kitchen pass is what New12r couldn't get.   Torqer Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 07:45 pm:        A4TR: I don't know what happened... I didn't intend to puke on you ...Sorry.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, August 03, 2004 - 08:38 pm:          Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 07:58 am:        Ok...put those new Ducatti bars on the bike last night to see how they looked. It has about an inch less rise but the biggest difference is the pullback. The bars are almost straight with no pullback. I really like that. The only problem is that the space at the bottom of the bars where it clamps in to the triple tree is slightly too narrow. The clamp will hold them tight but there is a 1/4" gap between the top clamp and bottom. Would this be a problem if I decided to use them? Also, they are 2" wider and I wanted to cut them off to match the stock 27" width. Some thoughts please.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 08:25 am:        They may be OK. Try sitting on the bike, and put some good force on them. Pulling back and pushing forward, hard. If they don't move they should be OK. As far as length, give a good try before you cut them. Mine are 2inches longer than stock, I was going to cut them but put it off. I'll not cut them, I'm glad I put it off. The extra leverage really helps flick the bike around in the tight stuff, and when playing around in parking lots, helps with low speed maneuvers also.   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 08:41 am:        I second that. Rizoma offers a bunch o f'n' cool bars if you decide you don't like the clamp being open like that. An additional thought is: The more surface contact between the bars and the clamp the better.   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 08:47 am:        Thanks Glitch...knew I could count on you for your insightful guidance. The big reason I want to use those bars is that they accomplish what I want and most of all they are FREE! How late is Cycle Gear open on weekdays? Glitch.... maybe you can assist me on the conversion after I get some new grips and then we can ride over to my lab and show you my lamination set-up? Deal?   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 08:52 am:        Rizoma, after ya'll get in with them I'll gain HP by losing weight ... in the wallet!   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 08:55 am:        How late is Cycle Gear open on weekdays? 7:00 I think, that's what time they closed last night. Deal? Deal!, only I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow and won't be back til Sunday night. So, any day after that'll fine.   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 08:57 am:        I think these are Rizoma bars. They look like the pics and if you look in the end of the bar it is thick. The inside diameter is smaller than the stock and it has a billet bar end. I will have to modify the 3rd eye to make it fit in the hole. Wait..that sound pretty sexually explicit.   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 09:07 am:        Fit in the hole.   Silverbullet Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 09:34 am:        You guys are bad!!!   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 09:49 am:        Silvermullet: Hope you had a good weekend and beginning. Are you going to make it to the meeting at the Vortex this Thursday to discuss the potential happenings at our Sport-Enthusiast's Day? I'm sure I'll get over the Silvermullet thing here in a minute. It just strikes me funny. .Current tentative date Sept 25th   Lightnindave Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 10:01 am:        This would be my first post on bad web. Pete suggested that I post to let everyone know that I am out here. I hope to meet some more Buell riders on Thursday at the Vortex.   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 10:11 am:        Our last organizational meeting.   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 10:15 am:        Lightnindave: Welcome Lightnin! Do you want to try to meet at the dealership or the Vortex. I like to roll in with a group, it makes for a stronger presence. But, if it out of your way, feel no pressure. We'll be glad to see you wherever you arrive.   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 10:30 am:        Are you Coming this Thursday? I believe you have the most BRAG event experience.   Lightnindave Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 10:45 am:        Torqer: I'm already downtown but I'll ride out to the dealership to do the group thang.   Torqer Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 10:58 am:        Lightnin' : Only if you'd like ... no pressure. I'm lookin' forward to getting this thing organized... It is going to be great event. We have a great team of people. Our last event went over with no glitches... so to speak.   Silverbullet Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 11:16 am:        Torqer: Plan on meeting at h.d. BUELL around 6:15.I would like to leave in a group as well and show up at the tex with some AUTHORITY! "BUELL STYLE" SILVERMULLET? how dare you call a balding man the mullet.That hurts my feelings, makes me want to cry Grown men have feelings to you know.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 11:18 am:        Our last organizational meeting. Looks like Rebecca smells something Lightnindave, you work at CNN? The 25th? Runnin' th' Ridge's last day is the 24th.   S2pengy Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 11:39 am:        I hope to be there on Thursday.. If I can make it I will go directly to the Vortex..... Little Five RIGHT?????   Silverbullet Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 11:50 am:        RIGHT????, quite right, your'e bloody well right.   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 12:22 pm:        You've got a bloody right to say! I was just handed the tape of the show at Marrietta Dodge. Looks OK, probably would have been better, but they didn't give the guys a lot of running room.   Along4theride Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 12:42 pm:        I just want to say that I think you guys are a great bunch of guys. -even if Pete does 'accidently' puke on me. Compared to the irresponsible, beer drinking, redneck, loud mouthed, unsafe, squid riding guys I saw last night and I see on the street quite often I'm glad I met you all first and learned the safe riding habits that you guys promote through example. Thanks, it's harder to break bad habits then just learn good ones from the get go.   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2004 - 01:10 pm:        A4TR.....ohhh, your givin' me some warm fuzzies all over.
