Hey I have a question. Remember when we took that picture in front of the dealership of our BRAG chapter for Fuel. Whatever happened with that? Did it get sent to them? Did it get published or is it going to?? Does anyone have a copy of it??? I looked through the archives and I can't find it. (I'm talking about the one of us on our bikes) |

Tim Wilson, comedian, had this to say about Martha Stewart: "Boy, I feel safer now that Martha's behind bars. O.J. & Kobe are walking around, Scott Peterson's going to be soon, but they take the one woman in America willing to cook and clean and haul her @ss off to jail." |

Jmartz, I have no plans for this weekend as far as riding goes. If all goes well ... Sunday Meet up at Tooseys around 9.30-10.00. It will be two Triumph RAT packs and some friends of mine. I'm planning on breakfast in Little 5 before hand, probably Flying Biscuit around 7.30a. Everyone is invited whether for breakfast or the ride. TBS_Stunta (Larry) Tubers welcome? It's not what you ride... It's that you ride that's important. |

Man, I want to go. I don't know if I will be able to roll out of bed in time. I have a hockey game Saturday night at 10 and I will not get to bed until around 2AM. Oh, the sacrifices that I must make to enjoy my two favorite activities. I'll try my best but knowing me, I wouldn't put money on it. |

Good luck with the swap. You guys give the Formula Buell Pit Crew (FBPC) a run for its money. Take lots of pictures. |

Well the 'Swapping Party' was a success. I now have an XB9R- CG/L I'll post pictures later. It made a BIG difference and the bike looks really cool!!! Whoohoo, I can actually get the whole ball of my foot on the ground. The 2nd screw of the whole undertaking was the hardest. Someone put red quick tight in the screws for my front fender. Then Fran proceeded to burn his fingers on the screw head when he broke it off to get it out. So we got the hassle and the injury out of the way 1st thing. After that it was pretty smooth sailing. We didn't have to swap out the brake and clutch cables so that was nice but the kick stand gave Shred a hard time. He was hoping that he wouldn't have to take my exhaust off but he did. Fran tried and I mean tried to convince me that we had to swap pipes too but I didn't fall for that one.- Nice try Fran. Shred decided he HAD to test ride it and of course had to lift the front wheel up. Well the little bit we lowered it made all the difference and when he brought it back down he hit his leg on the ground- ouch!!! Didn't get him too bad, just enough he didn't do it again- with his leg in that same position. Hope you all had a good day |

The FBPC II did an awesome job, if do say so myself. I still think the race can on A4TR bike needs to be swapped out. Yes, I offered but, she's going to keep it for now. A4TR's bike really looks good. It makes me wounder why Buell hasn't offered a low/CG version of the R bikes. I know too many options can get confusing and be a pain in the ars for manufacturing and the dealers. Now it's time to get used to the higher ride which will be even a bit more higher when I get the standard seat, hopefully by Tuesday. Shred check if you have an extra tie down (black). Thanks again A4TR and Shred. |

Sounds killer! can't wait to see pics. Looks like FBPC II knows their shiznit. Can't believe UGA lost and I shouldn't be drinkin' and Postin' Atta boy Shred! A4TR....I believe that is "standard" Race Pipe and should be mounted only on a "standard" Bike. Looks like your gonna have to give it to Fran. Post pics please!

Black_sunshine... Can't believe UGA lost It is much easier to swallow when we get beat by a better team. Along4theride... You still have those gloves???? Yes mam. Odie and Glitch... Let's see some numbers!!! |

Stealth.....Auburn IMHO is the best team in the nation. Their play running dynamic is something you cannot defend. UGA was having to use their cornerbacks and safety to make the tackle because the line and back were either blocked or out of the picture. I think we will see Auburn vs. Oklahoma for national title bids. R.Brown hit scared me. I though for sure he was not going to get up. |

One unforeseen thing about the swap. I don't think it's a big deal but it was 'brought to my attention'. I have about 3-3 1/2 inches between my front faring and my fender. Sid in Parts said that I might have a problem front braking hard in a corner. I personally don't think I'll have a problem until I do a stoppie, which won't be ANY time soon. So whatcha guys think? Glitch- Hope you had fun Today and everyone rode safe. |

A4TR....I don't think that you have that much travel in the lowered shock. I could be wrong though. I was wrong once but I was mistakin. Sam12r...what time will the shindig be going down. I have commited for another such B-day party on said date. Maybe me and Chrissy can make it by either before or after our other party. By the way she still will not give in to a premature Drummer mounting. Maybe you guys can help if we make it over. Hint...hint..wink..wink..nudge...nudge! |
