Arrowhead did me right when I brought my XB9S in after I put the race kit in. They charged me $60.00 for the tweaking. |

Any other Queensryche fans out there? Also featured on the tour will be a unique charity auction. Erik Buell, of Buell Motorcycles, has offered to donate two custom Queensrÿche motorcycles for Geoff Tate and Mike Stone to ride throughout the tour. They will be inviting others to come out and ride with them and at the end of the tour. Both motorcycles will be auctioned off for VH1’s Save The Music Foundation. Count me in!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I am hoping to get tickets when I collect my first paycheck, the funds are just a tad too tight to get them right now. BTW, how's the new album? I haven't been able to get it yet. |

If you don't already have tickets for Phoenix then it's hello ticket scalper. SOLD OUT. The new record is pretty good. It's also a concept album like the first Operation Mindcrime. This time Nikki gets his revenge. I need to listen to it a few more times, but first impression is positive. Download it legally at allofmp3.com. for less than $3 at 320mp3 speed. |

Personally, I wouldn't recommend that ANYONE go to Chandler HD/B. Three weeks ago they had my bike for a week and didn't even fix it. They looked at it long enough to supposedly reset my TPS due to a idling problem I've been having for quite some time. Then I took it back last Tuesday and they haven't fixed anything or ordered anything. I can't even get someone to tell me exactly what seal is leaking oil. Not to mention that they are saying that there is nothing wrong with the front brakes even though they were fine on the Apr 6th ride and the next day they're shot (rotor's toast and the pads aren't yet gone). So on Monday I'll be on the phone to Buell ranting about the service I'm getting from them. Needless to say I'm quite pissed off at Buell AND H-D right now. I should have just bought a Honda... |

Hey Wycked...I've been thinking about doing the S to R front end conversion. If I end up going for it, could ya lend me a hand? |

sure, I might even have some of the parts laying around like the triple, key switch, fairing, and who knows what else. |

Oh well, I guess I will have to see them another time unless I can get for an out of town venue. |

Kelly, Give one of the other Stealerships in town a chance. I know Arrowhead might be a bit of a distance for ya to go to get a bike worked on, but hey, I was taking my bike all the way to Santa Fe to get worked on!!! Hacienda is just up the road from you... Good luck, and don't go to the dark side!!! |

wycked, how much did it cost you to have the stator replaced and how long did hacienda have it for? my stator is fried. checked per the service manuel and it's done.most likely me and my brother will do ourselves.i know they usually go out around 20k,mine has 17k on it.what was the mileage on yours when it failed? |

The wait was for the parts to be shipped since it had to come thru warranty and not the regular parts channel. You can not count mine as a normal failure, it was caused by a build up of fried clutch material causing arcing. It took about 2 hours to replace the clutchpack so should be about the same amount of time for the stator since you have to pull the same parts off, just remember, there is a new torque spec for the primary gear nut of 190ft/lbs not the 180ft/lbs listed in some of the manuals. You know Bart, you look a hell of a lot like Marty Feldman in that pic...at least you don't look like Frau Blucher ~NEEEIGH~ heh abynormal brains anyone? |

Well the girlfriend just completed an MSF course and now wants to buy a bike. Imagine my shock and heartbrake to hear her say " I want a Buell!" (Just kidding) Anyone know of someone selling a nice XB9S or XB12S (possibly low or CG) for cheap? |

Hey Kobie...what about an SV650 for Marcia? Plenty of them around for cheap. Get the standard, throw on an X-1 flyscreen, add a nice slip on, and she'd have a heck of a nice bike to learn on. Just a thought... |

Don't you still have an M2 sitting in the garage? or did it find a new home already? |
Warp2

Brian, I suggested two bikes for her. XBS and the SV 650. She likes them both. It will probably come down to which one fits better and is easiest to ride. Wicked, Bill finally took the M2 home and now it's for sale. |

I knew it was for sale, just not if it had sold yet or not, though I didn't realise you evicted it from the garage |
