Author Message   Cyclone Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 07:21 am:        Creeker - I'll be heading to Indy to see friends and the Moto GP. I was going to take off a whole week. How about you?   Creeker Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 10:00 am:        Cyclone, I'm trying to swing some VIP passes from here at work but I hope to be riding up on Thurs.   U4euh Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 03:48 pm:        LOL I didn't realize that I had my eyes closed so much. Thank goodness Charlie was there to make sure I didn't screw anything up! actually it was the thought of dropping through a corner and having the crossroads go ahead and crack off, talk about a magnitude 5 pucker moment!!   Twig Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 04:30 pm:        Any jazz piano fans? Pat just bought tickets for Chick Corea with Bela Fleck duo, March 17, a Monday, at 8pm in Greensboro at the historic Carolina Theatre downtown. My mother turned 75 a few days ago, so she is coming too. My late father was one helluva bassist, mostly jazz standards. That's where the love comes from. We have been listening to Chick for 30+ years, and he can still play his ass off! We've got two spare bedrooms if there are any rabid fans, like me, are out there!

Midnitght Black With Black Wheels. Later all Webe   U4euh Posted on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 11:24 pm:        Yea, I hope to be seeing it soon also!! If anyone wants some white plastics, I am fixing to put some up for sale in the classifieds, then E-shmay if nobody bites.   1313 Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 03:40 am:        Yeah Webe, The XB12XT was cool. The pictures of it taken inside don't do it justice. Here in 'Bagger Alley'. 25th anniversary plate. It was so nice that they allowed us to roll it outside for some better pictures even though the weather didn't look too friendly. Here with a nice profile shot. And here's a different angle. Looks stunning in black, 1313   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 07:43 am:        Adv dinner last night was good. Though there is nothing quit like waiting till 4:00 PM before embarking on a 300+ mile ride.   M2nc Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 09:35 am:        Jim - I am glad you got to go to the dinner. It looks like you guys had a great time. 1313 - I like the pictures of the XB12XT. I hope to see it soon too. I would love to compare the seat height. Maybe I will lower the Uly one day. I like those black wheels too. I don't know where yet, but the 10-day forecast shows mid-sixties and sunny next weekend. I am riding somewhere! Any ideas?   Webethumpin Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 02:55 pm:        Yea I like the black wheels too but something is missing or not just right with the XT. The guys at Shelton's are a great bunch of salesmen ,I think they know we are high millage group.We lean more to the Motorcyclist side vs. Bikers side of life,even though some of us have some shiny pipes. m2nc; How about lets go to Fayetteville. Webe   1313 Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 05:28 pm:        Snug as a bug in a rug? Now you see 'em: Now you don't: Both in profile view... Amazing what better light does. Webe- I agree! Thanks for your help with the wheel swap! 1313   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 06:36 pm:        Sweet!   M2nc Posted on Sunday, February 24, 2008 - 10:47 pm:        Sweet Brankin. Fayetteville has possibilities. I want to check out some Draggin Jeans and then we can ride off around the Uwharrie. I believe we can find a couple of guides in the area.   U4euh Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 12:12 am:        Just put 200 miles on the bike 2day, and stopped into Cycle Gear, Twice! First time was to look around, the second time was after Pete did his impression of an Airborne Ranger on a muddy road. Only broke off his bar end!!! I tell you what guys-this bike is almost too fast! I cannot, I repeat, cannot keep the front wheel on the ground in first and second if I am at anything past 1/4-1/2 throttle. After leaving CG, we headed out past some guys on a Gixxer and one on a ZX9. The guy in the lead let me pass him up, I knew he did so I stayed in 3rd gear running 50-55. I heard him goose it up, so I followed suit. Last time I seen him he went through an intersection about 4 seconds after I slowed and turned. It cut top end down to about 120-123, but damn it is on rockets getting there. I am gonna need new clutch plates for sure. I wanted to do it on the install, but could not finance it. Brankin, looks great, can't wait to see what else you are gonna do.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 07:32 am:        It cut top end down to about 120-123, but damn it is on rockets getting there. Are your running an XB9 primary chain?   New12r Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 11:04 am:        Yup, with my old XB12R motor, race ecm, and fresh top end! I cant wait to ride the rocket!   U4euh Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 12:02 pm:        Yea, 9 primary, race pipe, race ecm, 12 motor and a hand that loves to twist!   M2nc Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 08:30 pm:        U4 - Am I going to see the little beast this weekend?   1313 Posted on Monday, February 25, 2008 - 10:22 pm:        Today's mod: Black center section on the chin fairing. Sorry, too dark for any pics. But I guess that was the point... Tomorrow's mod: Installing battery tender leads on the battery and (finally) hooking it up to the battery tender. 1313   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - 07:50 am:        M2-Where you gonna be at this weekend?   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 02:05 pm:        The women's restroom door at the Dragon Pitt in Maryvale, from killboy.com: Is that a Buell? Its got the correct blinkers and right side drive.   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 02:48 pm:        We have an opening at C3 Central if anyone else is interested in coming to March Badness. The cost is $80 which includes cabin, breakfast, munchies, beer and drinks. Posted in our Adventure Folder as well.   M2nc Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 06:14 pm:        U4 - I was planning on riding out to Fayetteville and then around your neck of the woods. I may have to work so it may be postponed to Sunday. So what's your plans for the weekend? I'd like to take a look at your revised beast.   U4euh Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 11:47 pm:        Hey Kristi-my dad is about 85% sure he is coming from TX. Is it still open? Don't have any really,Tonya is off and Brina is having a friend over. You bringing Carlee? Drop her at the house and we ride, hmmmmmm   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 12:02 am:        Yes, I have a spot open. I do need to go ahead and collect the remaining $$ so I can send off a check next week. Carlos really needs to get away. Carlee hasn't been feeling well this week. All three kids have had fevers 101+. I think he needs a Daddy Weekend away without being responsible for anyone else. Work has SUCKED...needless to say, he needs a good long ride. Got a sofa he can sleep on ?   U4euh Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 12:55 am:        Absolutley! We'll just put the blow bed and he an have it as long as he wants! Yes, money money money! Very soon, I'll ask him 2morrow and see what he says.   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 01:17 am:        Sounds good. If Carlos has to work, I'll send him with the Ventura bag packed and he can head out whenever he gets out of hell....I mean work.   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 12:44 pm:        I've posted the MBV Volunteer Schedule on the MBV thread. Please check it out and post "OK" or post any corrections. Viki needs to have an accurate schedule if possible! Thanks! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=4062&post=1082300#POST1082300   Mikethebike72 Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 04:26 pm:        Howdy folks. I threw this out earlier, but now I can announce it. We will be having a Daytona 200 viewing party here at Ray Price Buell on March 8th starting at around 1pm. The race starts at 2pm. We will have door prizes and light snacks. As people want to take a break from watching, we will have demo bikes available including the 1125R. I have to teach that morning, but should be able to socialize (not work) afterwards. I won't be able to make MBV, so this my way of spending time with ya'll. Feel free to pass this along to other people you think may be interested.   Rubberdown Posted on Thursday, February 28, 2008 - 04:31 pm:        Also there are about 4 1125R's racing in the MotoST 300 which I believe is this weekend. Good Stuff.
