well she pretty much did most the filming that day but yea.. no I havnt taken it down yet. I need to call Paul. I don't wanna loose 2 weeks to get it all done hahah I don't think I would make it that long without a "fix". Plus there are a couple more details I am gonna be doing with it all that I have to do at the same time. Which means I need a few more $$ other wise I won't be able to put it back together. So I'm kind of on pause with the project. I want to see how my cash flow works out after this week and if I can make it I will order the parts and take it apart this weekend. I am sure I will go ride with them again this weekend you wanna go with? or are you out of town again?? Monday night we didn't ride any dirt it was all street it just varies what they end up doing, we went to a skate park that was pretty crazy.. How was your umbrella drinks btw??

I made a Mach 2 run to Tulsa on the X1W Monday evening, left KC at 5:15, pulled into Tulsa at 9:25, delivered a valuable object to my friend's daughter (she left her left hand softball mitt at our house over the weekend and had a big game Tuesday night) Drove over to Fayetteville Arkansas on Tuesday morning, checked out some real nice custom homes a freind of mine is building, had a nice visit, then Wed morning, I rode back to KC from Fayetteville. Bike ran great, but the seat is definately a medievel torture device. The move to a Mexican Restraunt on Shawnee Mission Pkwy is better, but still a long way from being convienient for me. If they have decent Chilie Rellenos and table salsa, I can make an exception |

Did it tweak the rod too???looks like the valve guide got taken out too but pictures can be deceiving.....did it score the cylinder wall? If the connecting rod isn't hurt or the cylinder then all you need is a head and a piston w/rings and a few gaskets and oh yea' LOCK TITE by Permetex |

They may be confusing the XB9S and XB12S "Lightning" model name with the old pre-Thunderstorm "Lightning" heads. Maybe not familiar with the older ones? |

Das, the open house has opened at 9am in the past. I am leaving home at 7:55 friday when the kids bus departs. I have found that on Friday you can get 4-5 demo rides in. Saturday is much more crowded. Remember the new meeting place |

I went to the HD Plant Open House Friday morning, rode a Super Glide Sport which I did not like at all, and a Road King Tour which I now need to figure out a way to buy, it was sweet. I had patches with me, saw some Buells parked there, but never met any Buell riders to pass them out. I will be at Bikers For Babies and will have patches with me. T Shirts are on hold, my silk screen guy is sick in the hospital having his gall bladder removed. Hat design and 10" patches in the works |

Hey Rusty, I got in line to register at 9, which took till 10, then the first Buell was available at 2pm. They had 4 Buells there, but were using 2 of them as escorts, leaving only 2 for customers to ride! I went to the Touring line but it was fifty deep and about 1 person was moving every 10 minutes. Came home. Did it seem as if less bikes were available than in the past? The lines were long by 10am. |

I will try to be on Talladega Drive at the KC NASCAR track waiting for the BFB gate to open a little before 8am. I am prepaid entry so I hope to get out there with a minimum of hassles tomorrow morning. Looking forward to getting to see a bunch of Buells in one place at one time. |

Paul, all systems are go! I repeat all systems are go! Frame and parts are ready for sand blasting/priming and painting. Awaiting further instructions. Over. P.S. All - My wife was out bid on a blast this weekend, she is looking but the price needs to be low. If you got a lead on one let me know. She is looking for under $2k. Thanks in advance! |
