NUTS would. Spent a year away from Buell-land...the will was only so strong. I had a bevy of bikes during my hiatus and this go round I chose by ownership experience. Buell-second to none. Thanks Badweb.

Hey Nutsosane,

Nice bike(s).

Btw, is that an Alaska Sheepskin? If so, what size? Thanks

Johnboy, That's the Aerostich version. It has a non-skid backing and 8 loops for securing to the bike; size-small taper. It comes with 4 securing straps and costs $60 I think. I've seen an Alaska Sheepskin in size medium and I believe they are the same size. The AK product only has a single strap across the middle and may interfere with the mounting of the seat. I sure wish I had the seat off of my '06 Uly. NUTS

Wondered where the hell you went. Welcome back!

I'd look in the classifieds for a used seat. Plenty to go around.

I hate the 07/08 seat as well. That seat is the perfect blend of straddling a 2x4 so your nuts go to sleep and humping the tank.

it looks like you took the windscreen off of your bike altogether. i'll bet you get less noise like that too.

btw, the blue looks great.

We are getting a XB12XP..... guess who might be going to the ULY after the required demo period is up?

sounds like something right out of Blues Brothers

How much time did it take you to get used to not riding the 'fast black' bike? How much slower is the blue, anyway?

Blue has to be faster than the 'pumpkin orange' bikes...

As Glitch said many moons ago: "It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian."

Black, orange, blue, white, red it don't matter. Any Buell delivers smiles per mile I haven't found anywhere else. The black bike was a week old when I rode it down to Deals Gap and if memory serves, I have a buell battery in the tankbag. The slower blue bike(Huckleberry) will only be slow for another 50 miles, then we start to tickle 7k on the tach.NUTS

Who would be so foolish to buy two Ulysses?

Me. I traded my '06 Uly in on an '08 XT.

I enjoyed that trip, and the happenstance of meeting you on the side of the road.
