Well, to provide some laughter to Brian... went for a ride today and low-and-behold- no problems. Bike has yet to let me down (besides the flasher relay from me smashing wires).

Installed the race kit a week or so ago and I think I make the HD guys I pull up to at the traffic lights jealous, so to aid their jealousy I quickly wheelie out of sight.

Got lost coming back from the dealer, it's only 40 miles away, but the autobahns are very unforgiving if you miss your exit. Ended up slicing through traffic for 5-6 hrs trying to find my way home, enroute I was caught up to by a KTM who gave me a "thumbs-up" and quickly dropped into riding formation for about 40-50 miles.

Maintaining the bike, although I only have around 2K on it; has been very clean. I did everything myself, with the help of Daves for the supplies,except the TPS Reset (which I got lost on my way back from).

Anyways... Ride365 - buying a Buell is like a Snickers/Nike commercial. Why wait, buy a Buell-Just Do It!

Brian, you didn't get lost, you just took the scenic route home ;) (At least that's the story I tell my wife)

No, it was Kyle that took the scenic route home.

He was trying to amuse me and ride365 with the story;)

Man did I get lost, and it's costly to get lost here... damn gas on the economy sucks. Ended up paying 20 or 30 Euro for a fill up of super premium benzei.

It wouldn't have been bad, except I didn't have the GPS with me, and it wasn't the scenic route, it was the autobahn.

Alright, going to bed, got a ride planned tomorrow with the brother-in-law, hopefully another trouble free day tomorrow too.

Take Care All,
Ride Safe,
Kyle

I wasn't trying... it worked. But anyways, that's what happened... I really did get lost,and it sucked. What was supposed to take 2-3 hrs max (TPS Reset + travel time) ended up taking somewhere around 6hrs due to my misdirection.
