I am wondering where in Colorado all the BadWeb Buellers live and what they ride.
I live in Fountain Colorado (20 miles south of Colorado Springs and 30 miles north of Pueblo) and ride a 2007 XB12R, 1996 S2T and a 1998 S1W that is in the process of being rebuilt. I also ride a 1992 XLH but it is in pieces as well. My first Buell was a 97 S1 but I sold that to buy the XB.

I live just east of Longmont and work in Gunbarrel.
Right now all I have is my old Shovel, 1982 FXWG. September, I traded my '03 XB9R to my little brother for his '95 Z-28 Camaro after ordering a new 1125R for my birthday.
The Shovel needs some attention, plugs and points.
The 1125R STILL ISN'T HERE and there's 6 effing inches of snow on the ground and 13 whole degrees on the thermometer.
The Camaro's heater sorta works, it's from Texas.
Days like today are relegated to my 600 dollar Jeep Cherokee, 4WD and the heater CRANKS.
Wife's up, I have to put on my Sorrells and go get her paper.

Zack, we are getting the snow as well. Not that much but I think about three inches so far. The good thing is it is giving me time to do the rebuild on the S1W....
Your getting a 1125r?.... I am jealous... |

I live in Westminster, and ride a '97 M2. I finally had to replace the completely dead (completely!!!!)Showa with a Penske. Now I have to do tires. I ride as much as possible, clear roads permitting. Cold? Wear more clothing! Hope to see some of you at a ThunderClub meeting. |

Graph, I get up to Westminster sometimes. I have good friends that live in that area. Next time I go up I may drop you a line. I think it is right around 100 miles between his house and mine. The first time I went up there I kept looking for a sign saying "Welcome to WY" I was sure I went too far. He says the same thing about my place and New Mexico LOL....
I will be glad when this snow is gone.

Dan, when are you moving down South? Make sure you rally the Pueblo Buell riders down there and tell them about the BadWeb site so they can join us on a couple of rides.

Hey all -
My 1125R finally showed up last week. Think I might have the only one in Colorado so far.
Sun delivered it to my door Tuesday afternoon.
I got 20 or so miles on it, then went into the garage and installed heated grips, tour seat and tank bra.
Took Wednesday off and rode around a bit before heading up I-25 to Cheyenne.
Nice ride, Loretta handles crosswinds effortlessly.
After riding to work and back yesterday, I've got 252miles logged.
Weather forecast doesn't look good, neither does my driveway.
Oh well, 4 days off is 4 days off.
She'll be very shiny the next time she rolls out of the garage.

Zack, I think you are right in that you have the only one in CO. I will stop by to see Jammer on the 26th and drool over the 1125r he has left.
Great post and pics on your impression of the bike and how it handles. You are making me jealous....

I've yet to see another buell rider here in the springs, maybe they are all down south. At least while Im down there the roads are better in the winter. Im currently in the works to start at outpost harley either in feb or march |

Great news. I wish Outpost was still a Buell dealer. I have bought three bikes from them over the years. What are you going to be doing there, sales, service???
I live closer to them than to PPHD so it is easier for me to go down there if I need a non-Buell specific part.
I have seen three other Buell riders in Fountain and about 6 in the Springs area that are not on the BadWeb or associated with the Altitude Riders. Hopefully this thread on the BadWeb will help all the clubs in CO and bring together a lot more Bullers. While down there you will be in a prime position to tell any Buell riders that you see about the site.
I think the very nature of Buell riders is to be loners but it is nice having someone to ride with from time to time.
If you cannot get your pictures to post just email them to me and I will post them for you.

got it! thanks for the offer though. I actually had no idea outpost was no longer a buell dealer. I havent been down there in a while but they still show buells on their web site. I will be in sales but will move into service as soon as something opens up. Although I might need to rethink this now with your new information. |

Fireboltwillie and Pskin78, glad to have you on board. I hope we get more people around Colorado to ride with.
Pskin78, check out http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Altituderiders /
The Altitude Riders only has a yahoo group so far but sign up to join and the moderator will approve you so you can see what is going on locally.
I live pretty close to Fort Carson so I look forward to having another Bueller close by.

Well Pskin, I can certainly say I was happy as hell to leave Ft. Gordon to come here to CO. Though, I won't be with you at Ft. Carson as I'm stationed at Peterson AFB. Will be waiting to meet up with you, when will you be getting here? |
