This is too good not to tell again. The other day I am at local the cafe on my XB9s. Three guys on HD custom choppers are there and move on over to my bike to admire it. Ten minutes of "man that is so cool" and so forth. Candidly, there bikes were pretty trick too! Mutual hugs all around! Half hour later I am at the local BMW dealer in Oceanside ordering some parts. I come out into the courtyard area and their are 4 BMW techs looking at the XB, saying, 'Man, is that cool!" Questions ensue, fuel in the frame, is that small or what, etc. Only on a Buell! | ||

I myself still have a hard time taking it all in. It is such an atypical experience. Riding and coming to a stoplight on an authoritative sportbike rumbling "potato, potato, pota", er, make that, "hot potato, hot potato, hot potato..."! Luvin every minute of it. | ||

I had a girl grab me at a bar last night and ask me if that was my bike outside...I had just walked in and was still wearing my jacket and carrying my helmet. I said "yeah," and she replied very seductively "That's soooo sexy!" So I took her in the bathroom for a quickie  Ok, maybe the bathroom/quickie part was a bit exaggerated, but she definitely wanted it  | ||

Was stopped at a traffic light...rumble...rumble...rumble...Two guys pull up beside me...they're both oogling the Buell...rumble...rumble...rumble...all of a sudden, the question...what's that you're riding, a BMW??????? I pointed to the lettering on the tank bag and roared off when the light changed...nearly pissed my leathers with laughter... | ||

Last night, I get into an elevator at the Hospital going to visit my friend, I'm in full leathers carrying my helmet. An older Asian gentleman ask me what kind of bike I have. I told him a Buell, He looked quite confused. I then proceeded to tell him that it is an American Crotch Rocket, with a H-D engine. Still the confused look from him. I said Buell has been building bikes since 1983, that really F***ed him up.....LOL "Ride it till the engine seizes."  Ski edited by xb9rski on May 28, 2004 | ||

Normally I don't cross-post from another thread, but I have to with this one! -=-=-= Two chinese men came up to me once, looked at my bike and said "Honda, right?". "You wish!!" I barked. Kinda shocked by my somewhat harsh reply, they politely asked "Who makes it then? Ducati?". I tell 'em it's a Buell, American, by Harley Davidson. "Oh Harley..." ... It turns quiet for a few seconds and it looks like they wat to walk away when one goes "Hey! weres the exhaust?". "It doesnt have one" I say. "What?! No exhaust?". I was crackin' up. "It's below the engine." "Ah, no good for in the water then! Goes Kaput!". Right, no good in the water....goes kaput. Got that guys!?! So then I ask them were they think the gas is. One taps on the plastic, notices it doesn't sound as solid as he expected, looks my way and goes "No?". "Nope!" I say. "It's in the frame." "Oooh!" ... "What's that then?" Pointing at the plastic thing he just tapped on. "That's the air filter my friend." It's getting real quiet now...they're just staring... I proceed to tell them about the swing arm and the oil in there, the shortest wheel base in the world, the extreme fork angle, pointed to the front brake (which they'd already been looking at), the feather light weight, center of gravity and closed with some bragging that Yamaha's and Honda's have trouble keeping up with it in the curves. The expression of amazement on their faces grew with every second they stood there staring. I obviously impressed two formerly ignorant chinese gentlemen! That same day another biker came up to me, telling me how he's been looking at Buells for quite some time now. I was however the first buell owner he was able to meet and talk to. He asked me a couple of questions and he's likely to go to a dealer soon for a testride. -=-=-=- Ingemar. | ||
