Author Message   Vanslam Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 12:20 am:        Got over 700 miles on my 1125r added new Buell seat and a Zero Gravity Double Bubble windscreen. I have an appointment to get my first service done this weekend. This bike is awesome and is more fun than my Ducati was. Sad to say I haven't put any miles on my Road Rod (VROD) and very little on my 1948 Indian since I got the bike. May just put the Road Rod up for sale because the Buell is that good. +++ jpeg +++ 512109 +++ My 1948 Indian +++ Awesome job Buell. This bike has earning its spot in my heart next to my Indian.

I bought my 1125CR 18 days ago and it's been in the shop for the last 15 sportin a whole 40 miles.. I truly hope to agree with you one day. :-/   Sleeper_777 Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 12:38 am:        Thanks for the kindness. I went in the dealership in '03 to buy a VROD and came out with a Buell. Never looked back and enjoyed every riding second. Regards, Sleeper_777   Vanslam Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 12:54 am:        Bwbueller sorry to hear about your issues, it sounds like a typical Ducati experience LOL. The 2008 were flawed but all the bugs were identified and should have been fixed. My dealer is a really good Buell shop. So if you are ever in NJ go to Long Branch HD and they will hook you up.   Bwbueller Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 01:00 am:        Heck yeah!! Thanks for the sympathy. The bike for the most part is ready for me to fall in love with it!! The 40 miles I put on it seemed promising! I'm very excited.. My anticipation is eating me alive. I feel like I could use a different dealer fo sho!! I was going to try to ween myself off the jap bikes.. just not off to a very good start. : )   Zac4mac Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 07:33 am:        I USED to have a 48 Chief Now there's only one bike in the garage, Loretta.

Nice family car.   Milleniumx1 Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 09:10 am:        I've owned several bikes (all H-D except my '00 X1) ... And my 09R is the first one that I really can't stay off of. I don't get a lot of chances to ride, so managing to put 350 miles on mine in the first week and a half is doing something. I love this thing! Mike   Vanslam Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 01:14 pm:        Here is my 1948 chief   Milleniumx1 Posted on Friday, November 06, 2009 - 03:54 pm:        I loved mine another 70 miles worth today ... Over 400 now, and the way the weather is looking I might get to that fabled 620 real quickly. Mike
