Author Message   03worc9r Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2009 - 04:56 pm:        I really wanted to go on the ride this morning, but after getting out of work at 7:30am my body was in no shape to ride. Did I miss anything good??   Ducxl Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2009 - 05:01 pm:        ....Just a GL1800 slinging it in the corners with us today   Flxmanlethal Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2009 - 05:08 pm:        OOOHHH YEAH!!! The buell is up and running took it for spin around the block. NOW!..What's GL1800?   Flxmanlethal Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2009 - 05:15 pm:        Has anybody used bolts instead of rivets on those derby covers.   Scotty_j Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2009 - 07:26 pm:        Today's westerly route. And getting spanked by a Goldwing really makes you think... Rename this file as ".kmz" and open in Google Earth. Enjoy, you homos.

Skipping a weekend of shredding to hang out with a baby.   Ducxl Posted on Monday, April 06, 2009 - 05:02 pm:        I don't think ANYBODY got "spanked" by the Goldwing.The guy WAS good though.Something on his jacket stating 2nd place Enduro King Philip championship.He was a longtime dirtbiker.Still rides KTM   Danny_h__jesternut Posted on Monday, April 06, 2009 - 05:07 pm:        And getting spanked by a Goldwing really makes you think... How sucky of a rider YOU are... But he(Scotty) does have a cute little arse! I love the way he stands on the pegs and wiggles it around as he rides, jest for my viewing pleasure? Blondies be dambed!

I suggested going to Paramount Buell in Framingham, MA. Can anyone vouch for the dealership? I've never been there and wonder if any of you guys know anyone there. My buddy has a Kawi ZZR (older model) he's trying to sell or trade in for a 9R or 12R. Anyway, assistance would be great. If there is a better dealership in MA or NH or RI you can recommend he's open to travel. I'll probably be going with him to help shop. Nothing better than assisting someone else spend there money.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 08:13 am:        buy privately, better deal. Buells carry NO resale value so you can get a deal. ALL dealerships will soak you around here.   Scotty_j Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 08:20 am:        Avoid Paramount I bought my Uly there. Not the best experience... Salesman (once I found one) had his head up his butt. They had to fetch a black one for me from Precision (their sister store) and when I went to pick it up, they said I couldn't have it as it hadn't cleared tech. I rose hell, talked to the big boss guy, and had to go kill three hours until it was ready. In a few days I noticed it was missing a simple little torx screw in the rear fender, so I went to the parts desk and asked for one as the bike was only about three weeks old. "Sorry, I can't get that." Seriously? Of course, this was all before I was on BadWeb, and didn't know Tripp. I haven't been back in that shop since, and I work right across the street.. Only go there if you're a fully chromed weekend warrior looking to drop 20K on some butt jewelry and stickers for your beanie helmet. If he wants a deal on a Buell, tell him to check craigslist or the classifieds here on BadWeb.   Smack_doogle Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 08:32 am:        kind of figured that much. Thanks for the info guys.   Chippy Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 08:59 am:        There's been some good deals to be had... Any 03 xb9 shouldn't run more than 3500$. Getrad just picked up one for short change.   03worc9r Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 09:06 am:        Hey Chippy, what are you trying to say about 03 xb9's?? HUH? Craiglist all the way!!! Thats where the deals will be found if there are any to be had. my bike was a craigslist find with only 900 miles on it.   Chippy Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 11:09 am:        I'm saying he should get one!!! Get some bang for his $$$.   Chippy Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 11:12 am:        Jeff, I'll be around thursday and Friday during the day if ya wanna blast around... Or ride some bicycles.   03worc9r Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 11:22 am:        around? elaborate please! I am down for some riding thurs. afternoon   Getrad Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 12:28 pm:        smack doogle... i was looking at 05 xb9sx with 4500mi. at big moose harley in portland ME. about 2hrs from boston. i just checked the website they still have it!!! i looked at it in december. they were selling it for 5700 before i left they were down to 5000. they called me back after sayin they could meet me halfway 4750. i bet you could pick it up for 4500. i dont think that would be a horrible deal. check the website "big moose harley"   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 12:28 pm:        I will be taking this on May 26th if anyone wants to join in. I can travel ya down, but I will be staying an extra day and doing a track day to put the new knowledge to the test.... ARC COURSE   Getrad Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 12:35 pm:        don't know if anyone works or is in the boston area. but this place in malden only charged me 50$ to mount and balance both tires H & D Custom Cycles 173 Maplewood St, Malden, MA (781)321-7775}   Scotty_j Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 12:49 pm:        Getrad- sounds like the deal I got on the wife's bike a year ago: 05 XB9SX with ~4000 miles (and it currently has ~4500 miles; great investment, huh?). Originally posted by a private seller on BadWeb for $6300. Got him down to $5000 in a matter of weeks. Walk in there with $4500. Show them the money. Take the bike home. They probably gave some poor slob $3500 for trade-in value on it. If they don't cave, just walk out. They'll be calling.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 01:01 pm:        this place in malden only charged me 50$ to mount and balance both tires I will only charge ya some booze or smoke....   Chippy Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 01:02 pm:        I got a kooky work schedule too. (thurs-friday nites this week). So, I'm available some weekdays usually.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 01:07 pm:        So, I'm available some weekdays usually. Oh Sweet... So I will hire you for Friday Night then....Still 100 Roses???? Wait...What???!!!???!   Chippy Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 02:08 pm:        I'll be at work Friday night... Drivethru? N/h   Smack_doogle Posted on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - 04:04 pm:        Getrad - Thanks for that info. I'll point my buddy in the direction of Big Moose Harley. Looks like a really nice deal.
