Man, 60 degrees in Philly too. Great Buell day. I had to duck out of the office early. My new Odie muffler, TFI, and K&N sound and run so f-ing good! I can feel each combustion pulse in my chest. The bike now feels like it came from Milwaukee. |

Carlos, I agree totally, I'm in break-in also, but sweet bikes so far. I have about 180 miles on my xb12r. The weather has been good. I am down the shore in Point Pleasant seems like a lot of riders in the area. We will have to plan some rides over the summer. Maybe we can even meet the legend of "Court" he is in the city so that's within range. Congrats on the bike and keep it below 3000 |

Woodbridge, NJ area here. The last two days have been great for riding but I get to spend my days working on everyone elses bikes in a local Harley dealership. The good thing is I get to waste everyone elses gas on the test rides after the work is done. |

Wow, more people from my area than I thought. I am the lead tech at Liberty HD/Buell in Rahway. The name is Phil. You guys should stop in and say hi sometime. We are also starting a BRAG chapter this summer. |

Lucky Bastards, I've been stuck at work these past 2 days and haven't had the time to get out and ride. Now it looks like were going to get hit with some bad weather this weekend just as all this rain washed away the salt from the roads. A few others and myself started a BRAG chapter at William's H-D/Buell called Hunterdon Thunder. I'm the director of the chapter and were looking for a few more people to join. Were planning a few rides through out the year and trying to get a track day at Pocono raceway. So far both of our meetings had decent weather and we rode afterwords in Jan. and Feb. Brian's H-D/ Buell is also looking to start a chapter, so if they do maybe we can get all the local groups together and hit some back roads up here in NJ and in PA. |

court- are you shacked in woodbridge? i was once given keys to glenrock liquor, they called me night manager and paid me to perform unspeakable acts. also sold a lot of booze. we looked at a nice studioapt in woodbridge, almost settled, but had to make a run to key west, got married in maryland on the way down, had to stop and buy a chevy 350 engine for 75 bucks, build a tripod, deploy a come-along, make a few adjustments, then detoured through bakersfield, had a monster wedding reception/house demolition party and associated debauchery in corvallis,OR next thing i knew we were crossing the border near Tok, Alaska. still had a full case of Tanqueray on board, a 55 gallon drum of hi test, and 1200 bucks left. |

I almost bought my Bike from you guys, except the salesman didnt know what he was talking about and it took someone almost 1 hour to even acknowledge us. Whats going on over there man? There's like no Buell merchandise in the store? I went to BUY a hat (cause the young kid at the parts counter didnt wanna hooke me up w/the free one) and all i saw was a lonely rack on the wall with 3 shirts |

Yeah, I know. I have bitched to the owner and he is working on it. I'm surprised about the salesman, the sales manager is a huge buell fan and owns 2. He knows just about everything about their entire history. In any case, I would be glad to do the service on your bike and get to meet another area rider. I just finished breaking in my XB9SX.....LOVE IT. We also have a couple of X1 race bikes in the shop you can check out. |

All you Jersey boys. Wow. I grew up in Rutherford. Lived in Freehold and Robbinsville. Was an MC tech at Freehold Cycle Sales and Cooper's Cycle Ranch. Have a sister in Pt. Pleasant. Was there on vaca last August. Now I'm 20yrs. in So. Cal. Some of the best twisties in the world with riding all year round. You guys need to ride to New Hope, PA and jam up & down along the Delaware River. I spent many a weekend riding those roads. Lots-O-Fun! |

Brian's H-D/Buell sent me a letter about starting a BRAG chapter. I couldn't make it to the meeting, but from what I've been told, they are doing an informal club, with rides starting at the dealership on weekends, etc. |

I'm a new Bueller also. I bought my 04 XB9S on Jan. 6th. I now have 1376 miles on it and have loved every single one. Just finished the MSF basic riders course today also. I'm in the military so I got 3 days off to ride my bike! I LOVE IT.

http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm A new idea on break in periods. N E way, I'm in the New Orleans area and its about 65 and sunny here. Been on my bike every day this week to work and went to bike night last night. HAHA, sooo many people come and ask me "what is that?, Is it fast?, is it British?, where is the muffler?" |
