Phil, What were the colors of your leathers and helmet? Or just post one of your pics. To everyone who was there, post one of your pics. (Message edited by cowtown on September 30, 2008)   P_squared Posted on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 - 06:10 pm:        I looked @ the VRods pegs up close around lunch time. They were ground down pretty darn good.   Webethumpin Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 11:00 am:        Slowride it was grate to finally meet you and cant wait to ride with you again.If you ever come to NC East coast you have a Buell family here. Later Webe   Webethumpin Posted on Monday, October 06, 2008 - 10:08 pm:        http://www.news3online.com/index.php?code=930F270D 54vZn07XmNBu Slowride you are not gonna believe this.   Kevinfromwebb Posted on Sunday, October 12, 2008 - 10:09 pm:        Paul, I would recongize those leathers anywhere...   Cowtown Posted on Monday, October 13, 2008 - 09:52 am:        It's hard to be cheap and color coordinated. Thanks New Enough.   Dasbuell Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 10:31 am:        Where can I go (dealership) to get a battery for my 03 XB9S and they will have a clue? I live in Fort Worth. Thanks!   Cowtown Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 11:53 am:        I bought mine at Batteries Plus: http://www.batteriesplus.com/products/59-CC/3990-M otorcycle-Batteries/336687-Buell/2008-DASH--DASH-2 002/1.aspx http://www.batteriesplus.com/store_locator/state/T X.aspx   Dasbuell Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 12:11 pm:        Is it an exact replacement? Terminal connections identical to the factory AGM?   Cowtown Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 02:27 pm:        It's been a couple of years, but I think the only difference is the factory terminals are threaded and the replacement has nuts. I can look at them tonight if you want. I do remember it cost a lot less than the dealership.   Dasbuell Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 02:37 pm:        If you could please. I have read about replacement batteries being slightly bigger and a tight fit, and cables needing to be slightly modified to bolt to the terminals. All I have is a few tools and an apartment parking lot... so I need easy drop in replacement. Thanks!   Cowtown Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 03:53 pm:        I'll look at them tonight, but I can say that size and cable placement are the same.   Slowride Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 06:39 pm:        Hey all, I made it back from my long trip to Suches, GA. It was a total of 4200 miles. I will post up picks and ride reports a little later in the week. Webe for Prez!!! I love it.   Cowtown Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - 10:22 am:        Dennis, the only difference is what I stated before, nuts instead of a threaded terminal. The battery case is identical, the top looks like it came from the same mold. Micah, 4,200 miles! You do realize you can get to Georgia without going through Alaska, just kidding. You deserve an Iron Butt Award.   Slowride Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 - 05:25 pm:        LOL, thanks Paul... Actually the last day on my ride I was planning on riding from Winston-Salem,NC to Little Elm, TX (1092 miles). I made it 15 miles East of Little Rock, AR at 11:45pm. I filled up the tank and took a look at the rear wheel. I had cords showing through the center of my tire. The little lady came and rescued my butt the next day. My trip destinations went something like this... Little Elm --> Suches,GA Suches,GA --> Beaufort,SC Beaufort,SC --> Norfolk,VA (Via the Outerbanks) Norfolk,VA --> Deals Gap, TN Deals Gap,TN --> Little Elm 4200 miles or so with a couple of days riding the North Georgia Mountain roads and 287 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway.   P_squared Posted on Friday, October 17, 2008 - 09:11 am:        Should we expect a ride report in the 'Tale Section' ? Glad to hear you covered that many miles and had fun.   Xb12rdavid Posted on Sunday, October 26, 2008 - 03:22 pm:        Slowride, Glad to see you made it back safely. I didn't get to talk much or see you will you were in VA. I am on business here in Fort Worth. Looks like you made a trip out of it though, maybe next time you can hang out a little longer. David   Richardc Posted on Saturday, November 01, 2008 - 02:19 pm:        Can anyone recommend a reputable service shop near the Plano/Richardson area? My Firebolt needs the 10k maintenance and I don't really like the Harley shop in Allen. Thanks, Richard   P_squared Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 01:28 pm:        You can try American Eagle in Corinth. Tripp (sp?) is the Buell tech in Service & is pretty sharp.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 - 11:12 pm:        IMS is the weekend is anyone attending?   P_squared Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 04:00 pm:        Going on Saturday w/ my friend who lives in the neighborhood. It's running Friday, Saturday & Sunday @ the Dallas convention center this year.   Cowtown Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 06:06 pm:        Wish it was in Fort Worth. Nothing like riding your bike around the Water Gardens, legally that is.   Speedfreaks101 Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 06:31 pm:        Dallas is much closer for me but I also like the Ft Worth venue. It is a nice open area outside and offered plenty of parking with good security.   Kevinfromwebb Posted on Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 06:57 pm:        Micah, that's a lot of miles... whew... I took the ST up to OK and ARK this weekend, did ride some scenic stuff and rode back in sunday evening to beat the rain... I put about 900 miles on the clock and thought that was pretty good, then I see your 4200... Iron butt or iron head??? hehe I'm planning on going to the IMS show but it looks like I'll be at work this weekend so it'll probably be 3 or 4 in the afternoon on saturday depending on what time I go to work... Hope to see some of yall out there... Kevin   Jonnyblaster Posted on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 09:09 am:        I'm actually headed over to IMS on Saturday with a bunch of guys from work. We should be over in Dallas around 10ish. Hope to see some of y'all there. It's been a while.   Slowride Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 01:57 pm:        Well not to long ago after Buelltoberfest I posted a thread letting everyone know I had sold the Uly and picked up a new 2008 GL1800 for touring duty. I mentioned in the thread that I would own another Buell and hopefully in time for MBVI. Well..... I am the proud new owner of a Buell again. I purchased a 98 S3T from a badwebber. The bike is currently being torn down to the frame for a rework. I just finished pulling the motor out the frame and I will be taking the bike completely apart (to powder coat the frame, swingarm, etc.)this winter. I am hoping the bike will be ready to ride to MBVI in March. This is it before the tear down   P_squared Posted on Thursday, December 04, 2008 - 10:19 am:        Pics when you're done please, & congratulations, 'cuz that's a purdy bike ya got there.
