Welcome Troy - If you are wanting to get the Uly dirty I have been riding with a few other big DS's on some weekends. Enjoy and +1 on the PBR, great group |

Not trying to compete with the usual Sat ride - but if there are any Ulys that want to go on some gravel/dirt -I am meeting with a couple of other "beasts" to go over Nicoli Mtn from HW 30 to 26 Sat. We are meeting at 7:30 am at Starbucks in St Helens - should be back in Portland by 1-1:30. |

Forester,
We tend to do sport rides on Saturday AM's, I don't think its competing to set up a dirt ride at the same time.
Course if you needed a place to meet at 7 AM... |

Great ride today 56 miles of gravel and dirt in Tilamook State forest. The more I ride the more I am impressed with the Uly on gravel and dirt.

Rode out on DNR ground east of Vancouver today. Discovered/affirmed that Sync's do not like mud. Luckily no one was around to see me fall over. Great views from the ridge, grey but still good.

I am thinking about checking this ride out next weekend - any other Uly riders interested?

Perhaps I should check out a Demo Uly and go! |

I signed up today - would be nice to get more than one Uly, Paul see if you can get the blue one with all the tourtech guards on it - it is too clean and shiny.  , play on Dave's love Italian bikes. |

Rode with the Ducati group today, those Hypermotard's are nimble as crap until they got on gravel. They would take off at 90+ on pavement then hit the gravel and do 25mph (they had 100% street tires). Only one Multistrada. One of the Ducati sales guys was amazed at how fast the Uly is on gravel. I was fading back so I could at least take it to 40+ for short bursts. Still a fun ride with decent people. 47 between Clatskanie and Mist is a lot cleaner now, only a couple of spots of gravel. |

Uly riders, have you hears about the Rider Comfort KIt? Improves comfort by redirecting airflow to reduce the overall heat on the right side. Retail $ 119.95. We have a couple on order.

Might have to look into one of these. That is one of my biggest complaints about the XB12XT. |

Planning a long ride weekend (tentative is Sunday) from Gresham over Lolo Pass to Hood River area for some dirt and gravel roads - Plan to pop out near Mosier, then Slab home. Any Uly's interested? |

OK the date is Monday - only a two as of now, everyone is gone this weekend- nothing too crazy just gravel and some tame dirt between Hood River and the Dalles. I will post details late Sat. Any one is welcome. |

Broke in the Uly - Literally
Over Lolo Pass - banging around Hood River ORV areas
Rode through a bunch of rocky, muddy off road areas -
Then I bust a blinker and my clutch handle punches through the "handguard" not riding but the bike falling over while I was taking a leak 
The clutch handle punched right through the "guard" - Dave the bark busters on the armored 08 at Latus look real good! |

My brother and I bought 2 new XT's during the fire sale. Last month we installed the comfort kits. I had mine re flashed at Latus, it cost me $55. He just had his re flashed at Paradise HD and they did it free because it's under warranty. They even washed it at no charge!
Anyway, here's a picture of our bikes last week at Three corner rock near Stevenson WA.

Great Ron - I installed the comfort kit and decided based on the varied opinions on BadWeb to not do the reflash. Good to know that Paradise will do it for 0 if under warranty.
Great picture - if you and your brother want to do any dirty riding let me know. I wander a fair bit on gravel/dirt on the Uly. A friend of mine on the big V-strom and I are planning a three-four day run to the Steens this summer also.
We have also talked about doing PBR rides where a group of Ulys goes for some gravel/dirt and meets up with the clean bikes using a same destination different route tactic. As of now we do not seem to ever get enough Uly's that want to ride gravel roads. |

Brings a tear to my eye thinking about what I could of saved if i bought mine last month instead of last year.
Rocky treats all us Buell guys great at Paradise.
And Greg I am still not taking my $15k bike through the woods. Call me a wimp. |

Tom all you have to do is get that first scratch, hole (like my handguard)or ding and it is all easy from there . (actually I dread the day that I actually really damage something, not as cheap to repair as my buddy's V-strom) I will not call you a wimp - your bike looks great. |

I don't know all the info about this, but if I installed parts on my bike and walked in and said to install a new download and paid for it is not to place blame on the service department. If my bike had an issue with heat and driveabilty then a service dept. can file for warranty and no charge to customer. So as NW said not all bikes need this. |

Well said Dave - sometimes you just have to ask the correct question. So far my Uly does not need the reflash, will see when it gets hot. |

Also keep in mind that the flash is free but the labor is not unless a warranty claim due to ride ability or something similar that warrants a new flash to resolve issues. |

Dave, Did you read my post? Did I blame anyone?
Paradise was more than fair to my brother so I'll try them next. |

We are always up for a ride. Call me anytime. My brother and I are riding the Buells to the Charachoa mountains in Southern Arizona near Mexico in late May. I have a 1200GS also but the Buell is too much fun. |
