hi I'm mike.

I live in durham and work in raliegh.

Picked it up a couple of weeks ago from rootintootin from the board.

Its an 04 xb12s with around 30k miles.

So far so good. Having a wiring issue with it right now though (with the bar all the way to the right it thinks the kill switch activates.)(just have to take the wiring down and find the break)
I love it.
So far I've met mike miller over at ray price, and I know sportymark pretty good.

here's some pics.


the day I picked it up

this is with the force pipe. I haven't heard it, this picture is from the last owner.





tell me what you think. also is there a good amount of owners in the area?

Welcome to the madness of Buells and BadWeB. You've got a good number of Buellers in your area. C3 has members from the mountains to the coast.

You'll find that the daily chatter happens on the main page. Be sure to check out our adventure folder to see what C3 will be up to next.

You made alot of people jealous when you dropped by the other day. You have one sweet ride. Welcome to C3. Be sure to check out RPHD/Buell's open house on April 19th. I am sure you could win the Buell class with that bike.

Congrats on the sweet ride and welcome aboard. You are right in the middle of the C3 stompin grounds so you will be able to join in weekend rides. If you you ever head east or I head west, we will have to get together.

Nice bike! I see it's got Uly handguards and a wave rotor. : )

I'm in Raleigh, near the K-mart on Western blvd. It's good to have you here.

I've fixed the wiring ussue with it cutting off. I found a break in the gray and pink tracer wire in the main harness. I repaired the break and it doesn't cut off when I turn the handle bar to the right anymore. yah!

I hope to come to some of the gatherings!!

That paint job is pretty nice looking. If you want to meet somewhere between Durham or Raleigh and Fuquay to ride let me know by pm. Just got a buell myself.

Hey, nice setup, I been eyeing a Buell tail bag like you have to keep my packable rain parka and cable lock in. Is your's the Buell or another brand?

My 12s is coming out of the garage this week for new tire, I'm in N Raleigh off Creedmoor Road.

I'll be out of town for the RPHD open house on the 19th or I'd link up with you all there.

Its the buell bag, but it's not the expandable one that that I've seen in the stores.
I work at southern states subaru on wake forest rd. Is that far from you? I think My work is in the northern side.
Maybe we can meet up on the 26 at rphd for the buell show. I'm sopose to work that saturday, but am tring to get someone to switch with me so I can show the bike.

Welcome Seeinstars. I agree that Ray Price HD-Buell has cultivated a nice Bueller community. So I definitely recommend you follow their events. Also, some of the Buellers hang out with the area sport bike riders. Raleigh eat and meets are Thursday evenings. Check out the Triangle forum at ncsportbikes.com.
