Well I took my first ride today and wow! loving my XB12s. Got a little sun out here on my 2 hour mountain ride on a 25-35mph road. Then it was off to work half way there its started pooring rain so the best ride and the bad weather all in one day. Can't wait to get out and riding with a buell crew. | ||

Welcome Justin, look us up here when you get to town. Just got back from Homecoming today, fun times and great weather! I ended up logging just over 1000 miles for the weekend and got 54.3 mpg for the whole trip with the hard cases on the entire time! Part of the long mileage was due to a wrong turn on the way home which made it 400 miles instead of 300, oops. I'll have some pictures to post sometime soon. Eric | ||

Pics from the weekend. Sorry I don't have a fancy program that you can click through them so you need to hit BACK after each one loads. | ||

Eric, good pictures, except for the ones with the fat guy. I would definitely want to camp there again. A small disclaimer or everyone else: I had none of that bacon, that was Eric and Julie. Other than playing chicken with semis, dodging police, and getting left behind(twice), I had a lot of fun. Hopefully, next time I can keep Julie from scaring Erik. The races were fun, and so was playing that video game. Eric, let me know when you want to pick up your stuff. | ||

Sounds like you guys had fun. We have had some Homecomers stopping by on the way back west. They all said they had fun. I wish I could have gone, but I am glad I did not. One of my cats passed away friday. That would have been an stinky homecoming if I would have come back Sunday. | ||

Eric, I still have your Sling Bag. If you come in and I am not here, go to the parts counter and tell them its on my shelf. Nils | ||

On September 9th Queensryche (the heavy metal band) is playing at the Myth Night club in Maplewood. Buell and VH1 93X are sponsoring this part of the tour. I am trying to get an idea if any of you would be interested in riding with Queensryche on their Minnesota/ Wisconsin part of their Ride Across America. They would be coming up from Madison on Buells. I was thinking we could hook up with them 100 miles or so from here. Any takers? Nils | ||
| Justinxb12s |
You bet. I'm down with riding in any small or large group of Buells. Just keep me informed. Justin | ||
| Nguzzi |
This sunday morning at BIR, the racer that we sponsor is racing his Buell. Henry is looking for someone to ride up with. Its only 2 hrs of nice riding. | ||

Hey Nils, I was up at BIR this weekend and the SPHD bike looked great! The weather was bad on Saturday and CRA canceled the Sat races with the intent of running all the races on Sunday. Lots of people were not happy but what are you gonna do? Anyway yesterday was great and I had ton of fun. Got to do a parade lap on my XB9s and even though it was at half speed I had a blast. If people are interested in roadracing you should go to on of the CRA events at Brainard, its a lot of fun. | ||

im trying to get my bike tuned up, its not running the best. st paul harley the place to go? | ||
| Nguzzi |
I am glad you had fun at BIR. I was going to go but I did not want to ride up alone. | ||
| Justinxb12s |
Hey Nils once I get to MN I'll ride with ya  I think I'm going to have to make SPHD my servicing dealership just cause your a badwebber. less then a month and I'll be in St. Boni | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Justin, Where are you now? I'm in Maple Grove, not too far from St Boni. Neat back road options from MG to SB. Brad | ||
| Justinxb12s |
Yeah I lived in MG before I joined the AF. My wife and I are moving back to MN from Boise, ID. Just found out a couple of hours ago that Geico want to total my bike out. Not the happiest camper at the moment! Hopefully they will let me buy it back for dirt cheap. Anyone have any thoughts about this? That frame and swingarm have very very miner scratches. Thats what racked up the repair price so much. Please if any has any suggestions I would like to hear them. This is my first bike and quite unsure about how to fix the bike, but I have the repair manual and not have bad with tools. Justin | ||

Where do you guys usually ride. I live in Inver Grove Hts and am always looking for new roads to hit. I usually end up in Wisc near Presscott. There are a few good roads over there. I do a mini Flood Run. I might have to meet up with you guys for a ride. If I make it I'll be the guy with the yellow mohawk  . Hopefully see you around, Matt | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Justin, As long as the frame is straight eveything else is pretty easy to fix. Just time and $$$. Matt, the WI roads are about as good as they get around here. I haven't been able to do much riding lately due to a pinched nerve problem. Hopefully that will be resolved soon! Brad | ||
| Revolver682 |
County O, best road in WI the whole length of road is constant curves. The in pops out near red wing, awsome place to ride. Let me know sometime when your over in WI matt ill go riding with ya. | ||

BRAG ride this saturday. Meet at 8:30 am with a full tank of gas at St Paul HD. We will leave at 9am. | ||
| Justinxb12s |
Hey Nils are you planning on riding in the lighting run? After getting my permit in MN what do I need to do to get my licence? Also I need to get new tires. Does SPHD carry pirelli diablos or do I need to order them? And what is your service shop look like for appontments? I'll be in Mn in 2 weeks! wOOt wOOt  | ||
| Nguzzi |
I think you surrender your out of state license and take the test, both car and bike. Call the DMV to make sure. I will be working the Lightning Run. We work so you can ride. As far as service we have 4 Buell techs so it is a 2 day turn around.... on general service. | ||
| Justinxb12s |
So if I need to get my tires changed it won't take that long? Do you have the pirellis in stock? Cause if not I will oder them through you if I need to. | ||
| Ravensmith22 |
Nils, sorry about not making it this morning. I had a bad case of heat exhaustion last night, and I'm still a bit shaky. I don't have your number, anymore, so I couldn't call. I'll be there next time. |
