Uh, Sunday? Uh, hmmm, let's see, nope. I was on I-43 for a bit on Sunday though. There's a couple of pearl white S2's in the region, mine's the unwashed one - just ask a certain someone who works at an un-named place. I did wash the gas seepage off the tank cover Sunday morning though, so it's a little cleaner now. |

Glad to see that my S2 is not the only one with a little gas seepage issue. I swear I see more Tubers around now then when they were in production. |

Doughnut, A lot of tubers are being sold on the used market, and cheap. It seems the 2nd owners just ride 'em more Hell, the 2 tubers we bought(both '98 S3Ts), had 9,600 and 6,200 miles on 'em. That relates to 1583, and 1033 miles each a year. Even my commutes, and one crud run, I've racked up about 3K on mine this year. My brother, probably more, since he's got a MUCH farther commute. The only casulty so far was one broken stock header. Which, luckily, my bike came with the stock one, along with the "race" pipe. Parts are also going pretty cheap on ebay. That is, if you keep a VERY close on on Buell stuff. I've got a complete replacement body now, for a total of $160. And another extra fairing. An extra set of inner bags, and a set of small outer bags, to go along with my big set. I plan on painting the new body work, Mr Yuk green, and silver leaf the Buell logos on it this winter, maybe Along with pulling some molds of the originals, so I can re-produce the parts out of carbon fiber. The raw materials are finally at the point, where it's not *THAT* expensive to make the stuff. It's the initial tooling costs that cost the extra $$$ if you don't have in-house resources(which I just happen to have, working in a tool/die/moldmaking shop ) Even bought a complete set of body parts for my Wife's blast, in purple. For $75 shipped. It's now going to be the one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater Okay, I've rambled enough now... I gotta learn to not have so much caffine before I post

Tell me about it. So far, we've bought 2 S3Ts, 1 Blast, and one XB9r this year alone. |

What kind of darts are you using? Just curious. I assume you're doing the serious stuff with the professional dart boards, balanced heavy darts, measured line on the floor, scorekeeping, all that stuff.

The name has a few meanings, the cop thing just being one. You gotta be able to laugh, even at yourself. |

Yep, we're in Col Hart's dart leaque, but we're not real good (we're the only girl team in the leaque and it's really just an excuse to drink beer !! As a matter of fact, we're so bad we won't even use our real names, we use our dart stage names, Candy, Coconut, Cherry, Cookie, and Cool Whip (sub) !! She's just afraid CJ |

I still wont guarantee I'll be there. But I think it would be fun But who's gonna ride my bike home if I drink? Yeah, like that's gonna happen. I'm a cheap date, and know I don't drink enough to EVER drink when I've got the bike, unless Mountain Dew counts |

They all played a great game. There was good beer, and good friends. They all did their best at darts and I was very proud of them. It was not about who won or lost, but just having a good time. No one really looks at the score. }This message approved by CJ |

Candy, Coconut, Cherry, Cookie, and Cool Whip Candy, Coconut, Cookie, and Cherry, and then even cupcake and Caramel showed up Let's see, Candy Candy, Coconut Coconut, Cookie Cookie, Cherry Cherry, Caramel showed up later, so if I figure right that would mean CJ = Cool Whip? (Oh man is this going to get me into trouble....) |
