Today I dive into the world of Buell. I've done my homework and I've test driven and I'm happy to say that I will be picking up my "new" 04 XB9SX. I'm excited as hell since this will be my first street bike. I'm sure I'll be posting some questions here and look forward to sharing my experiences.

Congrats! Best of luck - now by "new" do you mean new to you, or new as in a leftover?

Either way - enjoy it

"Lift with your legs! Your back will thank you! "

Sorry, quick threadjack here.

A friend of mine told me pulled of a 500 lb. deadlift last week. He COULD actually pick up our bikes, and rather easily! (He thought that was funny.)

Okay, resume!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. The bike is in the driveway and looks good there I must say. I'll have to wait until mid June to legally ride. I'm in the USMC and we have to take a MSF before we can ride. Pictures will be posted. Thanks again for the welcome.

Since you are new around here, you probably didn't get the memo that all new buell owners must go through an initiation.

You have to wash our bikes...

You can start on mine first, last bike will be cityxslicker. : )

Congrats on the new bike.

Mine looks terrible in the driveway, or the garage...or at least I hate leaving it there...

Yeah, if you started with City's you'd never get to anyone else's!
