Thanks Jim. I was hoping to get in another ride today, but the weather didn't cooperate. Carlos thinks I'm just not taking it all the way to the stop when I'm upshifting. Need to pay more attention on my next ride and make the upshift count! U4 - so glad you got a chance to get out and ride today! |

Had a very excellent ride with U4euh today. I'm glad I wasn't trying to keep up. |

Is this a "TGTBT" ad? A 2009 with 670 miles for $7500. Either it was acquired in a questionable manner or the owner fell on hard times very suddenly. http://greensboro.craigslist.org/mcy/1333749636.ht ml Quite a steal. Practically brand new at a 25% discount. |

Watching "Danny". How peculiar. That's what Spectrum and I will be doing next weekend in New Jersey. Oops - I just realized were speaking of 2 different Danny's, 1313 |

It's a nice price, but I don't know that it's too good to be true. It's always hard to resell nearly new vehicles since you're competing with new vehicles at the dealer, so generally there's a big price drop just for selling the bike as used regardless of the mileage. Also, right now seems to be a tough time to resell. A coworker of mine had an absolutely spotless 2007 ZX-6R listed on craigslist for $5700 and didn't get any interest. He ended up taking $4500 for it on trade-in. |

I spotted a black Ulysses turning right from Judd Parkway to 401 yesterday around 6pm in Fuquay. Rider was wearing a red jacket. Any chance it was a C3er? |

If he was a big guy, it was probably Jimmy. |

I can't say for certain how big he was. The Ulysses makes otherwise tall people appear to be normal sized. |

The Ulysses makes otherwise tall people appear to be normal sized. If it makes an oversized gutline look normal I think I should ride the XT-BOLT more often (like that's possible...). I think Oldog's been eating the grass again. I got an Email from him earlier tonight that has me puzzled... So Oldog, you got something you wanna share with the group? Come on, fess up! 1313 OMG! I just got your reply Oldog! OMG! How AWESOME is that?!?! I'm glad I was sitting down! |

Oldog, Sounds like you are building a stable of Buells. I would but my wife says she needs a new Jeep first and a house. |

Oldog - Fantastic news. I'm in Charlotte and own an 08 1125R owner. I've learned a lot about these bikes and will be glad to share. Anything I can do to help or if you need anything while in Charlotte give me a shout. PM me if you need my cell phone number or ask Brankin. |

The black Uly on 401/Judd Parkway was me. Mike told me I was spotted while we were at dinner last night and am just now finding it on the board. Spike - That's exactly what my friends say... "Your Ulysses is a Jimmy sized bike" |

Well that sucks. Did you put the wheel on yourself? You may be the first to have a black seal failure. |

Quit riding 24/7 and give them bearings a chance to cool down! |

Nice seeing you today Twig and Patty. I really like your house, a lot! Nice screen too .... Had Japanise around the corner at Arigato's (sp). We had a great ride! 22 back South is a very scenic road. |
