Personal Quote: | If ya haven't screwed it up yet, then you are just not trying hard enough... |
Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | S&M 2 |
Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | I dunno, it is not registered yet |
Color: | Paint! Paint! I don't need no stinking paint! |
V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
Servicing Dealership: | It is scratch built by me, so I cannot whine about how the factory failed me or a “stealership” (as you guys affectionately call it) effed it up. I guess I have to fix it myself; that is if it actually breaks! |
Performance Mods!: | Fram oil filter (the cheap orange one) and a sixteen nipple spooge tank necessary for the total loss oiling system. Carb is an El Paso refried bean can with a restrictor plate in conjunction with a Dunderjet kit, and an inverted velocity stack. Since this setup does not have an accelerator pump, I did not have to disable it. That saved me the time of studying & debating the logic applied to the BAD WEB idea on the topic of disabling the accelerator pump if you had one. A GPS so I know where I am going and a rear view camera feeding a dash monitor so I can see where I have been. It is right next to my clock so I can track my looming curfew and find my way home in time. |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | Nothing a certified douche bag couldn’t avoid or fix!!!! The top speed on 2 wheels category was too limited for my story....So, since I don’t have a litany of problems to list, I thought to elaborate here: I was too scared to look at my speedo since I do not have a digital read out...My speedo is analog and I am not sure how to read the dial at a glance without a digistick. I do know the tach needle must have been buried (can’t read that at a glance either), because my rev limiter which is set at 11,500 rpm was causing my ignition to stuttering a lot at the time. I then realized my terror was so significant that I forgot to shift, so I popped it into third and TURTLED it! The gauges were smashed, but the NEEDLES did not stick at their last READING when they were smashed like everyone SEZ they do! I guess we will never know if I was going 65 or 75mph when I did the face plant. |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Nothing special; just the same old crap all the sheeple do! Oh, except for I made my own header. I could never keep all that over-the-tube-header on the under-the-tube-frames and viscy-vercy straight. Especially when you throw in the "bung or no bung" equation. At any rate, my header became bungless when I realized I did not need an O2 sensor with the non-accelerator pump refried bean can induction system. The low pressure area created by the inverted velocity stack and culvert sized bean can throat helps a lot. Just roll the throttle on slowly and you will eventually get up to speed without the hiccup. |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Sitting on my bike in the shop watching TV. |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | I Don’t right now because I am too busy trying to fix bikes to ride much; I use every bad web idea published and they never work right, I just don’t get it. It is either too cold or hot 345 days a year anyway! Besides, I would rather be in a climate controlled environment tethered to my keyboard, sooo many people are apparently relying on me for advice and entertainment on WWW. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | Since Buell does not exist like Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Saturn, they can't improve; they can only get worse as the urban legends and wives tales get more interesting (to some) than reality. It is ironic that I have a Pontiac too! Thankfully they do not suffer the same plight as tube frame and XB Buell’s, because everyone knows they have a common drivetrain with other General Motors products that are not problematic!!!! |
Life History/Philosophy: | Don’t hate me because I have a laptop, not afraid to use it, and bright also! When your panties are in a wad, just reach up there and pull them out; it happens to all of us! Well, maybe just the ones that wear panties! |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | See Problems/Miles above.... |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | The really, really, slippery shit; It drains out of the SPOOGE tank faster! |
