MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE... I just received via e-mail my copy of the KC Central BRAG Quarterly. Those that contributed their writings did an outstanding job sharing with the rest of us, their experiences and points of view. I really wish I could have made the Arkansas trip... I think even more now that I REALLY missed a great trip. I want to say that Thunder (Jeff) did AN OUTSTANDING JOB of producing the news letter. The color in the news letter really gives it a professional look... and even printed out on a conventional laser printer... the images used are fantastic! Thanks to those that contributed in writing to this issue... and thanks to Jeff for an outstanding job of putting it all together. I look forward to the next issue!!! | ||

Richie Did you have the new mounts on that pipe? I ask because I just installed one on my X1. I ordered the strap mount from them this week. Force is redoing their website and will be selling there products direct!! No more custom chrome or wonderful Harley dealers to deal with!! I will try a new battery when the sun comes up. Any type/brand to stay away from? | ||

Jeff, Got it. Looks good. Thanks, John Richie, You might talk to some of the helmet mfgs. and ask them to make one with a shield like the new welding helmets use. Turns dark when the arc strikes. You may need one on those early am starts. Thats on bright someinobeach! | ||

X1db, I would use one of the Odesy batterys the are a dry battery and last several years and have a much higher cranking output. I always had to replace the battery in my bike every year even if I put a trickle charger on it in the winter until I went to the Odesy battery, it is now 4 years old and going great. They cost more than other batterys but not having to mess with it and the easier start is well worth it. You can get them from Batterys Plus stores and some bike shops. | ||

X1db,yes I have the new Force with the new front mount.The pipe split behind the rear cylinder.My mount is ok.I called Force today,turned out like I expected........I may try to have it welded and see if holds together, or I can buy a Force pipe every year........NOT!You can get Odessy batteries at a place by Kemper Arena,they have the cheapest prices I have found.I get all my batteries there.I think the name of the place is Standard Battery. | ||

OK guys... if I sent you a email of the news letter yesterday... please over look the TYPOS. Seems like every time I read it I see more and more... I have sent a revised version to Kyle at Central, so she can print out some color copies for people walking into the dealership and members. Keef ... I didn't send you a copy, something about you don't accept attachments in your email. We will get every member a color copy soon!! Jeff | ||

Jeff, I am not sure why, but I cannot open your attachment, something about my XP deleting it ??? Probably some setting on my e-mail?? I'll just go to Central and get a hard copy when I pick up my bike! | ||

Jeff, Nice job on our first newsletter!! Maybe we can talk Dennis into writing an article in the next issue. Neill | ||

Neill... Jeff and I briefly discussed that... more toward the "adventures of DASXB9S" after a trip... assuming I can ever make one. The problem I see... is that it seems an average "ranting" is about 4 pages on wordperfect... when the news letter was 6 pages. By the time all my personalties contribute... it ends up VERY long. I have planted the idea for something short in the last neighbor meeting held in my head... they all like the idea of a short story... but it will be a task to keep it short... we will just have to see what works it's way out of my fingers from the bunch in my head. I will try! GENERAL drivel... I actually did a bunch of stuff and the "community" did not force me to write about any disasters involved. For Sam and Bill... who have been to the casa de bankrupt... and seen the bike shop... that nasty wall framed where I park the BMW & Blast is no longer there. I took it down and as close as I can, correctly framed that wall. Now I just need the money to get the shop wired and get peg board hung. I tapped the power off directly to my radar detector... from the lighter power socket for the GPS. I also pulled out the service manual and set up the suspension from the chart in the manual... the settings from the dealer weren't matched front to rear. Front was setup for 230+ pound rider and the rear for a 130 + pound rider. I am eager to see if I can tell a difference. I also got a XB12 air box cover... which is supposed to help direct air into the velocity stack better than the original. Rumored to be good for 3 to 6 cheap hp (if there is a such thing as cheap HP)... I can't wait to butt dyno that change. Also... at the top of the XB12 air box cover is a space for the electronics for the exhaust valve system on the XB12... I used that space to mount my alarm system. It is not as loud as I would like... but if someone get the urge to move my bike while parked (that has happened twice... and I was not amused either time) it will indicate that it is not condoned! Any way... that is how I spent my 3 day weekend. I do not have as cool a project as Richie... but it kept me busy... I am eager to see Richie's ride in person! | ||

Dennis, For the right price I could arrange for you see it before most of the rest..like on the 20th which is Tuesday,tomorrow...hmmmmmmmmmmm  | ||

Richies bike,is a TOP SECRET PROJECT,that cannot be seen without special clearance,directly thru the president of the UNITED STATES.This bike is of NATIONAL IMPORTANCE,and has special features that will help combat terrorism.Viewing this bike without the proper clearance,will be delt with accordingly........with IMMEDIATE CASTRATION,DEATH,OR BOTH.Death may be requested AFTER the castration if so desired!It has been rumored that some out there already have no balls..........so...........they will be delt with as follows.........IMMEDIATE CASTRATION of their MAN-GINIAS.........then DEATH!NOW,who wants to see Richies bike!!   | ||
| Thunder |
Special arrangements..Yeah right!! Hee Hee... Its killing Richie not to show it off!! LOOKS NICE!! Richie... Is it ORANGE enough ??  | ||
| S2scott |
Richie is that a new M&Ms color? | ||
| Richieg150 |
The ORANGE paint on the bike is a NATIONALLY recognized color that means CAUTION or STAY AWAY!The ORANGE POWDER COAT has some TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED additives that when a current is induced ,change the molecular composisition of the paint,and render the bike STEALTH or INVISIBLE !It can only be located with the most sophisticated radar the US GOVERNMENT now has.I was contacted by a gentleman that I will call.......MR.ANDERSON,about trying this new technology in the private sector. | ||
| S2scott |
Mr Anderson turned into an awful virus and then he died in the last instalment just in case you missed it, but is M&Ms going to make it a new color? edited by s2scott on January 20, 2004 | ||

Richie just doesn't want everyone to see all the Krylon spray paint cans laying around. Lets See.....Paint the bike.....  Huff the rest! LOL! Just Kidding! The bike looks Awesome! L8R, JM | ||

Hey Richie and Keef, I heard you were looking for me (ex- Buellmule). I traded the blast in for a XB9S low.  So of course I had to change my name. As you can see it's "Fiery XB". So is the KC Mob coming up for the "Buell Coming home" event in June? How things in KC town?  Fiery XB  formerly Buellmule | ||

I changed the battery on my bike with a brand spankin new one and....Same sh*t. I know the battery is good because the charger meter said it was at full charge. Bike still says code 16 low battery. Any Ideas that I can get into myself?? I still have warrantee so maybe I should just throw it on the truck and take it to Frank!! | ||
| X1db |
Newsletter was great!! Got to read up on all the stuff I didn't get to do last year because of mystery problems with my X1. Thanks to Frank I might venture further than shouting distance from the house this year!!! |
