Author Message   Buell_nm Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2011 - 11:30 am:        That's cool. I want one!!!   Bartimus Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2011 - 11:46 am:        Just one? I have about 60 of them, LOL.   Xtreme6669 Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2011 - 12:13 pm:        I'm in for one!   Road_thing Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2011 - 04:48 pm:        Can you do one with Brad's face on it? rt   Syonyk Posted on Sunday, November 13, 2011 - 08:19 pm:        Sure, I'll take a few. In other news, I just finished dumping an awful lot of money into the Blast. One of Dan's intakes, a Jardine, rejetting, shimming the needle, removing unneeded junk... *GRINS* That bike is amazingly fun once you get rid of the stock exhaust cork! It's loud, and surprisingly quick for what it is. ... need moar. Anyone have an XB9 head laying around?   Agfish18 Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 11:07 am:        Russ, no XB9 heads, but I do have 1125 rear signals...If I can recall correctly you had asked about them before. and sorry I didnt get to stick around yesterday and say hi at the light. We were heading to breakfast. Stacey took off, and I didnt want to leave her alone as she is still a bit nervous riding by herself.   Syonyk Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 11:18 am:        No worries, just was saying hi. I was heading to help a friend move, hence the wagon. I wouldn't mind another set of 1125 rear signals. They're quite useful to swap in place of the XB type signals. How much do you want for the set?   Agfish18 Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 01:49 pm:        Free sound good? I don't need them really, and they aren't really worth THAT much.   Syonyk Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 04:06 pm:        Works for me!   Bartimus Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 08:02 pm:        Kim, I've got yours set aside along with some cable ties. How are you feeling? Still sick? I might come up Saturday on the S2, are you going to be around?   Bartimus Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 08:08 pm:        Russ, you want to come by and pick them up, or meet somewhere?   Syonyk Posted on Monday, November 14, 2011 - 08:49 pm:        Yeah... shoot me a text. I don't think I still have your #. I could swing by sometime tonight or Wednesday.   Bartimus Posted on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - 06:51 pm:        Hmmm, what to do this weekend... 191 and Emory Pass, only about 700 miles, but it should do to cure the PMS. Shame I have to ride all those damn freeway miles to do it.   Ghostrider Posted on Thursday, November 17, 2011 - 10:33 am:        Well, just be careful. It's cold enough even down there that in some of those mountain roads, there may be some slick stuff, especially if they've had any precipitation lately.   Bartimus Posted on Friday, November 18, 2011 - 07:46 pm:        yes SIR !   Snottsdalebueller Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 09:18 pm:        For those of you who think riding the mountains in November isn't fun, you're wrong. Yes temps were in the 40s most of the day (and even in the 30s here and there) but it was well worth it! Proper gear and good wind protection can let you ride almost all year. Unless you're in Phoenix, then all you need is a mesh jacket. Had a great time riding and shootin the $hit with you Bart. Looking forward to next time!   Bartimus Posted on Sunday, November 20, 2011 - 11:40 pm:        I had a great time! the roads were sweet, and best of all, NO BUGS! LOL I took a new route to Alpine and ended up going through Reserve, NM. Great road, can't wait to do it again in May for the SpringFast ride. Alpine fire Damage Kelly at one of the overlooks HWY79, between Clifton and Glenwood, CJ should remember this spot, he performed CPR on Daryl Levesque back in 2003 during the BRAG TorqueFest ride. RIP I put the Buell sticker on the guardrail last May during the SpringFast ride, as someone took down the marker. The Chino/Santa Rita open pit mine outside of Silver City I LMAO when I saw this deer sign and had to turn around and get a picture, look closely It's still nice enough to ride, if you've got the gear. Heck, it was 65 degrees here when I got home. Let's RIDE!   Ghostrider Posted on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - 12:23 pm:        Great photos, Bart! Looks like you guys had a good time! I was in Philadelphia all weekend. Gave my dad his gun that I bought him for his 60th birthday last year. Took forever to get it in. Rossi Ranch Hand in .45 Colt. Just like the one Steve McQueen used in Wanted Dead or Alive. Ran the half marathon, too. My training had not been going well due to my travel and work schedules, but I had already paid for it, so made sense to just run even if I didn't hit my goal time. I did a 2:17, which is not my slowest at that distance, so I'm relatively happy. Going to run St. Petersburg in February. Trying for 1:59. Two guys died running the race. A 21-year-old and a 40-year-old. Media said both were apparent heart attacks, but I suspect that they had some other undiscovered ailment that became critical once they were dehydrated and low on sodium, glycogen, etc. Bart, I'm going to try to find time this week to meet up. I'll call ya.   Buell_nm Posted on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - 12:24 pm:        I bet it was a great ride. Glad you guys had a great time. Wish I could have joined you.   Agfish18 Posted on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - 12:26 pm:        I LMAO when I saw this deer sign and had to turn around and get a picture, look closely. That is what they call a horny deer crossing...   Agfish18 Posted on Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - 04:21 pm:        Happy Thanksgiving all!   Syonyk Posted on Thursday, November 24, 2011 - 10:44 am:        Happy Thanksgiving! If anyone is still lacking plans, let me know - I've got a gathering tonight for people who are still in town.   Syonyk Posted on Monday, December 05, 2011 - 06:40 pm:        It was *nasty* today. I took a car.   Buell_nm Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2011 - 09:19 am:        http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?artic le=46811 buell news... EBR is doing some great things.   Ghostrider Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2011 - 04:31 pm:        Not to take anything away from May or EBR, but is that really competition for them? When you've been racing all season against the best in the AMA, are these other riders of that caliber?   Buell_nm Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2011 - 11:05 pm:        He was racing against a few other AMA riders, but the big deal was braking the track record. Doesn't matter how you are racing against. Breaking the record is something awesome.   Syonyk Posted on Wednesday, December 07, 2011 - 09:38 am:        I agree - winning is nice, but breaking the track record by half a second is the really impressive part. Doesn't matter who you're racing against or on what motorcycle you're on - if you can get around the track faster than anyone else has ever gotten around the track, you're clearly on a very competent machine. No matter how good you are, you're not going to break that record on a Blast. ... so, heated gloves or heated grips? It's flipping COLD riding into work.   Agfish18 Posted on Wednesday, December 07, 2011 - 11:00 am:        I say heated gloves... grips only heat the inside of your hands.   Bartimus Posted on Wednesday, December 07, 2011 - 11:38 am:        I prefer heated grips. Got them on all the bikes now except the S2. I have a pair of widder electric gloves you are welcome to borrow. I used them maybe once last winter. The grips work that well for me.   Ghostrider Posted on Wednesday, December 07, 2011 - 03:46 pm:        I've never had heated gloves, so don't know. I've only had heated grips these past two winters and I really like them. Prior to that I just froze.
