Dude 6 years? How did you get thru it? I went nuts the last time we had 6 days of constant nonstop thunderstorms, and then i ended up riding in it anyway. |

In 2001 I sold the 98 S1 and bought: 2001 GSXR 1000 and a 2001 TL1000R The TL was much like the Buell, power wise. However... it was a PAIN in the butt to turn and handle... It was SOOO heavy in the corners.. that i just did not like it. I kept the GSXR 1000 till about a year ago... I was at the time a Police Officer for the City Dept here... and well with 6 days ON and 3 days off... court scheduled on the 3 days off.... I NEVER had time to ride. About 8 months ago.. I swapped over to the STATE (University Police Dept). We work the Panama (12 hr) schedule and i have a TON!!!! of time off. Plus about 7 people at the Dept ride EVERY DAY. I had been looking for those 8 months to find a Buell... Lucked out and found one in ATLANTA GA... not tooo far from me.. Drove up and hauled her back. Had about 3 weeks to get her NICE and CLEAN... I was involved in a HEAD ON collision during that time.. breaking 2 ribs and a BUNCH of bruises and aches... Still healing... but get ALOT better. Finally a couple days ago.. I got to ride.. I was a tad sore after wards but... no biggie.... My body cant take REAL long rides due to it still healing up.. but she looks great in the garage. Now... I am starting to look to ADDING a S3T to the house as well.. but just looking for the RIGHT one with LOW miles and GREAT condition. *** welll.... i gotta take a nap.. I am on MIDNIGHT shift through the weekend. See yall.. and BE SAFE RIDING OUT THERE. Matt (LEO SOUTH GA.) |
