This is what happened last Saturday somewhere on the Blanco river in TX. A local HD dealer cancelled my reserved weekend Ulysses rental due to "technical difficulties(a porter fouled the plugs?)." I still wanted to ride some back roads so I took my trusty S1. My buddy and I decided to stage some gag photos of us riding off road to give the folks in our local Buell group a laugh. What I didn't know was that his camera could also film video. Maybe this is funnier to me than y'all, but I think he caught me looking pretty silly. Good one, Double A Ron. Here is the link , click to view video clip. http://www.filecabi.net/u.php?file=1139963802.mpg |

One more note, there was no damage to the bike, it didn't even stop running. I just picked it back up and walked it out using the throttle, but of course that was not on the video. Here are our not very impressive gag photos.

I can't get to the video here at work. Assuming that it is of reasonable size, could someone e-mail it to me? Thanks. This looks priceless from the gag shots. Josh Davis Cedar Rapids, IA |

In the video I get, there is no bike falling over. I wanna see the bike falling over! |

I thought that was a top secret video of a pre-production Ulysses test mule out for some off-roading. circa late 2004 |

Thanks for the comments fellas. Blake, try loading it again. Most of the time it will show the whole 30 seconds. Every now and then it will only show 22 seconds. The end is embarrassing but funny. Roadthing, aaaaaallright! Is the pond accumulating water? What a cool place, the Ranchito. |

That bike sounds VERY nice. What exhaust does it have? Bob |

I have been running a Force on it since 2001. I love it and it sounds very nasty. It is not heavily modified and made 82 lb/ft. peak torque on the dyno. Only recently in a State Park did I wish it was quieter. -Chadley
