| Personal Quote: | Not my words, but stated with greater brevity and clarity than I could manage: "Life's too short to live in caution. Life's too long not to live at all," (from Van Zant's "Takin' Up Space,") "Don't Blink," by Kenny Chesney, has a lot of wisdom in it too. |
| Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | XB12X |
| Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | 2009 |
| Color: | Loctite Blue |
| V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
| Servicing Dealership: | I'm better off doing it myself. Not bragging, but at least I know the limits of my ineptitude. |
| Performance Mods!: | Strong black coffee. |
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | Rear wheel bearing failure. 7,600 miles, Summer of 2013. Finally had the time to install a 2010-spec 3-bearing rear wheel in Summer of 2015. It's good to be back on a Buell! |
| Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Rider Comfort Shroud Kit Tall windscreen Cortech soft saddlebags sometimes |
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Almost any VA or WVa two-lane road. |
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Learned of Buells in the early 1990s; wanted one but couldn't afford it until later in life. The Uly is simple, has more than enough power to get in trouble with the law, fits me and handles great. I'm a believer. |
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | In the next stage, when/wherever that happens, a middleweight (650-750cc) with entry-level seat height (for my wife, and a lot of other people) sportbike. Something to compete with the CB500F, FZ-07, FZ-09 and similar models. |
| Life History/Philosophy: | Ride while you can. Better to wear out than to rust out. |
| Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | I can't recall, officer. |
| Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Syn 3 for the Uly, so far. Motul Synthetic for the metric bikes. |
