I just got this email from Ron with United Sport Bike. http://www.rideusba.com/ }Hi Pete, Sorry we haven't gotten back to you sooner. I am a CCS racer plus working at a Harley/Buell Dealership and time just flies by. We do have several members who are Buell riders, myself included. We try to get together whenever we can to ride but times have been busy. There is always a group that meet at the Dairy Queen at Hwy 37 and 144 in Waverly every Sunday morning. They depart at 9AM sharp so don't be late. It'll be the usual 150 to 200 mile day so be prepared to ride hard all day. We also do a Dealership ride from Harley-Davidson/Buell of Bloomington the first Thursday of each month, departing at 6PM. We usually get a good number of Buellers on that ride. Get your friends together and let me know and we will join you for a ride and a free lunch at H-D/Buell of Bloomington. Stay in touch. Thanks "Ride Smart-Ride Safe" Ron@USBA

Hey Indy, I'm with you on wanting to start a Brag chapter somewhere. Bloomington would be the best choice for me for convenience sake. I've spoken with Jeff Stevens on several occasions about sponsering a Brag chapter. He is very interested, just very overloaded with the dealership and their racing schedule. I think he would give us the support we need, he just needs some bodies to come in and make things happen. Oh and from the pics you posted, DAMN, wish I coulda been there! Well anyway should se ya Sat. at the demo.

Is there anyone that can lend me a hand? I'd really like to get my rear wheel off my bike so I can get the tire replaced Friday afternoon if possible. |

I am all for starting a group/club but I can't afford the fee's for B.R.A.G. We mite need to start something. Thats cool about bloomington HD having all those rides, we need to take advantage of it. I up for riding 24/7 so I could make it there to everyone, everytime. How do the demo days work, I only have a permit so am I able to go? |

I checked the fee's for BRAG, Its a lot cheeper than I thought. Its like $40. a year, so I'm all for it. Whats the diffrence between Southside to Bloomington. I think Bloomington is better but Southside is closer. |

Raptor, I think we should shop both of them and see which we think we like better. Ok guys, time to ante up. The demo rides start at 10 AM. What time can you guys be at SSHD? I've also scheduled a 5k service at Bloomington HD/B, but it looks like I wont have the cash for that. I will probably have them look at my front brake though, I think the rotor is bad. |

Hey Indy, what route are you taking to Bloomington? Maybe I could meet you guys in Nashville or Bean Blossom if you come down 135. If not, lemme know what time you think you'll hit Bloomington and I'll try to be there then. Just washed and waxed the ole' M2 today so she's lookin' mighty purdy! he he he!

Glenn, Do you still have you stock exhaust for the X1? I'm trying to find something till I get the money for a new one. I mite get a job at southside so I can get the hook up from there. They called me this morning to have me come in for an app. So thats a good sign. I still dont like them thought, I should hear something soon from the service manager. |

Pete, as it stands now I'll probably head toward Bloomington around 9:30 tomorrow. Have some business to take care of in the a.m. first. Only reason I won't go is if it's pouring rain. Doubt if they have the Demo in a downpour. Who knows?

Well, think fun was had by all at the demo ride in Bloomington. Great to finally meet some of you guys! It was a slight let down that a Uly was not in stock to ride yet, but I did get the chance to ride an XB12Ss (Lightning Long). This is the first XB that felt comfortable to me. At 6" and a 32" inseam, the standard XB's have always put my legs in a cramped position. This is one bike I would definitely buy if I didn't already have the Cyclone. Now I really can't wait to ride a Uly!
