I'm in for "Thunder and Lightning" on May 9th! That is, if we're doing a one-day - up in the early morning, back in the evening. An overnight may not work, but is still possible. |

Does anyone in the club have either of the Buell tank bags (standard or deluxe)? I'm looking for a tank bag and having done what research I can it looks like the Buell bags are the way to go (at least for the tank - I'm looking at the Cortech sport saddlebags for the back). But...I can't decide between the standard or the deluxe. AD Farrow doesn't have any in stock for me to see in person so I can compare and contrast between them before I buy one. If anyone has either or both so I can see their sizes and how they would look and fit on a Lightning that would be great. Thanks! |

DOH!! I suppose I should have spoke up sooner when I first started looking at them. What was your experience with both the Buell and the Cortech saddlebags? Did you like them? How about you Mark? I guess my biggest question on which Buell tank bag to get is whether the standard is big enough to hold my wind/rain jacket liner, an extra visor, my iPod, and a softball glove. If the standard won't hold all that, then I assume given the dimensions that the deluxe will, but...I'm concerned about the "look" of the bigger bag. Thoughts/suggestions? |

From my house its 180 miles. We would need to stop for gas around 100 to 120 miles into the ride. That is if everyone has a full tank when we leave. Lets say kickstands up at 0630 at the Flying J across from North Star. Come early if you need to eat and fill up with gas there so we are all on the same page when we start. |

Works for me! 0630 at Flying J @ NorthStar. In the interest of full disclosure, while I have a little over 2,000 miles under me in the past 9 months, I haven't ridden over 40 miles at any one time - nor in a group of any larger then 4 people (not counting the short ride from Mellow Mushroom to Quaker Steak). So I'm a total newbie on a 360 mile round trip. This will be a new experience for me - one I'm definitely looking forward to! btw - would I be showing too much newbieness or geekness to ask where best to read about group hand signals?

The ride there is all freeway, I'm sure the ride they are putting on will be nice and easy. Dealers don't like for their guest to get hurt so they tend to keep the riding simple. I will keep the speed going there to around 70 or less.... we don't need any performance awards |
