Spike great write-up.I did the same thing a year ago and m2nc and I called it "Got bit by the Uly Bug" I was in the position to trade ,and once I found that out I just couldn't hold on to the Harley. There are some days I would like to have it back,but once I'm in the saddle on the Uly that too quickly fades.I will own it again or another like it one day and the prices unfortunately are falling each year. I didn't fit the Harley crowd any way.Bad-Web and I fit,It's family(home). At least you have a mutual friend that was willing to part with the wheelie beast to give you the ultimate test ride adventure.I call it perfect timing. Sorry you got bit.There is no cure. Oh yea I have a Blast that we can trade the Firebolt for.I would love to read that Write-up. Just kidding. Later all, Webe Anyone going to Rockymount toy ride tomorrow? |

Partied with my wife and watched Ghostrider last night. Good times! Getting ready to put on the heated gear and meet some riders at the Ellerbee Inn for some grub and a ride. It's 28 degrees at the house now .... I hope they have HOT coffee! I look forward to seeing those from C3 that can make it at the BBQ/pub crawl next Sat. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27 5597 |

FYI - I just moved threads into the New to NC and Dated Thread folder to clean up the main page. If there is something you can not find or need it moved back }let me know. Also check out the Adventure folder. Adventures were organized by year. |

If you haven't RSVP'd for Jim's Show & Tell this Sunday and plan on attending, please post and let us know. Mike needs to give a head count to Ray Price to be prepared for food and drinks. Mike hopes to have a few door prizes and any who attend will be given a coupon for 15% discount on motorclothes. Anyone who has their own Buell Story to share, bring it on! I'm thinking Spike's Uly vs. Firebolt review should be an interesting conversation! |

It is, but every other day threaten to replace it with a Ulysses. Apparently I just need the income to support two bikes, then I'd be set. |

Dear Nance, Re: Regarding Late Mr. P.B.Nance, I am Barrister Mathew Kukah, a barrister & solicitor at law. I was the Personal attorney to Mr. P.B.Nance, a national of your country, who used to own an oil servicing company in Lome Togo. My late client and his immediate family lost their lives in a plane crash in a village called Adjarra near Porto Novou after taken off from Cotonou in Benin Republic where they went for a Concert . I know that my client had no living kin but I went ahead and made several inquiries at your embassy to locate any of my clients extended relatives but this has proved unsuccessful. I only did so to be double sure of this fact. For more on the plane crash log on to; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3348109.stm I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my late client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where this huge deposits were lodged, where the deceased had an account valued at about $3.2 million dollars and the bank has issued me a notice that in the event that no next of kin comes up for the claim, the account will be confiscated after five years if not claimed. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over years now I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased so that the proceeds of this account valued at 3.2million dollars can be paid to you and then you and I can share the money equally. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up any claim we may make. All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. I look forward to your urgent response. Best regards, Barrister Mathew.

Mike, the last time I drilled out an exhaust stud, I drilled it sideways. I did manage to get the exhaust back on with the sideways stud, but as the nut only made contact on onde side, it didn't last very long. So I need her to fill my holes will weld, then redrill and tap the holes. |

Jim - yesterday was a lot of fun! How cool was it that the ADV BBQ was the same weekend! Mikethebike - Ray Price really did a nice job. Thanks again for lunch, the door prizes and most of all the warm welcome we all received. It was good to see some familiar faces again and we had a few new people! C3 is once again growing. |
