Any road though the Sierras (Sherman Pass Rd thru southern sierras is the best kept secret)

| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I love v-twin torque and the consequent less frequent need to shift gears in the twisties vs. my Z750S.

| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
What's not to like?
|
| Life History/Philosophy: |
Started riding dirt bikes in the 60's when dirt bikes were just street bikes with knobbies and the exhaust pipe up high (you'd think that after 40 years I'd be good at it, but you'd be wrong).

140 indicated on the Z750S (still had 1500 rpm to go)
|
| Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): |
I go to the dealer. (good excuse to look around)
