Hey Nicholas.......I can help you switch them tires. You will need to work your way to Uxbridge tho.
Jim you should just bolt that Tire machine in MY shed for safe keeping...
Have you mounted/dismounted a tire with it yet? If so Was it E-Z'er than my Bar?  |

Hey Eric, if I can get those tires quicker than slow, what day would you be available? My buddy would probably let me borrow his trailer to yank it down to Uxbridge... |

Nick when you get them let me know, we can get em' done in short time...
No need for a trailer if you just bring the tires/rims.
If Trailering may as well just ride it down. I have a couple tools kickin around, I think I can find a chisel and hammer to get the bike apart... |

You don't think it will look funny riding down w/ a 180 on one shoulder and a 120 on the other? I just don't have stands for the bike yet to hold her up while i'm gone... lame excuse but I am still real new to this... Oh different topic too... I saw you took off the airbox cover... so i tried it yesterday... just for S&G's can i damage her doing that? |

Eric can get away with it because not only does he know his way around a wrench, but he's batshit crazy.
And I don't think anybody's riding. Sure doesn't sound like it. After the 500 mile, 16 hour marathon we pulled last weekend I think everybody needs a break from each other.

Well,HERE'S "the Barn" at the site of the old Abraham Manchester's restaurant.A little pricey for the Crabcake eggs benedict but good food.I plan on being there at 8:30-8:45 and hope to seat outside. Nate? Come out for a ride? |

Aaah, you guys are making me jealous. Tomorrow I'm looking forward to a full day of housecleaning and other domestic duties. And I'd kill for a crabcake benedict.
I guess I can take an exciting ride to Walmart for some more tub & tile cleaner. Have fun. And if your route takes you near Bellingham, the coffee's on me.
Tear it up, NEBO. |

jimmy that camera doesn't seem shakey the only thing we'll have to address is the windsceen a lot of glare and scratches.....but it will be cool to take on rides.
any of you guys interested in my lightning low seat? i've only put a couple hundred miles on it so its brand new. i'm thinking $50.00 i like the seating position but after last weekends ride my legs were just way to kinked up..so im going back to my stock cityx seat. |

Once the video was compressed and uploaded it wasn't so bad but watching it on my TV wasn't the greatest. I was playing with it earlier and it seems if I zoom in with it on the bike it looks "through" the screen and you can't see the defects in my stocker. I have to test run it though. |

Hey guys, off topic but maybe you all would know, are there any Buell dealerships in the new england area who offer demo rides or do they all. I figure I should ride something before I purchase just to make sure (like I really need to ride a Buell to know I want one, ha). Thanks in advance. |

demo ride ha ha ha ha........good luck. i wanted to demo my city before i bought it back in '06. went to my dealer in april and was told maybe they could schedule something for late august or early sept. so good luck.........maybe you could get the nebo crew together and demo all of our bikes we have a better selection than any of the dealers anyways!!!!!!!! |

hey eric you are running the jardine right? did mine a couple of weeks ago and was pretty happy with it but when we went on the ride last weekend my bike stalling at stops alot and running not so good. when i got home i noticed a had some pretty bad leaks around they header and L pipe because of the crappy little clamp jardine ssupplied. yesterday i took it all apart sealed it up and replaced that clamp with the stock buell clamp and no more leaks and the bike seems to run way better. is it all in my head or could the exhaust leak before the pipe really have been killing the performance... it seems like i got all my low end back with the leak corrected. |

Yup any leaks in the headers/exhaust will cause a bike to run Not So Good. |

We had one "Free-for-all" with myself,Nate,and Tripp tearing up them Westport twisties. |

I was the old fat guy out back on the slow azz X1. Is it so wrong to cruise/putter along enjoying the seanery on such a fine nice rideing day wilest riding on a Buell? Good to see Tripp, its only been 4 years or so since our paths first crossed. |
