Author Message   M1a65 Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 03:57 pm:        How's the bike running Curt?   Tbs_stunta Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 08:49 pm:        MedVed, a 600RR and limited riding experience is a very bad idea.   Cmgaviao Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 12:11 am:        Hey Frank, Running Great. Took a spin up to Deals gap over memorial day weekend and had to replace the O2 sensor. Got some new tires on her (Made a huge difference) I've been so busy I haven't been able to make it to the V lately to check in with you. Didn't get to take my spin today, got too busy getting ready to watch the game tomorrow. BTW, Frank (or anyone else for that matter) if you want to come watch the game tomorrow, open invite to come watch, have sky line chili and hang at the pool. Just no throwing poop at the television if the french win...   Kdan Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 07:17 am:        Bambi & I had a great time watching 3%er's tearing up the track & their bikes yesterday. Now it's time for us to ride! Anyone checking, we'll be at T.W.O. somewhere around 9:30-10:00. See ya in them hills!   Bambi Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 08:38 am:        We had a blast hanging out with you hooligans yesterday. Seriously enjoyed watching the talent. I took a GO-zillion pics and will try and figure out how to get them to you guys before we leave for St. Louie next week.   Fran_dog Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:41 am:        Just back from Barber and all I can say is WOW!!! Bambi: Can't wait to see the pics. Thanks. }   Black_sunshine Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:54 am:        One word about Track Day @ Barber......AWESOME!!!!! That is the most "legal" fun I have had on a motorcycle..ever! I rung her little neck all day long and she kept on pumping out the performance. I hit about 110 mph on the straight until you have to hit the brakes for Turn 1. Coming out of "Sanchez Corner" (yes he has another one and I am sure he will elaborate on that later) the pony would lift the front tire until you crested the hill. I will be putting velcro on my pants for some pucks 'cause I almost scraped a hole in both knees dragging them around the track. All the Buells hammering the track sounded amazing. Everyone at the track day knew who were before the day was out thanks to Silverbullets handy work with our 3% tape on our headlights Shred...thanks for the tips and lines on the track New12R, Odie and Shred.....you guys rocked that Intermediate Class. Ya'll were hauling a$$ and schooling those IL4s. Fran_dog, Sanchez and S_B.....awesome running the track with you. Wags....nice to meet you Smoke.....tough break. I was looking forward to seeing that Nasty S1 run. Next time right? Bambi...can't wait for the picks Jimmy and Angie.....We enjoyed the hospitality and showing us around your hood Friday night. As far as I'm concerned you guy are 3%ers (that is, if you want to be associated with this Motley Crew) All you guys did great on and off the track. I had the best time and can't wait for the next one. I will post the few picks I have in the pics section later. As many cameras that were around there should be some great pics.   Medved1 Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 02:15 pm:        tbs_stunta yea I know I tried to talk him into an f4i or something a bit tamer but he got a deal on this one and it is his money. in his defense he is sane and is taking all precautions to do things right. going to the msf courses, asking as many questions as he can and bought all the proper riding gear. if he does things right he can learn on it and not kill himself I hope. maybe once he gets used to street riding I’ll bring him along to a bike night and introduce him to the 3%ers so that yall might impart some of the vast well of knowledge of biking on him like yall have me. It is hard to find good influences in the sport bike community and if the right people influence and talk to him his riding life will be long and enjoyable. stupidly is contagious but then again a seed of knowledge planted by good people will always flourish.   Bambi Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 03:39 pm:        Buellish, really nice meeting and riding with you today. Looking forward to doing some riding from our side of town. Maybe we can even get Buellalove to join us. Kdan even ran into Jonboy while he was waiting for me to catch up and we saw Larry at TWO. OH and guess what, guys? I actually DRUG A PEG today and this time I MEANT TO!   Missbehavin Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 04:33 pm:        Way to go Bambi!!!   Buellish Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 06:20 pm:        Bambi and Kdan,enjoyed riding with you.Look foward to doing it again when you get back from your trip. Glad to hear everyone had a large time at Barber!   Black_sunshine Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 06:50 pm:        Bambi......good job....time for some knee pucks.   Kdan Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 07:13 pm:        Sunshiny, can she have some of your used ones? I guess I better hurry up and get the Motard and the Ulysses. I see a custody battle for my XB9 in my future.   Black_sunshine Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 08:38 pm:        Kdan.....your used ones? I don't have knee pucks on my pants as evidence from this pic:   Black_sunshine Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 08:47 pm:        Here are my pics: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/211616.html?1152492374   Fran_dog Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 09:02 pm:        Can anyone tell me why the edge of my tires are wearing like this? This has never happened to me before.   New12r Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 09:06 pm:        I cannot type all the stories I have from Barber! I will tell a couple. Starting with I cannot wait to do It again! First Thanks to Buell Motor Company/Private Track Time(Leon Shred & Crew) and Barber. Thanks to BraveAngel, Shelly and Nicolas, Frandog, Silverbullet, Black_Sunshine, Smoke, Wags, Sanchez, Odie Jimmy and Angie, and anyone and everyone else I forgot! WOW what a weekend it was and a top notch racetrack!!! I could talk all day just about the grounds around the track let alone the track itself. I did not pull a "Sanchez" in turn 6 I think, but I did break the back end loose and "backed her out" until I got scared and lifted just enough to recover traction. Rode right off the track on the back stretch trying to pass a guy(think of mountainriders twin brother on the track, former racer, teacher etc...)in the kink, about 110 was the speed when I hit the grass. Two guys behind me thought I crashed and were very surprised to have me pass them just 6 turns later!!!! The blind uphills are freaking scary as all get out!!!! Wide open up hill with no sight of your markers or the track direction. Turn one is a downhill left coming off a long straight to a crested uphill right into a downhill bank, it was like riding down a twisted slide on the playground but at about 90mph with your toes and pegs being ground to nothing in the process! So back uphill you go into a blind right wide open at about 100mph only to get over the hill and see brake markers coming fast! downhill again! Left through a wicked hairpin combo (Sanchez's corner)where you practically wheelie out up another hill to the Alabama Coaster. Holy crap what a series of turns, hard right on the brakes, straight over the hump on the apex of the left(you never even turn left) to a downhill banked right hander that looks really tight but has a huge exit. Next comes the kink, wide open in 4th gear to a short left hard right down a short straight. Now another left downhill to a right over a tunnel back downhill still leaned right to the next right back uphill to the last tight right hander then out with as much gas as you could handle through the last turn to a fourth gear rev limiter ride down the front stretch. Well I hope you enjoyed the ride! I am whooped and need some rest. I will post pics soon.   Bambi Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 09:59 pm:        Shiney man....No pucks? ummmm, I'm thinking that was a hint. We saw the knees, 'member? Definitely believe it is time for pucks, definitely.   Shred Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:23 pm:        Just walked in the door, dropped Leon off at Atl. airport. I can't even start to post anything yet. I'm whooped...... Dave with PTT (riding the R), wearing the blue and white leathers riding in the advanced group said he'd never seen a set of tires (SHREDDED) so bad. That says a lot, he was the track champion at Blackhawk raceway with CCS in 99' and 2000' We'll post pics later on this week. Glad so many people made it out. Everyone road great, glad we all came home in one piece. The 3%ers made me proud...I think we might have a few more track junkies in the group.   Smoke Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:45 pm:        just walked in the door also. in case i didn't tell somebody--i sure am glad that Buell provided demo bikes to ride on the track. lunched my oil pump drive on the start of my first session. glad to run with everyone and good to see y'all again. can't wait till the next time. tim   Paint_shaker Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:59 pm:        Sounds like it was a great time. Wish I could have been there!! Dang Smoke, sorry to hear about the oil pump drive. I know you would have smoked that S1 around them XBs... hehehehehhee   M1a65 Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 09:32 am:        KDan & Bambi, I'm right down the road in Woodstock next time you need a ride with to the boozateria. Drop me a line.   Bambi Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 11:10 am:        Hey, all you guys that were at Barber this past Sunday, if you will email me your mailing address, I will burn each of you a CD with your pics full size on it so you can do personally what ever you want with them. cdthatbme@yahoo.com Frank, I think Buellish is going to try and starts some rides on Sunday morning from our side of town since he goes about every Sunday anyway so keep your eye out on the board. I'm sure one of us will post it. Kdan sometimes rides from my place & meets me in Buckhead at my job to go to the V. Let him know if you are interested and I am sure he would love to show you our route through the McMansions from Northside Dr. If we get Buellalove with us, you tubers will out number the XBs & baby Buells. We need more Buellers on our side of town! Hey wait! I forgot, Buellish has infiltrated Earl Smalls! Now it is just a matter of time!   Black_sunshine Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 11:28 am:        M1a65.....I have another prosthesis that needs a tat. This one is latex based and should be simpler than the last material. It will be tribal. I will have it ready on 7-19-06. Call me and we will hash out the details. Bambi...you have mail   Odie Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 01:15 pm:        Bambi- you have more mail! Thanks much!! All- had a GREAT time with ya'll once again. I'm in for next year already. Smoke, sorry that things worked out the way they did for you. Real bummer....Hope to see you next year though!!   Stealthxb Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 04:45 pm:        Any fork oil recommendations?   Smokescreen Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 05:05 pm:        Depends on your riding Stealth. For everyday riding I would use the Harley Type "E" oil, more aggressive riding I would recommend the Screaming Eagle Heavy oil. Or you could use whatever you want really. We have both plus the extra heavy oil all in stock. Hope that helps. Smokescreen   Shred Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 05:27 pm:        I just walked in the door again, left the house at 4:45 this morning. I read my post and laughed. All three of my jackets smell...but glad I brought extras, they came in handy.   Stealthxb Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 05:51 pm:        Thanks Smokescreen see Sponsor thread.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 09:53 pm:        All three of my jackets smell Can't be any worse than the boot my cat peed in or the sock I wore inside it all day Saturday.
