Dan, thanks for the concern! And, thanks for the play-by-play of the seminar. I have to live through you guys for a while. 5 hours!!! Are you serious? Now I am even more pissed that I wasn't there. Did you guys talk about a meeting there next Sat.? I will have a better prognosis on my wrist hopefully by tomorrow afternoon. Brian |

Brian, We haven't figured out next Saturday yet. Still up in the air. If you have a broken wrist, Ft. Washington is fine for me. Who knows what the weather will be anyway. |

Hey Brian , sorry to hear about your wrist. Will you still be out of town next weekend? If not can you still ride? If not I will gladly ride any of your bikes to keep them in proper working order. I'm sure that will definitely help. You know the gas could go bad or flat spots on the tires, you wouldn't want that to happen would you? |

Lars, Dan; No, I am not traveling. I missed going on a week+ all expenses paid trip to France and Turkey complements of Uncle Sam. And, no I cannot ride any of my Bikes. Sucks! Lars, I might have to take you up on your generous offer to exercise my beauties. I will be busy next Sat. at my niece's birthday party. Will know more tomorrow afternoon. Brian |

Sorry, I know these things are for ridin', and believe me I did my share for the first few years, I've got almost 30k now, although I had almost that much last year,.... anyhow. I do want to brag about it's showin ability... I just got back from Gettysburg, with a first place for american stock under 1201cc.... beat all the sporties with their show goodies... ah ha!!!! It was nice to field all the positive comments about Buell's, along with just how I've polished it up. |

Greg - that's AWESOME. I'll vouch for ya, too...not only do you ride 'er, but you ride the snot out of 'er It's just that unlike me, you take the time after you ride it to actually clean it up, lol. And, you and Mark have done a helluva job - the paint really is amazing, and your polish work looks great. Nice job Speaking of clean bikes...roads are dry(ish) today and it looks like lots of the salt got rinsed away, might be a tuber day for a change....YAY. |

Hey Bryce, welcome to Columbia! There are a few Buell riders who are based in the Columbia area... myself, Supafast and "G" (not a BADWeber). "G" and I ride XB12s and Supafast has a XB9s. There are plenty of nice roads in northern and western Howard county to ride, between Columbia and Frederick. Just get in touch and when the urge hits you. |

Yeah, I was pretty sure you were the guy that bought the green Triumph last summer. Sweet bike! I checked them out at the Washington Motorcycle Show. I've never ridden with the Columbia motorcycle group before. Usually just get out solo or meet up with Buell friends. I'm very familiar with the Tridelphia, Ten Oaks Sharp road area since I don't live far from there and if I want to get out for a quick stress-reducer that's what I'll hit. I have a WRX wagon, but my hobby list is too full to sport that out and start rallying. As it is I haven't been getting on the mountain bike nearly as much as I used to. |

Bryce, I used to autoX a BMW 2002 and 528 with the CCA. Really miss it since I bought the Dodge diesel. I still enjoy spectating though. Any way to send a schedule (PM or otherwise)? I'd love to ride the Uly around to check it out again. |

Mine is an 05 wagon, bone stock. Fun and reliable! I know a guy I used to work with who lives in the Ellicott City area and he autoXs a Honda S2000. I can put you two in touch if you're interested. Sunday morning might work for a ride. I have a bunch to squeeze in this weekend and the pieces are just starting to take shape this early in the week. |

No, he drove some unusual sport/economy Nissan that was known to handle well. Can't remember the model. His name is Chris Krahe. Let's see how Sunday works out I may be out late on Saturday, and my GF is coming over on Sunday around 1 to 2 pm. So there is some time in there to get out for a blast. |

Ft Wash Dudes! Looks like Brian is OOC (out of commission). Have not heard from anybody else. That said, weather permitting, I am heading to Winchester to get a mirror on Saturday, unless somebody makes a much better offer. Company welcome. |

Dan, If I wasn't busy this Sat. with family matters I would go with you to Winchester. Need something to do. Can't do anything at home, work, or on any of my bikes. Surgery is scheduled for next week. Will have more plates and screws in my wrist than a Buell throttle assembly! Hopefully, in a month or less I will be twisting a throttle again. Brian |

Hey Bryce, I'm still up here. Will be moving out of state in November, so I have one more year on the East Coast. Then it's off to Kentucky. (Most likely, I'm moving to Afghanistan, and keeping a summer home in KY which I'll get to visit once in awhile) And I still have Yellow, White, Black & Blue. Keeping the blue, but letting the rest go. I have waaaaaay to many hobbies these days, the Buell doesn't have all my attention these days.

Probably has more to do with heavy braking and carrying weight (luggage, passenger....). |

Yes it was was a nice day to be out! It was great riding with you. I wish we could have finished out the planned route, but time just went by so fast as usual when you're having fun. Plenty of warm(er) days ahead though. |
