Author Message   Tnash71 Posted on Tuesday, December 05, 2006 - 10:51 am:        As a matter of fact...I did ride on Sunday. It was the 2nd Annual Polar Bear Run hosted by the Iron Pirates. I froze my ass off! I was on my VStar though...for some reason I feel safer when both of my feet can touch the ground when I'm on a sheet of ice! Although, the Buell has a way better heater.   Jayman Posted on Thursday, December 07, 2006 - 10:12 am:        I went for a ride on Saturday out to Clodwell, and it was fricken freezing Mr. Bigglesworth! Hard to resist when the sun is out and the roads are semi clear.   Coturi Posted on Sunday, December 17, 2006 - 05:39 pm:        Well, I went for a quick blast today. Yes, it was pretty damn cold, but holy crap it was good to get on the beast again. I feel bad every time I see her sitting in the garage being lonely. Just glad to hear her sing such beautiful music this time of year.   Bhemph0 Posted on Monday, December 18, 2006 - 11:29 am:        Ok, my turn to brag! I put 30 miles on Saturday. Not as cold as I thought it would be. Went by the dealer talked to Neal he claims he will "hang with us" on his Harley next season. (I know you you read this Neal I think you might have had a little too much Nog with Mrs. Claus! Maybe if you put on some Ape hangers and a bigger Bell???) I know you can take some crap you big Loveable Galoof!   Bhemph0 Posted on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 11:22 am:        Hello all, Dave at HD gave me a list with 200 buell customers/buyers from our local dealers. I will be out of town until Jan. 15th. after that I will start making contacts to let all know about this website. If anyone wants to help me contact part of the list let me know by posting here. Also is anyone interested in getting together Saturday Jan. 27th. at Donny Macs to talk about the upcoming season? Hope everyone has a nice holiday season!   Coturi Posted on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 06:50 pm:        Absolutely Bill, I've got some plans for next year. Count me in for help and for Donny Mac's. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!   Cms1172 Posted on Saturday, December 23, 2006 - 11:38 pm:        Can't wait to hear about the upcoming season. and I totally agree with Coturi, my Ss is looking awful lonely in the garage, so had to put a few miles on it Wed night, had just put on the newly fabricated pipe, and you know that it has to be tested, then chopped the back end, that cheesegrater sure is ugly, now just need an ECM(with help from Santa). MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS}}   Bhemph0 Posted on Thursday, December 28, 2006 - 11:01 am:        Happy new year to all! I have started contacting Buellers from the dealers list, Most are very enthusiastic!

I dressed for the weather and went for a ride on Saturday around the valleyLookin forward to the next season, when we can ditch the polar gear. Bill let me know how I can help with contacts...Have a GREAT time in Hawaii. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!   Coturi Posted on Thursday, January 04, 2007 - 06:48 pm:        Jason, I talked to Bill earlier. He was going to e-mail me the list of contacts. I'll forward a section of it to you once I get it. Sam, put that stinking pipe on already. If you want help let me know.   Axil5 Posted on Wednesday, January 10, 2007 - 05:13 pm:        HEY BILL I finally got around to puttin your pipe on, let me know when ya get back in town and i will drop off the stocker   Cms1172 Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 12:45 am:        Has anyone here had the TPS reset done locally, and what was the charge? I am ready to do the job and was wondering if it would be more lucrative to buy the software or have the dealer do the job. With all this cold I can't wait for the spring weather to come in.   Coturi Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 11:53 am:        Chad, they charge you for a half hour of labor, $35. Only takes a few minutes so you don't have the hassle of dropping the bike off. After the reset, jump on the freeway and ride it for ten minutes around 3500 rpm. That puts your bike in learning mode, and you will be good to go.   Cms1172 Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 02:43 pm:        Thanks for the info Michael. I walked into High Desert on Friday, and when they said $125 I about died, so I called Birds of Prey, and sure enough they said Half Hour. By the way does anyone know where I can get wrap for the headers locally?   Bhemph0 Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:04 pm:        Hello all, back from the Islands and trying to quit shivering. Mike Hows it going on the contacts? I will start calling again tonight. Sam you can drop off the pipe anytime if I'm not home just leave it on the porch. Hows the new pipe work? Chad, H.D. in Boise charged me 1/2 hr. labor for the TPS. Has anyone looked at (redone wiring under the aircleaner base plate? if so what did you find???   Coturi Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 06:55 pm:        Chad, I got my header wrap online, and I haven't seen it anywhere in town. All the hot rod shops are gone that I know of. If you find it let me know. Bill, I never got the list. I tried to let you know, but you must have already left. If you want to try and send it again to me and Jason, I'll get on it. Hope you had an amazing time.   Bhemph0 Posted on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 06:11 pm:        Sorry Mike I will re e-mail it on Wed.   Axil5 Posted on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 07:32 pm:        Chad, i can get you some 2 inch black header wrap here locally for not too much... i will have to double check tomorrow how much it was i think 28 bucks for 30 feet... i used two fifteen foot sections.. which made it a lot easier then when mike and i did his all in one piece... i think you can find it on ebay a little cheaper though   Cms1172 Posted on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 09:31 pm:        Well its on the way already got header wrap on ebay, $26.50 and free shipping for 50 ft. not bad? Hey was there talk of getting out here soon for an unofficial club meeting?   Bhemph0 Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 01:46 pm:        Chad, B.A.B. is getting together Saturday Jan. 27TH. at 1pm AT Donny Mac's in Boise at 15th. & Grove to meet new people & kick around rides and ideas for the new season. If weather permits we can go for a short ride. Help spread the word!   Cms1172 Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 09:12 pm:        Darn it, I have to work then, but keep me in the loop on what happens. Just wondering, picked up my bike from the dealer tonight, and was wondering if all the bikes backfire a bit after the TPS reset, at least until the ECM learns the curve? It hesitates a little pulling from a stop.   Jayman Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 09:33 am:        Hey Chad, I didn't have any backfire after my TPS reset on my long...I would be more concerned with the hesitation. If it were me, I would go back to the dealership and tell them.   Coturi Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 11:22 am:        If it pops a little under deceleration, that is normal, especially if you put a free flowing exhaust on. If it is backfiring at any other time, your tps is probably a bit off. I would let it learn and if it still is hesitating I'd take it back. The tps reset is a little different on the Buell versus the H/D so make sure you are having a Buell tech get it right.   Bhemph0 Posted on Friday, January 19, 2007 - 01:49 pm:        Hello all, finished calling 6 pages of Buell riders last night. Talked to a lot of enthusiastic riders who are looking for a group like B.A.B. to ride with. thanks to Mike & Jason for helping make calls. Looking forward to meeting new people & riding in above freezing temps & dry roads! see you all on the 27th.   Bhemph0 Posted on Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 11:36 am:        Looks like the weather will be nice this Saturday. If anyone is interested we can ride from Donny Macs after the get together. Looking forward to meeting new riders to the group! Mike, were you able to make the calls? Sam, I need to get the pipe from you thanks.   Coturi Posted on Thursday, January 25, 2007 - 09:00 pm:        Bill, I would love to go for a jaunt after lunch. I've been crazy busy with family in town, but I should be able to finish up with everything on Friday. See you all on Saturday.   Coturi Posted on Saturday, January 27, 2007 - 09:19 pm:        Well it was good to meet some new people. I look forward to riding with everyone in the upcoming year. I put our club profile on the Owners section of Buell.com, so if anyone is looking they'll find us. I'll keep you all updated on the adopt-a-highway stuff, as well as the trackdays as soon as info comes in. See you in a few weeks.
