I was on the buell website looking at the cityx section. Under "engine" they have the following text. Funny stuff. Engine The high-revving Thunderstorm 984 cc, 45-degree V-Twin delivers raw, torquey power over a wide rev range. With a power delivery that’s smoother than the neighborhood pimp, its 92 hp and 68 ft. lbs. of torque give it the best torque-to-weight ratio in its class. Blip the throttle, dart between traffic and give those bike messengers something to worry about.  | ||

That's funny. Almost as funny as my Klipsch home subwoofer that has a volume that goes to eleven. For when you need that extra little kick. | ||

}The high-revving Thunderstorm 984 cc  it is smooth as glass, though. good job, marketing dept.! has a volume that goes to eleven why not just make 10 louder? | ||

I dont know what neighborhood they are talking about, the bike messenger crew in Seattle are pretty psycho. And I certainly wouldnt be pimpin in the hoodz that they ride through, that is right in cop central ! | ||
| Corporatemonkey |
Hey I ride in those neighborhoods... The bike messengers are afraid of my buell. Maybe because I don't yield???  | ||
| Bueller007 |
Yeah. "smooth". That's why the whole bike has to be Locktited together, and they STILL vibrate themselves apart! | ||

Gads. . . it's the NEGATIVE MONSTER! Didn't I just turn you into an Ostrich? Let me guess . . . you think the government is out to get you as well? | ||

I have a tin foil hat so the government cant see me enjoying my Buell.By the way real motor bikes do vibrate and yes I love my vibrating 77 ironhead also. | ||

Xbullet, "because this one goes to 11" I mean, really. Now don't touch that bike, no, don't even look at it... | ||

*(hijack alert) How many here have seen Spinal Tap LIVE? (Slaughter raises his hand, looks around at the others in the audience) You ARE right - somebody DOES have a definite sense of humor. (Message edited by slaughter on June 04, 2007) | ||

Nigel Tufnel: [pointing to a customized Marshall amplifier head unit] This is a top, to, uh, you know, what we use on stage, but it's very, very special, because, if you can see... Marty DiBergi: Yeah... Nigel Tufnel: [pointing to the control dials] ...the numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board: eleven, eleven, eleven, eleven... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is that any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most... most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up... you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know... Nigel Tufnel: ...nowhere! Exactly! What we do is if we need that extra... push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: ...Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder, and make ten be the top... number, and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause, blank look and snapping chewing gum] These go to eleven. | ||

My gut hurts! That is hilarious! And once again, the topic drifts, or is it "rifts", to guitars. | ||
| Cityxslicker |
and the biker sacrifice at stone henge always reminds me of that movie http://www.soundrider.com/sbnw/Gallery.htm Cant wait for the dirty twisties and hard corners ... so much for pimpin in the neighborhood, thread jack complete | ||
| Corporatemonkey |
Geez Brian, you are like a cat in heat, just itchin' for a ride  When will the bike be done? | ||
| Cityxslicker |
Apparently a downed vehicle will get parts quicker... quicker than the pony express? 3-5 days instead of the 10-15 days. Still wrangling as to whether it will be covered under warranty.  | ||
| Corporatemonkey |
Why would a downed vehicle get parts faster? Please explain that one from a dealer standpoint? |
