Buell Forum » Quick Board Archives » Archive through August 30, 2007 » Cycle World Wants to see your Bikes! « Previous Next »

Hey Bad Weathermen (and ladies)!

Cycle World.com needs photos of custom Buells for an upcoming website feature. It's a great opportunity to show off your customized Buell to the Cycle World community, plus the best bike (judged by our online forum users) gets an item of CW swag! Shipped to your door! What could be better?

If you're interested, please adhere to these simple rules that some of the Hayabusa people didn't seem to get so well:

Please send horizontally-oriented .jpg files that are under 1 meg. No more than 3, please! Please, no nudity (well, you can send them, but I won't put them on the site), obscenity, etc. The bike should be prominent in the frame.

Also send me 1-3 sentences with your name, age, where you live and what you did to the bike. We're interested in customized bikes; a mild paint job and a pipe is not a customized bike! Good spelling and grammar is always appreciated by overworked, underpaid editors.

Please do not send anything after August 24th. Email your photos to getshokin@hfmus.com.

Also, I'm pretty impressed with your forum here. It makes me want to get a Buell. Well, that and being able to wheelie in my driveway.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing your bikes.

RT,it was indeed my red one. I was captivated by Brankin's posting of the Black S-2 that was custom built at the factory and had to have one. I got home from Al's American Sport Bike BBQ last year and reduced the bike to components by the next morning. You got the engine, I had all the black parts done and waiting. The engine is from last years Bonneville bike.There is not alot left stock after 12 years of ownership.
I sent in a couple of my racebike build,see what they think of that Buell.

BTW, is this Gabe that worked for Derbi West, I bought the Derbi 50 that my son raced at Bonneville?

I'll tell ya . . . there is just something about and S-2!

I'll be writing about the S-2, which has turned into quite a project since it was the "transition" bike, next Tuesday. I'd love to have some of those high res pics.

Incidentally, if it is of interest, there were so many "special" Buells that have built at the factory (talk of the special "all black" (one of several special "all blacks" including the one for KD)) make me think that "factory customs" may warrant their own chapter.

I also like the wheels on the Fireman's black bike. . . you guys amaze me!

Maybe mention to Erik we'd like to see some new "Factory Specials". Maybe an orange frame with black bodywork to kick it old school on a new XB. Maybe a carbon Uly or TT? How about a RSS version of the new 1125? Those colors were astounding.
