Author Message   Lars1974 Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 02:06 pm:        hi guys, today I took my Buell Ulysses for a ride out...I haven't ridden this bike for almost 6 months for any distance...:eek1 it was still only 5 degrees C but the sun was shining and I rode just over 100mls through Berkshires & Hampshires fines roads. The Uly ran perfect and the sounds from the Remus is superb - I had almost forgotten how great! here are couple of shots I took along the way and of course more bends... after 2.5hours I got back from with a great smile on my face and washed the bike to get rid of all the salt etc.. That's all. Enjoy Lars   Satori Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 03:19 pm:        Thanks for sharing   Uly_man Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 03:20 pm:        "100mls through Berkshires & Hampshires finest roads." Lars I know those roads very well as I come from that part of the UK and had the same sort of fun many a time. I know the smile. Glad you had a good day on the Uly.   Britchri10 Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 05:46 pm:        Next Up.... Try the Chilterns! (I'm originally from Henley-on-Thames) Nice pic's & nice roads in that neck of the woods. Chris C   Orangeulius Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 05:51 pm:        Nice!   Eulysses Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2012 - 05:32 pm:        hey...you are on the wrong side of the road!!   Tleighbell Posted on Friday, February 24, 2012 - 08:29 am:        britchri, I had a wonderful ride out to Henley on Thames & back in 1975 on a 1959 Bonneville/A10 hybrid. Stopped in a tiny pub outside town called "The Lamb"if I remember correctly. Ring any bells? A couple of pints of Henley brewery's finest helped keep me going on the long drive back to London through the snow.   Britchri10 Posted on Friday, February 24, 2012 - 08:56 am:        Yeah, That's the Lamb at Satwell. Lovely countryside pub. I believe it's still in business. I've been in the USA for 23 years & still crave pints of Brakspears from the henley Brewery.   Pkman Posted on Friday, February 24, 2012 - 03:00 pm:        hey...you are on the wrong side of the road!! I was wondering why they wrote "MO7S" on the road!   Tleighbell Posted on Friday, February 24, 2012 - 06:38 pm:        Britchri, I can tell you, those were dark days back in the '70's and 80's when you had to cross the Atlantic to get a decent pint. Much improved since then.   Britchri10 Posted on Friday, February 24, 2012 - 07:45 pm:        I've seen it spelt."SLOM" before! I thought all Canucks drank Moosehead! I now drink American beer 'cause it's normally so hot here but I still miss my bitter. Chris C   Tleighbell Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 03:18 pm:        I thought all Canucks drank Moosehead! Just those that don't know any better! Probably the same pantywaists who would be drinking lager & lime back in Blighty. The rest of us just eat moose. If you want to start on the cultural stereotypes how about the one about warm beer and Lucas refrigerators! Cheers!   Britchri10 Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 05:11 pm:        No offence meant! It's just that we hosted a Canadian junior rugby team when I was a lad & all they could talk about was the warm beer, how good it was & what a change from Moosehead! We were all about 17 years old & had a great two weeks in the UK. As for refrigerators.... Didn't have one until I was 12 years old! Got our first family car when I was nine. I rode motorbikes until I was 24 then my company gave me my first car. (IMHO) It's all a bit different to N. America. Later... Chris C   Tleighbell Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 06:25 pm:        Chris, no offence taken. All in good fun. Back then all we had was Moosehead and similar. But I presume you know the old British biker joke about the Brits drinking warm beer because they have Lucas refrigerators? I used to play rugby too but fortunately did not get to play in the UK, you guys would have killed us.   Britchri10 Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 08:02 pm:        I've never heard that one before although I am well acquainted with the "prince of darkness". Did you buy a Buell? Chris C   Tleighbell Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012 - 08:35 pm:        I had an XB9S and an XB12S a few years ago. Too much fun! Now lurking about thinking seriously of buying a Uly.   Tootal Posted on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - 07:10 pm:        Lucas factory motto: A hard days work and home before dark! I still own a Triumph Trident from 1975, I'm allowed! A trip to the UK and the isle of man is still on the bucket list.   Britchri10 Posted on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 07:27 am:        I had the '75 T140V Bonneville. great fun, especially if foggy conditions. I would live to have had/have a Trident. Chris C   Ft_bstrd Posted on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 08:02 am:        Watch on that road. There are lightning bolts for one mile.   Britchri10 Posted on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 - 08:23 am:        If you paint a black circle at the lower end of the LH black bit it looks just like someone diving into a pool.
