Track day at heartland park yesterday did not go so well. I am all right and the bike is alright, but I woke up this morning still reeling from what I learned yesterday, and still confused by it. I'll throw a write up here somewhere. got a new nick name....."soil SAMple" hahahaha I got a lot to do today, hope you guys are having a good weekend, happy father's day to whom appropriate, and we are grilling again this afternoon, hope to see you here. | ||

SAM,whats up with that?A post like that needs more explaining!Who cares about the bike,its a THING,youre ok thats what counts! | ||
| Shazam |
the bike has a broken footpeg and scratches on the plastic I wound up with a severely bruised ego. nothing more. ignorance really.....something I had never experienced, anticipated, or expected in all my years of motorcycling, kept sending me out to pasture. I can tell you the cause and cure in two words each, but it will be much better reading if I run through my day from the beginning.... It was terribly frustrating....and funny all at the same time......more frustrating than funny....until everybody who stopped by made it laughable.....you get the point. I'm sure they were all proud to have me representing Buell! | ||
| Dustyjacket |
So, when do we get the story? | ||
| Shazam |
I'll try to get it up today.... | ||
| Dustyjacket |
Hmmmmm....... | ||

"Cialis....So "If a relaxing moment turns into the right moment, you can be ready" Sam's it's good that you can talk about it in public like this.  | ||
| Shazam |

| Shazam |

did I miss the meeting? or is it tomorrow... I think I missed it, Damn! | ||
| Dustyjacket |
last week..... you are the one that was elected to bring refreshments to the next meeting.... | ||
| Gowindward |
Sam, It was last week. It was a pretty small turn out. I think there was seven people there. | ||
| Shazam |
I should look at a calendar more often, I certainly didn't mean to be absent..... Well, at least I won't show up there tomorrow to a "NO" turnout..... | ||
| S1lightning |
HA, the only meeting Loren goes to and 7 show, HAHAHA Now that's funny!! | ||
| Dustyjacket |
They have an S3 at Gail's now. Kind of a fixer-upper, but we'll see what it looks like when the service department gets done with it. I have a question: Other than stripping the bike, what does it take to get a tuber's frame and wheel powder-coated ($$$) and about how long should it take? (A week? 2? 3? ....) | ||
| Shazam |
2 weeks - $200 | ||
| Richieg150 |
Dusty,it all depends on who is doing the powder coating and what color you are wanting.Will the person doing the powder coating do all the prep work of having the frame bead blasted?Is your powder coating going to be a 1 or 2 step process?Sams 2 weeks COULD be close to correct for a time frame,but the $200 dollars could be WAY off,it could cost you $400 or more depending on alot of the above things. | ||
| Dustyjacket |
Thanks. After some serious soul searching, I've decided that I'll never really be happy with the S3. Too many things that are different from what I want. I would put lots of time and money into it, and still not be quite happy. Darn. I really like the way the tubers look. | ||
| Shazam |
there's an X1 white lightning in Edwardsville for sale $6995 with 704 miles on it. | ||
| Richieg150 |
Sorry to hear that Dusty.The S3 is an fantastic machine.If your looking for a two up touring Buell,thats all there is.Its a dependable,comfortable,SPORT TOURING MACHINE!You can get them,reasonably priced now also,alot less than they were new,BUT like new,or hardly even ridden. OH and by the way........I LIKE THE WAY THE TUBERS LOOK ALSO! | ||

What was the title of that motorcycle book we saw at the last meeting? Was it from the Motorcycle Museum, or what? I would like to see if I can get a copy on-line. |
