Thanks to H-D Australia I got my hands on a TT this afternoon. Ain't we got fun: A few before and after I stickered it up. If it was mine it would be no13 and have big rat finks on it. As it is it cost me $3 and my publisher will love it. Some folks just don't 'get it' - 'it's got big ugly plates on the side' they told me. Sigh - whatta ya do! I had a great Friday afternoon 'Urban Assaulting'. Laneways, alleys, ramps, jumps, outstanding. I was freelance exploring - riding up every nook I could find and came across an empty skate park. I Soooo 'get' this bike. Rather looking forward to the Autumn. Take one to a skate park if you can.          'What do you want to do when you grow up, Dave?'

so, any difference in this and the lighting. | ||

>>so, any difference in this and the lighting.<< Aaack - A std lightning is the only one I haven't ridden to compare it to. I think tyres/tires, guards, and cosmetics. Diggin it. Got a 300km ride on tomorrow - will take my Uly - this thing is great around town - average height rider would be comfortable longer than my kness last. Seat is quite high - so are the pegs. Leg room isn't huge like the Uly. Feels more stable at speed tho. | ||

I want to see some video of that bike scaring the kids at the skate park, carving and shredding some of the whoopdees.... That would be so much fun  | ||
| Danger_dave |
Didn't think! - I had this 'Wall of death' sideshow fantasy thing happening. | ||
| Danger_dave |
>> Hey. . does this bike LOVE to be airborne or what?<< Surely you don't think I would be that irresponsible and reckless do yo.........yeah - doesn't it. 5,500rpm is its happy place. | ||

Man . . . that TT and the Skate Park . . . does that BEG to be a Buell advertisement or what? I'm having a "3D BattleTrax" fantasy. . . | ||
| Az_rider |
That bike looks great with the number stickers. Who would have thunk that $3.00 would turn a bike described by so many as ugly, in to the cool looking bike it is! | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Those are some amzing pictures! That bikes looks huge next to me... Not so much next to you.  | ||

Very cool stuff, as usual for the danger man. Thanks beaucoup for sharing Dave. | ||

when you get into survival mode, there is no telling what your able to do there. good effort, sorry the outcome was different. | ||
| Danger_dave |
taa - seem to have drifted off topic - how unlike a dd thread. I gave the it the berries over some great roads today.  Outstanding. Just outstanding. And the 'if it was mine' photoshop thing:  | ||

The buell that everyone hated.... I think the tide is turning. Heck the side plates are even growing on me. | ||
| Ceejay |
DD-cool pics! looks like you should have some advert bucks coming yer way... | ||
| Danger_dave |
Not really. I figure if folks are good enough to let me use the bikes i should share the good fortune - and posting here will have no impact on Kiwi Rider sales. FWIW the Buell advertising here is first rate at the moment. Double page spreads inside cover with the 'Logic' pitch. Real noice. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Well, if you would tell us some way to subscribe, maybe we can fix that! Many times I can find some foreign magazines at big book store chains... you have any deals with Borders or Barnes and Noble? | ||

Actually . . . "Down Under" has long been a hot bed of Buell activity. As I'm sure D2 will attest Aus-Zealanders have an unbridled passion for things 2-wheeled that only the Italians approach. There's a reason that Buell went to Australia for the track-based intro of the S1WL and, at least in my book, that's still the coolest Buell poster ever. . . "Take one for a Test Prowl" . . love it! I'd love a chance to snag a copy of Kiwi Rider. Just think how they'll react when they find out their USA audience has grown as a result of their Buell coverage. ! Cool | ||
| Ceejay |
See what I'm sayin' now you got two more readers... ha, ha, ha...basically I was meaning that you seem to have an eye for a good foto-That TT in skate park looks as if it should be a broucure... | ||
| Danger_dave |
Yes - I should have said 'No adverse effect'. I get half a doz promotional copies. Be happy to send you guys one when the Buell articles come out. email me where you would like one dispatched. dd | ||
| Danger_dave |
Those first lot of pics have vanished temporarily - sorry - exceeded 5gb of downloads - and have been switched off by .mac till the 16th. I'll 'borrow' some bandwidth elsewhere for the next lot. dd | ||

>>Many times I can find some foreign magazines at big book store chains... you have any deals with Borders or Barnes and Noble?<< 'Gordon & Gotch' are the distributors. I'll ask next time I see the rep. and check with the Publisher too. www.kiwirider.co.nz has subscription details. thanks and see above offer dd |
