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! | ||
| Illbuell |
Thanks geforce but, I do well in the corners too.. I like to be well balanced in all areas of riding.. I like to hit th trails from time to time too.. Not on a Buell though.. to heavy...LOL | ||

Dude your The Shite! OK so how long did it take you to get to that level? | ||
| Illbuell |
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 | ||
| Illbuell |
I stopped counting every time I hit my head.. Mainly cause I forget and start all over again.. So like twice...LOL | ||
| Captain_america |
That's funny but it doesn't help! | ||
| Illbuell |
Sorry.. To answer your question,,, a lot and you will destroy that pretty 1125 trying to learn on it.. get you some street tires for your dirt bike and come see me.. I like to teach tricks.. Ill teach you how to crash to LOL. seriously there is a art to falling so you don't get hurt.. | ||
| Captain_america |
Ya that's what I'm afraid of. I always wanted to supermoto the CRF.. that's why i bought the 1125! its fun in the dirt. lol How long you think it'll take me to get to you're place on the CRF 5th tapped @ like 85-95mph? | ||
| Illbuell |
Ouch.. Your in CA.. So a long time...Sorry i didn't see your profile. You could fly out and ride one of mine. I know some guys out that way that could also show you some stuff too.. | ||
| Captain_america |
Your pretty Generous. What bikes do you have? | ||
| Illbuell |
DRZ400,CRF150,CRF100,CRF80,CRF70,CRF50 1125CR, I sold my 1453cc sportster(in the video),07 XB12S and XB12R to buy another damn airplane. | ||
| Captain_america |
Nice! Haven't rode a CRF150 yet... Those look fun | ||
| T_man |
What type of aircraft are you into Wayne? | ||
| Illbuell |
Single engine sport planes mostly cause thats all I can afford. bought and sold three. I'm on number four now | ||

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! | ||
| Illbuell |
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  Still can't wrap my mind around what you did with your Sportster...did not even know that was possible. | ||
| Illbuell |
"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. (Message edited by illbuell on January 24, 2010) |
