Long time lurker first time poster. Just put money down on a blue '08 XB12X. Should be bringing her home in a few weeks. I've been wanting one of these for a long time now. |

Welcome aboard. This will be the longest few weeks of your life. (Hope it's not snowing when you finally get it!) |

Thanks for the well wishes folks. I didn't get that great of a deal but the ball is in their court now that there are fewer out there. $8k OTD. Good enough I guess. Didn't want to lose it. I really wanted an '08. I don't really care for the blacked out cases on the newer ones. Plus I like that it has 25th anniversary markings. |

Unfortunately its in Ohio and I'm in Western New York. I'm hoping for an Indian summer so I can ride it home but I don't think I'll be that lucky. I'll have to throw it on the back of the truck. (Message edited by Gernick on January 06, 2010) |

Welcome! You are in for a great time. I took a weekend tour up in Watkins Glen back in October. Nice riding up there. On my way back to Virginia I drove thru Ulysses, PA.

Welcome Gernick. You live in a pretty area with a lot of roads custom built for Buell's, no doubt. It's good to have you on board. There is a lot of expertise and good info. on here and a real willingness to help. I'm a relative newby myself and have gained a lot. |
