it'll all be revealed in a chapter of 'I've Been Reminded to Tell You' and touched upon in the screen play 'Buell, the Mechanic', based on the book and staring Harrison Ford as Court. Mr. Buell has yet to be cast, but the trailer will open with "In a world filled with ordinary scooters...."

Maybe CGI could use Jerry Lewis as "The Nutty Professor" to play him? |

Yeah, and while they're at it, they could get Larry Fine from the Three Stooges to play the President of Yamaha Industries. |

I can't get this stupid City-X out of my head. I even have my license plate picked out.
CTY MOTO
I'd buy our first one out of the crate if it weren't 75% of the cost of one semester at UOP(acific). With only 3 semesters left I can't quite justify extraneous expenditures. In the interim, I'm going to try and convince Deanna that the first one out of the crate needs to be our demo. New bike, no payments, no insurance... who was it that said membership has its privileges?
One complaint though.. NO WALLPAPER!! How am I supposed to replace the 749Dark that's been on my desktop for 5 months now?

Welcome to the world of Buell....
BTW: Devote all resources to school...trust me, 3 semesters from now will be excellent timing! |

OK, it's over now.

CityX/Streetfighter/whatever - when I'd had my X1 for a week I thought "1200cc supermotard with the balance shaft taken out - yeehaa!". And an XB9 would be just as much fun. Knowing Buell owners, there will be lots of parts swapping going on between XB9SX/XB12S/XB9R/XB12R in the next 12 months to make the bikes what their owners want...
I think the tyres are cool... sort of like old Michelin Hi-Sports crossed with dual-sport tyres... look like they'd clear water really well...
Yellow ROCKS!
That's another 2 cents from me, just for the hell of it, cheers,

btw: three semesters time... Court, do you know something we don't???

That sure would look cool, but no way would you have "just an M2." I owned an M2 and put 17k miles on it before selling it to get my XB12R. The M2's only advantage is that it's more comfortable- that's it. An XB12 destroys the M2 in any other category you can think of.
Comfortable is a good thing. Try doing 250 miles on an XB with luggage and a passenger! As far as the XB12 destroying the M2 in every other catagory, I am not sold on that. My M2 does everything I ask it to, and I still think it has a much more timeless look of the true naked streetfighter. (and no TPS to reset!) |

I have shown the pics of the CityX to my 20 something stepsons...they like it also. Of course, whether this translates into any sales remains to be seen. It does suggest that Buell may be onto something.
If it supposed to appeal to young urban males, I must be twisted as hell, being a 40 something guy who lives in the sticks.  I think the CityX would cut a pretty cool profile in the mountain twisties around here. The other day when a black bear crossed the road in front of me, I was thinking.... Man I sure wish I had a grill on my headlight and handguards on the Harley 
I'm beginning to think I should have held onto my XB9 service manual and my Buell tail bag.... bet Dave will sell me another one. He'd probably like to sell me a bike too... 
...and the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound of the low spark of high heeled boys  |

Yes Buell will be bring out a new model just like Lawn Boy,Cessna,GM and Ford.Am I getting it right Court Mate?Standard answer.Suits me just fine at the rate I am going at the moment I might be needing to replace the factory tyres by then and what an excuse for a trade in. |

Okay.....I'm laughing out load. Pal yesterday, Hayabusa dude, is laughing at the grill guards.
I didn't have a comeback until he got in his Range Rover to leave. Looks like he is headed on Safari...Paid like $85K for this thing with grill guards on about every light and a front end that looks like you could push start a D-9 Caterpillar.
I rest Buells case. |

I'd not only love to sell you another service manual but let's not stop there. How about a trip to Wisconsin to pick up the bike?

quote:Jim Capaldi started writing this in Morocco, where he was getting ready for a movie with actor Michael J. Pollard that never got made. Said Capaldi: "Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level."

Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away
You're looking at me, I've got nothing to say
Don't make me angry with the games that you play
Either lightCLUNCK! up or leave me alone
You walk in my room, you lie in my bed
You open your mouth, shoot someone dead
All of a sudden you're inside my head
Either lightCLUNCK! up or leave me alone
Spending my bread like it grew on a tree
You're trying to tell me 'bout the birds and the bees
The skirt that you're wearing is way past your knees
Either lightCLUNCK! up or leave me alone
You're up all night preaching your mind
Come home in the morning with your latest find
I'm gonna have to lay it to you straight on the line
Either lightCLUNCK! up or leave me alone |

I can replace the CD's. The vinyl comes with me in a fire.
Riddle me this on musical Buellers....why, pray tell, did Dave Loggins' (no relation to Kenny) "Please Come to Boston" never make it to a CD. Let's be Frank (inserting Michael Frank's "Art of Tea" joke), "Apprentice in a Musical Workshop" may be not only one of the better recordings of all time artistically (no, I can't prove it) but, in addition, it is likely one of the cleanest examples of vinyl pressing even done.
In those days, I was in the habit of buying, cleaning with the discwasher, playing with the cassette rolling, packing the vinyl back up and storing it away.
Anyone got a "Last Poets" left ?
I love music.

Yea Court i did the same thing. I have over 800 albums and most of them have only been played a couple of times. Many have been played just once.I got some old Beatle albums that are mint along with the first Hendrix record some Miles Davis ,Plenty of Trane, all the old Crimson stuff,and a rare Japanese import Allan Holdsworth album. I don't have any Traffic though although my collection I had in the 70s did.

Fits '03-later XB models (except '04 Lightning Low XB9S and '05 XB12CG).
So just what is a XB12CG????? |

I Believe it is the replacement "Low" bike. "Center of Gravity". I guess they didn't want a bike called the XB9"SLow"

That CityX is really sticking in my brain...but it really needs a coat of flat black over everything with the offset racing stripe, I'm thinking a nice matte white (but then again, maybe that's just me ;^D ) |
