| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
Bought the bike last spring used, it had 7k on it at the time. Only problems that I have had so far are sediment in the fuel tank, broken shifter lever, and there was squatter living in the frame before I got the bike and it ate through insulation on the main ground wire which allowed the wire to corrode and eventually break.
|

Bike had a low ride seat when I got it, I purchased a standard ride seat within a week.
|
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
From UofM Hospital in Ann Arbor to my home in Howell using West Huron River Drive to Mast Rd (North) to Strawberry Lake Rd (East) to Merril Rd (North) to M36 (West) to Chilson Rd (North) into Howell. I ride it mostly to work. I have my favorite back roads, as long as I dont get behind gramma or a gravel hauler.
|
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I ride a Buell, because it's the perfect bike for what I use it for. Small, quick, very nice for shuttling in and out of traffic. Plus my 70 Electraglide is a gas HOGG!!!
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
The P3 could use a little more accomodation for the taller/larger rider.
