I thought Buell's ad copy was "Own The Corners", not "Own The Parking Lots".

^ I guess you could say the same about drag racing a Buell...just a different thrill in stunts.

Man's got a lot of skill and it's good to see he can do it on several bikes!

Great stuff!

Been riding/racing/stunting all my life.
Seriously... I been acting a fool from about ten years old.. 4 years of motocross got me started I guess.. Then i got my first street bike a 14.. A Honda night hawk.. I dragged the rear fender and tail light off.. Fun days.. I stopped stunting for a living in 06.. Its all down hill from there. You can't do all that stuff well, if you don't practice everyday(in a closed course environment of course). simple things like wheelies and stoppies you don't really forget.. I've always loved the corners to.. That's what i do now.. That and fly.. I'm on my fourth airplane(keep up grading). Been a pilot for two years now. Sorry I'm not bragging just life's been good and I share my blessings if folks ask.

No that's awesome. I have had a CRF450 since early '04. I get down on that bike. As of 12-31-09, The 1125 is my first street and I'm catching on pretty well.. Learning that kinda skill would be sweet. How many times do I have to crash to be that good? Haha

I feel there is a strong correspondence between (sport, low level, mid G) flying and riding a motorcycle (hard). Positive G's, movement along the same axis' etc. I can honestly say that flying (pulling decent G's) can tire you out more than riding (even racing) though! Who woulda thought?!

PS. There is nothing (in the air or otherwise) like the feeling of hoiking up a nice fat wheelie though - NOTHING!

I have had equal fun in/on both.. I've had the s**t scared out of me in/on both too.. I had a crank shaft break in low level flight last year.. me and plane made it to the ground ok... Your right thought a nice wheelie is a different kind of fun..

Thanks Illbuell for joining the Forum and posting your experiences. I've had a fascination with stunting for years but I never had a disposable motorcycle. Sure looks like a great way to spend money : D

Still can't wrap my mind around what you did with your Sportster...did not even know that was possible.

"Sure looks like a great way to spend money".. Made money thanks to Buell, Dunlop, ICON, ECKO, HD ATL and D&D but, yeah before them it was exspensive

Thank for the greeting and its good to be here.. I love Buells and good to see I'm not alone.
