>I could have been a total ass
Who says you weren't? 
How's the neighbors anyway? I'm thinking we need a PhillyBlastCam on the web.
>I just enjoy it so much that it doesn't seem right to take someone's money at the same time!
I can't believe you still aren't charging for that, if nothing else to make up for wear and tear on your drill and punch, knocking holes in people's mufflers.

Speaking of neighbors, Josh, I can't imagine yours are too happy with that newly loud S1. |

The pipe is from the newly quiet S3 so they were already not too happy.
But, I pulled the loud pipe from the S3 at the hotel so I could dyno the 2 pipes on the S1 (charts on the dyno page). I didn't bother to put the Supertrapp on the S3 before I went home.
So there I was, 2am Monday morning firing up the muffler-less S3 so I could ride it up the driveway into the garage. Catch was the FI wasn't ready for 300ft vs the 5500ft it had adjusted for so it took a while to get running and keep running.
Damn those things are loud with no muffler. Esp at 2am in a residential area. |

Quote:Rocket, I just have a "thing" about working on my bikes, and doing it myself.
Ok...I just spewed milk out my nose! That's a statement akin to calling Erik Buell "a bit animated to work with" 
Frankly, it took me a while to learn that it WASN'T personal but ALL the very talented folks I know, be it on Wall Street or at Buell, have the capacity to become somewhat....er "testy". The thin skinned have no place in this crowd.
I can name 42 times that I'd bet Mr. Buell was ready to KILL me and stuff my shorts in my own mouth to shut me up. Common among the lot of these folks is the ability to attack the problem not the person. It's the gift of giftedness.
HINT: I'm an ex-USMC, been through a lot sort of a fellow and I'd rather walk through land mines that come up behind Aaron and say "here, let me show you how to do that".
am I a total pundit today? Can you tell I'm in the writing mode? Would you want your children reading books (i.e. "Matt & Moe Miller from Monett, MO) written by this kind of person???? |

Aaron mate you're kidding me, right ? Believe me, I try my damnedest to overlook yours! Now that is an understatement if ever I heard one !!! Jeez Aaron, you should know me better than that, I'm the fungi to be with
So let me get this right, Josh and David aren't sleeping together  shit there goes that theory........
By hell Court, when Brad Green showed up it was difficult to get a word in edge ways. You know, it's like when you meet people from time to time, the stuff they fill your head with is just amazing, fascinating, a pleasure to listen to. So when you get a hold on that persons personality, then it's hard to pull yourself away from them because it's entertainment at its best. He would be a hard act to follow for anyone......................then you showed up !
First time I saw you was when I returned from a three hour ride on Doug's Busa, and there was Paul shouting from above "Court there's a phone call for you. It's the Sheriffs Department ", and I 'd not even took my bloody lid off. And there was you, pretty much like you are on here, straight into 'character' just like the greatest actor, and the Buell shit starts flying, and every time your mouth opens it's an oscar winning performance. You really can walk the walk and talk the talk. However, your psychotic behaviour for things Buell is placing you in serious danger of becoming what is know over here as an 'anorak'.
And Aaron, thanks for the target practice. I enjoyed it, and your company, and don't worry, my ears have stopped ringing X
Hey Bob, just for you I'll do that, but I'm not with the pic right now. Hell she was a looker wasn't she. I'll share but you'll have to wait a little .

Hey Sean (I'm there, whether you like it or not!):
I was gettin' ready to email you the picture of the little piss-pot boat, but... you have no email address. I even tried Rocketman@TVR.Yorkshire, but that bounced back??? (You need to get hold of one of those satellite deals like Aaron has. Seems to me that would be just the ticket for a homeless guy ) Guess I’m going to have to resort to the public address system:
Since this picture was taken, she has been knocked off her stilts by a typhoon, and propped back up again with a crane. No apparent damage. Salty, ain’t she?

Rocket: I'll submit myself to the ultimate test. He DID or DID NOT get a ticket?
Results Mate....RESULTS.
I'm used to making things happen....it was a minor shift in technique to KEEP something from happening! Course, after looking at Grizzly, I'm surprised he's not quartered in Gitmo Bay at present!
It was fabulous, and I say again, the PINNACLE of Buell events...at least for the last 15 years.

P.S. - for the record: I did not speak one untrue word. He IS a Law Enforcement Officer. He WAS an Honored Guest in the United States. And I HAD flown into Colorado from New York City that day to meet him. And, I did NOT ask them to let him go, I simply suggested that any professional courtesy and consideration extended, I'd be eager to reciprocate As long as the Larmier County Sheriff stays clear of the South Bronx, I'm safe |

Rocket,
You think that target practice was fun? It was nothin' compared to watching you pick up that pistol. Pretty obvious where the right hand went, but when you wrapped your left hand around the cylinder and barrel, as if it were a rifle, I knew the real fun was about to begin.
But then some spoil-sport started hollaring, "No, no, the left hand goes under the right hand."
Damn!
Man, that would have been a great practice run for the little jig you should have done in your Tu tu. |

Capt Pete, if you'd have said 'Robert Shaw' I'd have known roughly what you meant, hehe. That's a fine looking fishing boat and I'd sail in her. Great luck in the South China Seas. Which reminds me, must change profile again. I was in a foul mood when I wrote that one up. Glad you pointed it out to me Cap'n sir !
See Court, that's just what I meant, 'talk the talk and walk the walk'. No Buell shit on you my friend, you really do tell it like it is. Erik must value you as one of his greatest assets

I notice you didn't touch the serial killer comment - ever seen the movie "Hitcher"?
I'll try to get on the web cam thing soon - hmmm, maybe some custom framed artwork as a housewarming gift? |

Yep;
He was Dutch, which is why Josh wouldn't give Grizz a ride. -and the local constabulary would, if it wasn't for Court-
Nah..., He probably was too busy anyway, being all over Capt. Pete's former ex-girlfriend. (of 19 or 24 years)
You WERE overdoing it a little, indeed, Grizz... -and that's from a fellow-countryman-
Thanks for the advice on the keeping of my belongings again, Cap.!

>>>>'Erik must value you as one of his greatest assets'
That pendulum swings from asset to ass depending on the situation, how polarized our opinion are and whether or not my "shoot mouth off" and "gather facts" are in phase.......
I've had well deserved excursions to both extremes and, saved only by passion, have begged for and recieved forgiveness.
My goal is to acquire Dave Gess' (you still have to meet the "Best of the Best in the World of Buell" my friend, wisdom and restraint.

Brownstripe,
'which is why Josh wouldn't give Grizz a ride' ????
I didn't ask him...thats something I will never do, I'll rent the machine that I want to ride.
'You WERE overdoing it a little, indeed, Grizz... -and that's from a fellow-countryman'
I hope you meant this as a joke, if not..
Then alas...you being a fellow-countryman proves that this country is not completely civilized. If there where to much guys like that I would probably immigrate.

Concerning the ride; I meant with Josh. Seen as the "former girlfriend" wasn't up to Your standards...

Well Cap,
I guess the deal for next Year is on... Probably down to a little too many differences on views of life, the girl and I broke up.
Yet not after I made damn sure I had the x1 at my place...
And I even got to pick up my belongings unscathed!
