We were out in Chesterfield Saturday and Buck took a turn a little to wide and ended up in a ditch. Bike has a bent rim and a dented oil tank cover (2007 1200 Sporty). He went to the hospital last night and had some internal bleeding. They released him today and said he will be alroght in a week or so. |

Saw Buck this evening when he brought the bike in he looked and sounded okay. Tough old dude if you ask me. |

I have missed a lot, I hope you feel better buck. I recently took a spill too, and was blessed. Windy City is fun, I rode with my brother and his friends and they (Sportbike Rider's) ride a little faster than I am used to or my bike wants to go, but it was fun. I have been to San Diego, and I am in Corpus Christi, TX now. I leave to go back to Chicago tomorrow and then to ATL on Friday. I will get back to Norfolk on Sunday just to fly back to San Diego on Monday-Friday. Gotta love my job. Take care and I will catch up with you all when I get back. Mel, Did you fix your oil leak. When I get back, mine is going in for 5K and Oil leak. Dave |

Actually Dave, mine is coming from the drip tube hanging in front of the fan (why they put it there I have no idea!!! It was just run off... it seems that either I'm riding harder then ever or something has changed cause it never use to leak like that before. Um so what's up wit the 3%ers logo? You do realize that's for them GA boys right? -lol |

Hey Mike... I see they've built your White and Blue 1125R!!! Check the site, the '09s are in! I kinda like the 1125CR, but the Pods DEFINITELY have to go now! |

Hello, Chaps. Anybody know someone looking for a Ducati Monster? I know there is a classified board, but I am trying to keep it local. Due, mainly, to the overwhelming cost of IVF, I need to let one of my cherished treasures go. I honestly might have kept the Duc, but it is paid off and I still owe a ton on the Scg. |

Fraggle!!! Man, we were wondering if that 'oh so boring ride to the OBX scared you off!!! No promises, but what are the details on the Duc? I'll ask around. (There are a couple of guys here at work that are looking) |

Fraggle, theres a Ducati discussion board like this that you may have luck selling your Duc on? I havent fooled much with the link but my Duc friend use to frequent it... http://www.ducsunlimited.com/phpBB2/index.php |

Nah, not scared off, just busy as all hell, what with work, school, training, life, and whatnot. Dropped the scg off for the 5k maint yesterday. Duc showed me the CRs. Man, that is nice. I need that. Thanks for the link, Supafast. I already posted on a ducati monster forum, but I am trying to keep it local. http://norfolk.craigslist.org/mcy/766401702.html Finals this week, maybe I will be able to get out and ride before the next semester starts!!! |

Wait... Duck you've got a CR @ SSHD? |

No, man! The 09 models aren't out yet. He showed me this neat thing called a web site. Its on the internet. Amazing, I'd say. Really though, I just hadn't gotten the email about the new line up, so it was new line up at the Buell site. I am thinking red CR, with black pods. |

I just got done looking at the CR all day at work. And you know, just when I thought I was all but riding on a CityX this had to be unveiled. I think I'm gonna get myself into some trouble! |

I'd like to demo it since they said that they lowered the gear ratio for better acceleration. Might make it more street fighter less super bike! (Then I'd be happy) But I think really the next Buell for me is the XT. I need a commuter bike. (with some luggage space!)
now all I have to do is figure out how to keep both of them! |

Mel, I think you NEED an XT! Great addition to the stable. (I know, sorry, bad influence) |

Let the bidding begin!!... I have a 1987 Kawi 454LTD for sale. I need 1k. It needs normal service that a 13k mile bike needs after sitting for a while...Garaged. The forks have been done by Casey to spec. Needs: New tires and belt, cable lube, and basically another 10k service. Good beginner bike, it was for me in 93. (p.s. 14k redline) (Message edited by Tank_Bueller on July 24, 2008) |
