I think I've created a monster. I took this old crappy front pipe for a HD (don't know what he's building, I'm thinking it's a size or two bigger than a sportster) and since he's not using it, bolted it to the Blast. Fits just about perfect, I need to have it bent a little so it doesn't tuck right under the rear brake lever and then fabricate a mount and bolt it to the frame, probably under my right foot. But it's sick! And I doubt ANY Blast has a pipe looking like this...and I lost about 30 pounds taking that fatty muffler off too

Dan, That ROCKS! Cant wait to hear it! Mike and the rest of yuse.... I am headed bak to Phx. Be back tomorrow night. I went over to Boulder Lounge. There was some great stunt bike riding, and I even met another Buelller! He works at American Iron on Boulder highway. He is interested in being part of the group, and I didnt have a card to give him. I gave them all out already. He said we could come by and drop some off, so if I get time next week, I'll do it. Time to go take care of mama...see ya when I get back, Nick |

Nick, Sorry I missed you, we ran into a couple of problems finishing my bike off this afternoon. My brother Pat (rides an S3) and I made it to the lounge at about 5:45, Matt (Bueller from American Iron) said I just missed you. Sorry. It was great to ride the Buell again. I talked to Hiro (works for Henderson H-D rides S1W) he is a good friend of mine and he is very interested in joining the group as well. Josh at Findlay said he would give us 20% (or maybe better) on tires. |

Bring em on Mike! Sorry that I missed you! I watched the stunt show, and the bartender chicks as long as I could, then had to head for Phx. Well hook up some time soon I am sure. Maybe some of the guys would be up for meeting up mid week. I am here most all week now unless they call me to pick up my wife early. I may head back down there Thursday evening. See ya all later, Nick |

Damm alot goes on when you are away from the comp and out of the loop. The more buellers the better in my book. Nick it did Cara some good also. Me being gone all the time. To many work hours. Tell Sammie I said hi and wish her well. I still have my fingers and toes crossed that they will be able to give her some good news. If you need any thing give me a call or ping me. Well I should have a tire on the bike on Wed or Thurs. I hope any way. |

If ya get your tire by Thursday, give me a shout and we'll go for a ride if you want. I want to try a ride to the dam and back some day. And.. Cara can call anytime she likes. Sammie is gonna be out doing the tests almost all day every day this week, so better to call after 5. I know, the life of a working man, no home time at all. I definately hear ya there! Catch ya later, Nick |

Guys, I am planning on doing the dam ride some time Thursday morning. Any takers? Jason and I get off from work around 7am. Anybody up for breakfast somewhere the heading out there? I am leaving for Phx that evening and more than likely wont be back till some time on Sunday or Monday. Any luck on that tire Jake? Mike was offering a pretty good deal at Findlays. Also: I dropped my American Iron today and dropped off some flyers. They are willing to order Buell parts there as well. The guy liked the idea of us doing business with them. ALso, just found out the Techlusion has a facility here with a Dyno and a 100+ horespower Buell! Anyone want to volunteer to stop by there and get them associated with the Brag chapter as well? Later, Nick |

Nick, Still no tire yet. Looking into findly. Have had no time yet. I am now a uncle again. My younger brother is the daddy of a girl. She came into this world yesterday and was 9 pounds and 21 and half inches. Big babby. I am tring this week end on the tire. Have reserves also this week end. Have fun Thursday and a safe trip. |

Great news! Tell him congrats for us! Mike said the guy would give us a good deal on the tires. Let me know what you find out. And.. I so understand the no time! 44 hours in three days. I just got back from an 18 hour day in Denver then had to come right back to work graves tonight. We'll miss you tomorrow! But hey, the dam isn't going anywhere. On a better note: Sammie says that she is feeling much better. The docs there ruled out the Rheumatoid Arthritis as a root of the problems. They did say that she definately had Fibro Myalgia so that explains the pain. I am heading down there tomorrow afternoon and will be bringing her home Friday night or so it looks. Catch ya later and tell Cara we said hello Nick |

Hey, Any of you going to be around Eastern and Sunset today? I made up some cards in color to hand out to potentials. Yes, in color. I made about 40 of them before I ran out of ink. I believe 40 new members would be a great start though. Let me know. You guys have my cell#. |

Nick, I will let him know. That is some good news. At least she is feeling better. Cara says Hi. She is starting to feel a little better. Been under the weather so to speak. Still no tire. I am going to try and get one this weekend if at all possible. Still working like a dog. On top of that I have drill also this weekend. Any way take care and bring Sammie home safe and sound. |

Dan, Sorry. I have now committed to a time; I hope you can make it. We are going to ride through the Valley of Fire tomorrow (Saturday November 6, 2004). This is a causal ride and everyone is welcome (all motorcycles). We are meeting at Findlay Cycles at 11:00am and will leave sometime after. Findlay is on Warm Springs next to Henderson Harley-Davidson and Buell. Contact me if you need directions. Mike (Message edited by buells2t on November 05, 2004) |

I'd love to come but got this little problem called work :P. I'm working tonight and have to work again tomorrow night. If I feel up to it I'll be there but don't count on it. Thanks for helping me out Thursday |

I understand, if you don't make it we will catch you next time. Thanks for keeping me company Thursday; I installed the next bigger main, jet, the next richer needle, and opened up the accelerator pump a little, and now everything, seems much better. Don't work too hard, |

Where to start.... Great ride on Thursday! I almost hit that magical 130 while heading back towards town! It was 125 and some change and the XB was smooth as glass! Brought my wife home last night. She is feeling great! I have orders for today so no ride for me. I am helping her go through the closet and throw out some clothes and helping her try on things she hasnt been able to wear. (She went through a big weight loss down there at Mayo) You guys have fun! I'll catch you some time this week for sure. Brag and the 13th: Last week Dawn said she was still waiting in the "bible" from Brag. That was the hold up. I have plans on going to see her on Monday if anyone else is able to tag along. We need to firm up her exact intentions for us on the 13th. John: Great job on the cards bro! Can't wait to see them. If anyone can, there is a really sharp M2 that parks in front of Sam's town every day. Could you drop a card off there? (I am incapacitated in a good way today and most of tomorrow) Jason: Did your bike break? Catch you all later! Nick |

Nah, the bike's fine. Much better shape than our boss. He found out the hard way that a Super Glide can't run as fast as a V-Rod. |

Dan: Depends on the weather I guess. I was thinking about 10 or 11. If it is raining like it is now, I'll just stick to a phone call Sandblast...come on bro! There is always going to be someone on the group that is ready to go for a ride.! Rich: Welcome! Keep in touch! We are doing a group ride on the 13th to enjoy some good racing. The group isn't all that big right now, but we really just got started. Look forward to meeting you. Nick |
