| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I love the riding position, it wheelies like hell, (but uses belts much quicker when you do)!!best turning /handling bike on the road by far.. with the race kit on goes like stink and sounds ace.. !!
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
more comfy seat for long hauls, greater tank capacity, increase top speed to 160 mph..increase leg angle, lower peg or higher seat etc.. reliability still needs working on..
|
| Life History/Philosophy: |
geeez.. been riding most my life.. only one crash.. was last year on this buell of all things.. gravel rash really hurts!! was due to road surface.. am a biker thru and thru.. live to ride .. the freedom is just bliss and the thrill to go with it.. nothing can beat it for . peace freedom, adrenalin, etc.. Ran it in on the day i bought it to john o groats from southampton and all over scotland.. was brill.
