I had my Xb12Stt out for what my be the last ride of the year today. The 30s are just a little to cold for me...with snow to boot! But I was on the back roads and started down the dirt roads having a blast! Running about 50 just bombing along . It was so fun that I ended up doing about 40 miles mostly on dirt! I did find out just how well the Pirelli Sync are. I grabbed a big handful of throttle to see how she'd roost and was I surprised when the front end popped right up and skied on me! For a "Street" looking tire it hooked up real well on the hard pack. I did find a bit of single track to try and while she'll do it it really a bit of a pain when it gets tight. I'd also hate to spend the winter fixing a bent bike from slamming a tree! The more I ride My Buell the more I like it AND the more I find I can do with it. Now I need to find a way to put some hard bags on it and I'll try a nice trip in the spring! Birdy |

looking to see her at pikes peak mt run next year. That girl can ride, I am jealous of that pink fluffy CityX . Bike will be down for a bit to move the exhaust up out from under to give me more ground clearance so I can single track her a lil better. Pics will be posted when done. Dirt Squirting, mud slingin, puddle splashing fun, welcome to winter in the seattle area ! |

Just watch the exhaust for the big chunky stuff, the out cropping roots, tall high centered crests, off camber hills, aggressive single track and the abhorrent speed bump. ;) |
