Hello everybody,
Just met Buellj79 a couple of days ago at Chandler Harley-Davidson and decided I should check out this board. Sounds like you've all had some fun rides. Soon as I'm able I hope to join y'all on some. I just bought my first Buell about a month ago and trying to learn how to keep it look'in good and running. Also since I'm relatively new to ridding anybody have a class/school you could recommend?
Thanks! : D

Malleus,

Welcome. Hit a track day at Firebird. There's one coming up in October. Hopefully we'll meet when I come out next month...

M1,

What freakin' route did you take to Vegas!!! It's only 4.5 hours from Yuma! Should have been about the same from flag... You had to have gone way out of your way somehow.

Hey all!
Carey and myself had a great ride to Prescott today. We ended up running the spars 4 times!! We also paid a visit to a local resident of Prescott Don(M1COMBAT) good seeing you Don. We did miss James and his buddy, what happened James? I believe Bill crossed our path, was that you Bill? We were on the two bikes before Wilhoit, red firebolt and a matte ninja. Anyways those who could'nt make it, you were missed but there will be plenty more riding
in the near future.

JUST A REMINDER: The meet and greet ride for our new club will be this weekend starting at Signal Butte and Southern north of the freeway at the Mobil 6-6:30am, if you cant make the ride your more than welcome to stop by for a BBQ provided by Chandler HD/BUELL from 11 TO 1PM. hope to see some new and familiar faces.
Here's some pics from todays ride.

Are you planning on going to salt river canyon at 6:30 and then back to CHD by noon for lunch? Is that a doable time frame? I'm at least an hour from your start/finish point, plus an hour or two for lunch makes it a full day for me. I guess I'm on the maybe list.

I mostly took my time on the way there (smoking at every fuel stop along with chugging down some water or gatorade wtc...

On the way there I went through Kirkland junction and then towards Baghdad then North on 93. I rode over the Hoover damn both ways and on the way back went through Congress instead of by Baghdad.

It was dark on the way back so I just stuck to a little over the speed limit. The spars are fun at 10:00 after 11 hours of riding and walking around Vegas...

After looking at maps.google.com it looks like it would have probably been a bit quicker to go up to ashfork and the west on 40.

Carey,
Jeremy and I sat on the Uly at Arrowhead last friday. Neither one of us could flat foot it. That thing is a monster! I think it's taller than the BMW GS and the Duc Multistrada. Does the Ninja fit ya ok? Seems like it would be little cramped.

Gee...that sounds familiar...though my bike isn't running yet. I still am not sure if we will make the BBQ but it doesn't mean I am not going to try.

Hi everyone. It's my first post here on BWB. It's about time someone decided to start up a BRAG here in AZ. I've had my CityX since March and I haven't found anyone to ride with. That is until I went to the Ride the Rockies event. Which for those few of you who went know it was a great time with lots of curves.
Anyway, what's the plan on Saturday? Are you leaving at 6am to ride to the canyon and back and then have lunch and Chandler? If so I'll definitly be there. But I think we'll have to leave no later than 6am in order to get there and back by lunch.

Wyckedflesh.... lol. I just got home a decided to check the boards. Turns out that Cycle Gear off country club was still open and I was able to get a nice jacket and boots. I'm so sad. I really missed riding. Tomorrow I'll be going by Chandler H-D to get some gloves and I should be set. I'll call you tomorrow Jeremy to find out the details for Saturday. Hope to see you all there! BTW Hello Snottsdale! Welcome to the club!

It didn't come out so good and should have waited to get another pic like I wanted to. You could hardly read it, must have been the window.

Bill: I don't think there is a double time frame, with the group it should be right on the money for ride time and getting back before 11. We are going to hang out a little bit once we get up to the canyon.

Snottsdalebueller: Did'nt I meet you at Chandler once in the afternoon? I had the Lightning with a black w/ tribal design paint job and the D&D pipe.

BuellJ79: Yeah that was me. I haven't done anything to the City X yet. To much $$$ going to other things like the Rockies trip. But I'll be there on Sat. I'm about to pick up my pics from the trip and I'll put up a few that turn out. See ya then, K

Anybody wanting info on this weekends ride or future rides feel free to give me a ring.
