Almost ready, rooms booked, XB with new front Q2, brake pads, oil changed. New 5-0dro axle and case sliders. Only other possible change, should I buy the EBR ecm or have my race ecm dyno tuned locally. Getting a lot of pinging/detonation when hot. And its hot a lot in Tucson. |

I'd start with the EBR ecu. Then if you want even more out of it get the EBR find tuned on the dyno. |

American Sport Bike Night celebrates 15 years, December 2nd. December 2nd, 2013, American Sport Bike Night (ASBN) will celebrate its 15th year Anniversary. 15 years ago, 3 Buell Enthusiasts, traveling back from Las Vegas in a bread Truck, thought that the Bay area should have a meeting place for people who love the Buell Motorcycle. Since that time, ASBN has never missed a first of the Month meeting. Many noted celebrities have attended our meetings over the years. Erik Buell, Craig Vetter, Joe Leonard, Mert Lawwill, and others to name a few. We are a group of Motorcycle Enthusiasts that love our Buell Motorcycles. We meet the first Monday of each Month in San Leandro, California, swapping stories, exchanging Tech tips, keeping up with what happening in the world of Motorcycles, engaging in Buellish Bahavior. We are not a club. There are no membership dues or meeting fees. Each month is a themed event, and we have several Destination rides over the year. We meet at Dick’s Restaurant. 3188 Alvarado Street San Leandro, Ca. 94577 6:30 pm, the first Monday of each Month. You can get in touch with us at these sites. Our website is Americansportbikenight.com We are also on yahoo groups. American Sport Bike Night.

Good meet up. 5 buellers showed up, Rex brought his old rss1200 and mark his tuber. Bill and I on out 1125's and Wayne trucked it out since his bike is apart for repair. Mark let me take a spin around the block on his tuber... Very cool bike. The chases diner was closed up for flooring upgrades so we moved across the parking lot to the Galagars, service and food was good over there! |

From Dave, regarding Southwest Buell Rally: -------------------------------------------- Hello All, my computer has been giving me fits, so I`m trying this old way,,,( this is the 3rd time I`m writing this) PLEASE pass this around as this is an old list- I`m sure there are some people NOT ON THIS LIST. Here`s the basic plan, We`ll meet up at Rocky Mtn HD/Buell at about 8:00am, full of fuel and kickstands up at 8:30. We`ll then head south on Hwy 285 toward Fairplay for a gas stop/break. from there we`ll head to Salida for lunch and meet up with Jeff and a new guy from the Springs. ( my apologies- I can`t remember the new dudes name - hope to buy him a beer in Pagosa After lunch and gas up, we`ll again head south on Hwy 285 to Center CO, were we`ll turn west on Hwy 112. We`ll head west on Hwy 112 to Del Norte where we`ll again turn west onto Hwy 160 and head west to South Fork CO. At SouthFork we`ll gas up again and then it`s over Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa Springs- watch for that pesky trooper on the pass- The Resort is on the Southside of the road as we enter Pagosa Springs. Plans for Fri night- a good soak-dinner-story telling- Pretty demanding schedule , really,, Plans for Saturday, sneak in a good soak- head out at about 10:00ish, here`s why- We need to meet Nick and his wife in Chama NM for lunch, should be a easy ride. After lunch, we`ll ride out to Hwy 64 and onto Taos NM. We`ll take a break/photo op at the Taos Gorge Bridge, always a neat place for a break,, Sat night plans - more relaxing - dinner - story telling - good times with good people - this shit never gets old,, Plans for Sunday, Pretty much head for home, we`ll probably head up NM 522 to Fort Garland Co,, then make a decision to either go back up 285 or go east- over La Veta Pass and a east side run up to Denver. We`ll decide when we get there. That`s all I got,, remember pass this around so we can let everyone interested know,, Thanks! Ride Safe My Friends, Dave |

Looking forward to SW Buell rally this weekend. I plan on leaving Tucson between 06-0700. Bike is almost ready, beadrider on the seat, seems to make a real difference in the heat/ventilation, we will see about comfort. Waiting on the EBR ECM then TPS reset and away we go. See you this weekend! |

Oh yeah I miss AZ. There is no good roads for sport riding over here. Everything is just straight. Plus it was nice meeting every month with some Buell guys. Other tan that everything going good. I like where I'm working, my service manager is cool and the guys are helpful when I have questions. They know I like Buells so when they come in they give them to me to work on. And we have a Blast fleet for Riders Edge, the HD msf course, that I take care of so every week there's a class I'm getting the Blasts ready to be wrecked. |

SOUTHWEST BUELL RALLY RIDE REPORT I will post this in the AZ and NM areas also. This is my personal ride report, I left Tucson Friday morning around 0700. I got to Globe for coffee, gas and a honey bun. While there I ran into several GSXR, Ninja and BMW K riders in full gear going to Salt river canyon. I left before them and they past me as I stooped to take a picture. I rode through Pinetop and after a wrong turn went through to Holbrook. The wrong turn cost me about an hour. Just missed rain in Holbrook and decided to go into Gallup for late lunch. I left Gallup and headed up to Farmington on 491, turned right on BIA-5 over to 371 up to Farmington, bypassing Shiprock. Then the 516 to 550 north into Colorado. The 160 over to Pagosa Springs. All told over 600 miles and about 12 hours. It is really amazing to see the change in geography from New Mexico into Colorado, very dramatic. I was the last to arrive and a thank you to all who waited at Tequilas for me and ate late. In Pagosa, Jody, Doug and I stayed at a cabin at the San Juan Motel. We checked in after dinner, walked to the liquor store for beer and sat on the porch smoking cigars and telling lies, watching it rain off and on as well as watching to moon peek out of the clouds. A very relaxing evening. The next day, after breakfast, we all met up and rode to Chama for lunch. At Chama we were met by Nick, a few of us went to ride the curvy part of 17 but Jody and I turned back early as they were in the process of chip sealing the road and there was loose gravel all over the road. After lunch we headed out on 64 through the mountains. I left my kickstand down, no sidestand switch evidently, and when I tried to take the first left had sweeper at about 70-80 got my "oh shit"! moment as the stand levered my rear wheel off the pavement. Nick had tried to tell me but I misunderstood his hand signal as "pass me". The rest of the ride went well, Jody and I were riding together when we rode into a sudden rain storm. I was as if a rolling wall of water was coming right at us, with wind whipped water flying across the road. We slowed down but kept going as we were already wet and Jody forgot his rain gear anyway. We got to the 285 intersection fairly dry and waited for the rest to arrive. Jim showed up and said that Doug had mechanical issues after the rain, just sputtered and died, fuel pump? Any way, the rest of the group rode into Taos, then someone drove Doug's Explorer back to his bike, luckily he had transported his xb to Taos on Friday then rode the rest of the way to Pagosa. They arrived for dinner at about 1900. We were staying at the Sagebrush, others at the Comfort Inn next door. Another night in the patio at the Sagebrush, same song, second verse. Cigars, beer and stories. I was nodding off around 2300 and headed to bed. Sunday was breakfast at the Sagebrush then gather everyone up to leave for home around 0900. I got on the road around 0930 and ran I25 to Hatch over to I10 to Tucson. Another 600+ mile day. Only rain in one place around an hour from home. I had a great time with all as usual and hope to see everyone in May at the 10th anniversary of Springfast! The participants this year; Dave and Denise on a S3T, Bob and Diane on a 1125CR, Ken and Cheryl on his XR1200 with trailer for the dogs, her on a CB1100. Nick on his 1125R, Jody on his 1125CR, Doug on his XB12R, mechanical DNF, Jim on his ULY, all the way from Nebraska! Me on my XB12Scg. I hope I didn't get any of the names wrong, forgive my memory lapse. Pix to follow if I can figure out how to fit them. |

I have 2 shops I like for paint work on the BMW's. John at Red Mountain collision is my favorite and George at Southwest Collision is a close second. I can get you phone numbers tomorrow when I'm back in the shop or you can just look them up online. |

Cool offer from Mark for this months Buell meet up: O.k. so we have talked some about having the first Monday meeting at our respective houses. I am offering it at my house with a twist , I am offering up my lift and we can schedule whoever would like to have their bike worked on I.E. oil change or whatever on my lift. We can order in food and we can do whatever you guys want on your bikes. Collectively we should be able to do just about anything. I have most tools but not everything. We can decide at our Monday meeting or if someone has work let's just do it. My address is 304 west Straford Drive Chandler 85225. About a mile and a half from Chases Diner. Let me know what u think.
