Ok I stole this idea I saw over on the ADV pages. Post your pics of your ULY sleeping. I had to wait until my ride this afternoon to catch mine taking a nap in the Arizona sun.





There is a larger slope than the pictures show, plus my short legs and gravity happens everywhere.

My Uly was a lazy bastard, but my SS must be be running on 200 octane or something. 0 wrecks in 2008 so far!

Nope, just dusty as hell. That was at the 230 miles of dirt for the day. The Uly was tired and the driver.

Isn't it sad that our first instinct after dropping the bike is to take a picture? Here's mine, taking a mudbath:

By the way Rotorhead, is that an aux tank on your beavertail? (Did you make the beavertail into an ESSS for the Uly? Hmm... I wonder if Hellfires would... Never mind.)

Yo Rotorhead,

You haven't got any pics of how you mounted your tool tube have you?
Looks like a good place for it, maybe you could describe how you did it if you don't have photos- is it on the luggage rack crossbar?

Regards,
Hoon

PS If Ulyrat has a sleep I'll try and get a picture for you.

Heres a link to explain some of the mods to my Uly as of late to include my AUX tank, tool tubes and Chain swap!! That Aux tank is a great way to fill once and forget about fuel for the rest of the day.

Joules lying down on the job,but not sleeping, has one eye open, maybe on watch detail and soon alerted to the snow that started falling.

I haven't even taken delivery of my Uly yet (19 days) and I already hate the stupid belt.

Hey Sean - Why didn't you take a picture when I dropped mine in the gravel driveway of the cabin at Buelltoberfest?

of all the times I have been down, gone over, fallen off the beaten path, I have never taken a pic of it. I guess I was just too Pi$$ed that the bike went out from under me.

Adrian, if I'd had my camera available, I'd be posting your pic and not my own.

I'd say we can recreate it at March Badness, but let's not...

Video would have probably been pretty funny. I think I actually did a sorta-somersault down the hill.

Here's his Uly..
