Author Message   Cmgaviao Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 03:42 pm:        a friend of mine pointed me to a slew of websites about guys/girls riding their bikes around the world...For the most part, they seem to be bmw's. Anyone know of anyone doing this type of thing on a Uly? http://www.worldrider.com http://www.lowerider.ca   Dragon_slayer Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 06:44 pm:        I am planing a trip to the nearest WHITE CASTLE to load both saddlebags up with Jalapeno Sliders and breakfast sandwiches. WISH ME LUCK!   Dennis_c Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 07:12 pm:        dragon after you fill up on sliders are you going to fill your gas tank up with you sitting on it   Stevenknapp Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 07:47 pm:        Someone on advrider took it to Baja and back. I honestly don't see the Uly as being the ideal "around the world" bike. It's a sportbike that can do some dirt. Not the other way around. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is a bad thing.   Crusty Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 08:31 pm:        WHITE CASTLES!!! You lucky bastid! It's about 800 miles to the nearest White Castle from here. I love/hate those little gas producers.   Snub13 Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 09:18 pm:        Slayer doesn't need any help producing gas...   Az_m2 Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 09:23 pm:        I got a 6,000 mile trip planned in early August. Can't wait.   Scary_mc Posted on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 11:41 pm:        I did a 3600 mile trip over a week last month. Is that "major"?   Cygnus_x1 Posted on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 - 01:24 am:        I did the Baja on mine. The story is in Tale Section. Cant wait to do it again! Wanna go?   Crusty Posted on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 - 04:57 am:        I've got a major trip planned for late July/early August. Massachusetts to Glacier Nat'l Park via Niagara Falls, Lake Superior, Appleton, WI and Mt. Rushmore. If time and money permit, we'll duck over to the left coast and see the Castle Rock TT. Then we'll beat it home. I'm really looking forward to this.   Thunderbox Posted on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 - 09:04 am:        1st June I'm off to the east coast of Canada and back. Should be about 5500 miles. Did that distance on my 02 M2 last year and now I have a lot better bike for that kind of trip. I'm doing this one 2 up and I don't have any reservation at all....Ulys rock.   Cmgaviao Posted on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 - 09:32 am:        Cygnus_x1 That sounds like an awesome trip...Don't have a uly yet, so I have to pass... I've got a hankering to have another bike (currently have an X1). So was kicking the idea around of trading the x1 for a Uly (the adventure rides) and picking up a K1200s (just for the crazyness)   Thunderbox Posted on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 - 12:11 pm:        If you haven't ridden a Uly yet and you don't really want to buy a new bike then don't. I say again, don't go for a test ride. You have been warned. Failure to heed this warning may cost you some money.   Brat Posted on Thursday, May 18, 2006 - 06:37 am:        We've got this trip planned! http://brat.info/buell/page3.htm   Cmgaviao Posted on Thursday, May 18, 2006 - 08:27 am:        Brat, That looks like one hell of a trip...I look forward to reading about your exploits. When will you start?   Snub13 Posted on Thursday, May 18, 2006 - 11:55 am:        Thanks Brat.......now my trip to "homecoming" sounds like a trip around the block! Well, maybe some day I'll be independently wealthy and be able to ride around the world. For now "Homecoming" will have to do!   Lorazepam Posted on Thursday, May 18, 2006 - 02:08 pm:        Homecoming for me, (oh to wisc) A trip I have made many times. I am also planning a 2 up adventure to CO and NM later in the year. Too many places to go, and not enough vacation time!   Duck Posted on Thursday, May 18, 2006 - 03:12 pm:        I did a 17K trip around the US last Sep and Oct after I picked up the Uly from DaveS. Did a little of everything road-wise and the bike handled it all.   Brat Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 04:06 pm:        We're heading off on the 15th December, the bike will be shipped 4 weeks prior so we get there (Kuala Lumpur) at the same time! Thanks for yor wishes, we'll post as the internet gods allow us!   Bindy Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 07:52 pm:        Hi Ya Brat, Was wondering how you where doing. Opto's still patiently waiting for you..... Take Care, Be Safe and Stay Upright.   Adrian_8 Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 10:11 am:        Leaving Monday for KS. CO., NM, UT, WY, SD, NE, back to IN. Just a little jaunt for the ULY.   Brat Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 03:53 pm:        Hi Bindy, I'm in Gove at the moment, passing through (1 hour at airport) Brisbane on the 19th June(monday) could leave it with my daughter (she has coffee with me at airport) at Bracken Ridge if that helps, drop it back to her when finished (copied). I'm passing through again on the 16th July) Cheers Brat   Bindy Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 10:36 pm:        No worries Mate, Will let Opto know and get him to PM you.
