| Personal Quote: | Buells are what H-D builds when they build motorcycles rather than agricultural equipment. |
| Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | Buell Thunderbold S3T |
| Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | 2002 |

| V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
| Servicing Dealership: | I don't really trust anyone but I have gone to Surdyke in Festus MO more than once. |
| Performance Mods!: | |
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | |
| Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Rerouted breathers directly to atmosphere bypassing the air filter. Put a Zero Gravity Sports Touring windscreen on it. A good move. |
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Around Greers Ferry lake to Shirley then to Mtn. View via 9, then thru Guion via 14 and 58 thru Sidney and then 167 thru Batesville and back to Heber. |
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | It is an engineer's motorcycle. If you understand the problems you can appreciate the weird things they did to solve them. Not the cheapest way, or the normal way, but there is a reason to the weirdness. |
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | A means of lubricating the swinging arm without taking the whole motorcycle apart. |
| Life History/Philosophy: | I had my first two crashes on H-D products in the mid '50s. Fortunately I have learned how to avoid crashing since then, and now that I am approaching geezerdom I realize the miles left to me are limited and don't want to stop like I started -- crashing. |
| Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | |
| Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | |
