Ride Report: well... still haven't got the ECM figured out, but i was able to run her down the road without being stuck on the side of it. i put my '06 ecm in. that was the only way to get her to go. if i get it hot with that ecm, then swap to the race ecm and do tps, should it take? race muffler will be here wednesday. i'm mucho excito. thank goodness for badweb wisdom. damn this insomnia... |

The Library at GSU? Hmmm...Come to think of it, when I went they did have a building that had a lot of books. However, that building also had a lot of couches. It turned out to be much more conducive to sleeping rather than reading. But do not take advice on higher education from me. With it like many other things in my life I took the long road home. Keep up the good work! And wear a belt when putting on big pants. |

I wouldn't mind having some snow to stand in. It would save me the trouble of refilling this ice pack all the time. |

They allow vegans in West Virginia? Ya might just have to import your own veggie burgers. |

WOOHOO!!!! stock ecm afv runs at 105 with the stock settings, 07 airbox and race can. and she runs like a top. backfires a little when you let off at 5 grand, but that's pretty standard, right? next stop, race ecm. maybe... |

Popping ain't unheard of. You can get rid of some of it with some RTV at the header, muffler inlet joint. The Race ECM is a ripper, if you get one, you'll not regret it. I'd recommend it. Besides, it's all that's missing from your Buell Race Kit. |

Anyone going to Hooters tonight? Also, there's another Bargy track day Sunday. Anyone up for it? I'm probably going to take pictures regardless, but I'd sure love some company and some subjects with awesome bikes. |

Sanchez, I'm out for Tally....anyway the Duc is getting prep'd The Buell is still at the dealer collecting dust. H_ll at that note it collects dust at my house. I barely ever ride the D_mm thing, Seems like when I do ride it breaks down and leaves me on the side of the road. Its really sad I'm going to be sorta scared to ride it...If your bike left you on the side of the road 4 times in less than a year you would too. Once with the trans, and now three times with the regulator/stator. Maybe I'll get Shelley to follow me around. Still waiting for 'ANOTHER' regulator.... I won't even go into that right now. It was nice of Cameron to let me take a dealer bike to Bike Night last week. Thanks again CLOWN.... I remember when my XB9R turn'd 29,800 miles. I was on the Blue Ridge Parkway with Pete, that was the good ol' days. I remember when... Road A' is next week! Your more than welcome to come and hang out and take pics. I'll be there Thurs,Fri,Sat and Sun I'll post my race/pratice schedule over the weekend. |

The folks at "On the Border" at 124 and Webb Ginn house rd are trying to start a Bike Night. They will be having some giveaways, beer and food specials. It goes from 7 to 10. I will be there around 8. Hope to see some of you there. |

> I'm going to be sorta scared to ride it I felt the same way about my M2 for a long time. It stranded me when the wheel bearing went out, then again when the detent plate clip broke on the shift drum. It could've killed me when the cam cover gasket went out and shot oil all over my tire, and one day shortly after I fixed it, I had to ride bitch on the back of my uncle's Harley when a shifter bolt vibrated out. The next weekend, the starter gasket failed. Wait a minute ... why the hell am I considering rebuilding this thing again!? Oh yeah, the tank. If it wasn't for the new tank from Bobby and all the fun I had riding that last day, I'd have just left it in the ditch. Going to those Hooters bike nights helps too. It's just a sea of identical looking rice. The Nugget's next incarnation will really stick out in a crowd. |

Matt, there is a couple of s1 frames on ebay now. you know you need to REBUILD THE MUTANT BIKE!!!LOL tim |

Matt, i would probably buy the yellow wheels from you if you didn't want them. tim |

Tim, I'd probably sell you my yellow wheels if I had any. (They're black.) Seriously though, the front one is all busted up. The back looks ok, but I haven't really checked to make sure it's still round. If it is, and if I go the S1 route, I'll probably use it for another XB wheel conversion. It just wouldn't be a mutant, otherwise. I have my eye on an S1 frame on eBay, but some dummies keep bidding on the damn thing. Don't people realize that bidding on stuff is what drives the price up? Why would anyone ever bid on something 8 days before the auction ends?? I'd buy this bike outright if it was about $2k cheaper: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-BUELL-S1-LIGHT NING-91-DB-YELLOW-BLACK-SO-NICE_W0QQitemZ150133972 197QQihZ005QQcategoryZ49985QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1 QQcmdZViewItem I really want a black frame, but I'll settle for gray. |
