Hey guys... I wanted to introduce myself since I've been stalking the site for months.
My name is Brian Mullins, everyone calls me "Tuna". I have been road racing with WERA since 2009 on about a dozen different bikes. I have done rather well on smaller displacement bike and hope to continue that this year on my newly purchased 1125R.
I am running the entire WERA National schedule this season as I did last year on an SV650. I built my 1125 from a street bike at my shop here in Cincinnati. It's bare bones, nothing fancy in the way of performance. Just a solid bike. I just finished my first round at Roebling Road Raceway near Savannah and I had a blast. I will make a lot of small changes before I head to Talladega next month.
I want to throw out a big thanks to Pat Mooney and Tim Ivanoff for all the texts/calls and help they have offered while I've been buying and building this bike.
Here are some pics of the finished bike in action.

An 1125?? Really?? You could have at least bought a "real" Buell with an air cooled lump!!! LOL
J/K Good luck!! I'll see you at Road Atlanta. Though I race an XB, I still might be able to help you with some Buell stuff.

I'm in Lebanon, just up I-71.
Keep us up to date on the 1125 effort! I don't know what your areas of expertise are, but if you need any electronics / electrics help, feel free to ping me. I'll be happy to do what I can. |

I run a bike shop in Avondale. I actually live in Norwood. If I find myself in a spot I will shoot a PM. Thanks.
I will be sure to keep things updated FirstBuell. |

Tuna,
I still pilot the Buell, but can normally only afford 2-3 race weekends a year. JGP and the June Road Atlanta are my main choices with the GNF a maybe. If I can afford it I may hit RRR.
I really want to get to Tally, Barber and NOLA some day. |

Hey Tuna, I'll be heading your way to run a track day at Mid Ohio in June. It's a fun track. I run an 1125R as well. There will be a few of us there. |
