It's the GD global warming. Why else would it be snowing in mid April. I finally put my new recall replacement front tire on the X1. I put the new licence plate on. As soon as it's not threatening to snow I may go for a ride.

This weather sucks!

I remember back in the seventy's when we had unusually cold weather. Everyone thought we were going into another ice age. When I lived in CA in the sixty's eveyone thought anything west of the SA fault line would slide into the Pacific ocean. They even had a date when it would happen. I like to just think the sky is falling. The sky IS falling you know.

Anybody know where I can get some bullet holes for my KLR ?

Joe.

Destination Fife service department says they should have my bike finished tomorrow...
I'd love to ride with you Galen.

I'm probably going to be taking a few newbies around on Saturday morning.
This is the route I'm planning on taking.

What time are you thinking about getting out on Saturday?

Works Shock! Very nice. Can't wait to get a full report on its performance attributes.
Betty is really coming along. How are we ever going to get that grin off your face.

Sunday is the maiden run for the old CB550 Cafe Racer project bike. Hope it all stays together.

Cheers

OH MY GOD! After a short test run on the new Works... well that's better than a pocket full of majic beans. Felt so smoooth, I hadn't realized all the pounding I felt coming up through the seat wasn't a part of the Buell Riding Experience. Shazbot! I'm gona go out tomorrow and run up to some of the local twisties and do some testing. But it's already the shiznit baby!

Paul, it's a date for Saturday. Let me know when and I'll be there. Actually we should just hook up at Safeway and head out together, so just tell me when I guess.


Jimmy, we is gona have us some fun at Sonoma! Oh yes we is!

sooner, Galen

I just want you to know that your enthusiasm is costing me a bunch of money my friend, but DON’T cap it. We want the full post twisties report on that thingie.

Galen, let's meet at Le Donut for coffee around 8:45/9ish.

The n00b ride is not happening, so it will be more seasoned riders.

Here's the updated route plan.

This is an inquiry to all the neighbors in the greater Seattle area... I am in desperate need of an oil cooler for my 08XB9. Part number is Q0002.02A8. I know this is a super long shot, but I'm dying to get back on the bike and Buell is backordered...

If you've got a used one I'd gladly take if off your hands for some cash.
Thanks!

Speedster, check the Buell Classifieds. It's at the bottom of the second page...

Paul, sounds yummy, see ya there!






Ain't it beautiful!










Betty's new belt! She was tired of the seatbelt...


OK, that shock is so sweet. I was LOOKIN' for pot-holes to hit! No more pogo when I'm deep in a turn. Confidence is high, and so am I! I am ready to rail!

sooner, Galen

New catch can (got out of order...)

Jimmy, good god, man! That is freakin' beautiful! Can't wait to hear it!...

Went on a great little roll, over, under, through, and out this wk'nd. Chameleon, me, and the guy what I can't remember his name found an old tavern in an old town, Carbinado, at the bottom of the Carbon Glacier on Mt.Tac-homa. The lizard mentioned above rode a 1125R, and the big fella was on a super-clean '98 CBR. Both of these guys are smart riders who will not accidently kill one of us on a ride. We found some good, open twisties before we got home. I must report that Betty is a new joy to ride. I've picked up 10 mph easily, and with high confidence. I'm ready to start draggin' my knee. Fast sweepers... give me more!

OK, gota ferry the kid somewhere.

sooner, Galen

Unfortunately I’m unable to attend SPLASH this year and even if I could it wouldn’t be on the CB550.
As nice as the CB is, it will only reach 100MPH+ on a trailer!
