38yrs. 6'1 280lbs. USA White Limited energy Electrician First Bike:1977 Honda Gl1000(Gold Wing)pre fairing 1st Buell Other Brands, that I've owned the Big Jap 4 bought XB in '04 own a couple of bikes Top Speed on a bike, My old Busa/mcexpress Turbo 200mph + Top Speed on a Buell what ever there top speed is 130ish not a very comfortable 130 from what I'm use too. Nearest Buell Dealer 1/4mi. away. I like them but their service dept.is CLUELESS when it comes to XB's. Single/engaged O children I've been fixed. I bought a Buell because I like the looks of the XB, I wanted to try something different. I wasn't expecting it to be fast or powerful so I wasn't disappointed in that department,Handling is comparable to a sportbike. I just like things that are different. I don't have brand loyalty, I guess it's because I don't get endorsed by the factory.(No Harley Tattoo's, but plenty of others) I buy my bikes and I expect something from my purchase. The Buell definitely has character and I like that. It's fun. Have many Guns/permit to carry Christian,but could do a better job at it. Politics, Right smack in the middle, Both parties right now are leaning way too the left and way too the right for me. (Message edited by Team on March 29, 2005) |
