I like the white color, but most people notice the blue wheels first. Many miss the green light and are awakened only when a horn blows. My face is starting to hurt from the constant grin.

New Bueller as of this month. Howdy Gang..

welcome!

...and bada** bike BTW! I've been eying a new ride (it's soon time for the gf to graduate from the Blast, so I'm thinking she'll get my Lightning and I'll get something new...), and I'd have a hard time choosing between the Arctic White and the Cherry Bomb.

Have fun, respect the bike and be safe!

It was a no brain decision for me. Already had blue and white riding gear lol. The guys at Independence Harley nearly had a coronary when I said get me a white 12r after three years of "sorry just looking." They had no hard feelings and transported my bike the next day from out of town. Then the finance guy tore up my deposit check and away I went.

I'll tell you what I think is irritating; when I had the jap bike, I saw no less than 8 Buell's. Now that I have mine, where the heck did they go? My local dealer always has at least one, and in the last three years I have seen two and sometimes three Buell bikes on the showroom floor. With sales like that I should be able to find someone to ride with.

Welcome!

If ya wanna see a bunch of Buells, head on over to Suches GA for March Badness.
We have tons showing up from all over the States, and Canada each year, this will be our 6th year, and will definitely be our biggest.

I wouldn't want to ride all the way alone; if I can rustle up some other Buell riders here at home then it might be doable. Sounds like fun.

Kurt,

last year several riders from our Austin group made the trek, if it happens again you'd be welcome to join.

And congrats on the best color combo ever

Is that you in the middle of the group pic in your profile? If you do head up that way in March, please do let me know.

I'll bet there are some nice twisties to ride on in Austin. Used to live there in 88, wouldn't mind moving back but I am kind of stuck where I am now.
I have family and friends up that way, just might have to head that way for a visit.

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. Just made 1000mi in less than 4 weeks. I was riding yesterday and saw a bike, gave him the wave and we both did a double take. He had a bike just like mine, couldn't stop because of traffic.
