Author Message   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, April 03, 2008 - 07:16 pm:        Harley stole their name!   Seeinstars Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 07:54 am:        I'm back so just let me know when you want the 9x primary and chain. -mike 919-697-6748   Jlnance Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 08:00 am:        Welcome back Mike. I'll give you a call.   Creeker Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 09:06 am:        Thanks for the info folks, I've ordered some rear bearings and hope to have them installed later next week, until then it looks like I'll be on the KTM. Jlnance thanks for the part #'s. As far as Buell's responsibility, Customer Service said it wasn't their problem.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 01:58 pm:        I have the bearing tool if y'all get stuck, You will need to use a press to get them out w/ this tool. There are other styles that pull them out much like a slide hammer. Installing is easy as I use a socket and tap them in.   Ulywife Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 05:15 pm:        Patch Quote above - need feedback ASAP.   Spike Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 06:19 pm:        Was going through my pictures folder, found these old ones that I don't remember posting. These may even be "pre-C3" days before we had picked a name, just a BRAG group meeting at Sheltons:   Jlnance Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 - 07:11 pm:        Cool Pictures! These may even be "pre-C3" days before we had picked a name I see a Uly. That dates them near the end of 05.   Spike Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 08:35 am:        quote: I see a Uly. That dates them near the end of 05. I was going to try to date the picture that way. I had my old tank bag, which means this pic is before Fall '06. Carlos had a fresh D616 on the rear of his Uly, he could probably tell you about when that was installed. Then I realized I could just right-click on the original picture and look at the date created. It was from March '06.   M2nc Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 10:13 am:        Great pics and a fun ride down Devil's Racetrack. They have repaved the road since that ride. Real sweet ride from Goldsboro to Smithfield. We were C3 by then. March is about right. I know it was early Spring of '06 because I had the trunk on the bike. I bought the bike 10-01-05 but did not have the bags on the bike until later. When I did get the bags, originally I did not put the trunk on the bike. When I went down on ice in late November '05, I only had the side bags on. Here is a picture about a year earlier. Ulywife and I get to ride tomorrow. Looks like we are going to Michael's tomorrow. We will probably be their in the late morning. I guess it will be more a brunch ride then probably take the fun route to Ray Price. What is everyone else doing?   Mikethebike72 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 10:37 am:        I will see the ya'll at Michaels. I am not sure what I will do after, but it will be good to see ya'll. I also wanted to let everyone know I added a posting to the Sportbike Appreciation thread. It gives you the chance to preregister for doorprizes and to get some coupons to use on that day.   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 10:40 am:        Ulywife gets to ride to Michael's in the AM!! Carlee is with a friend and since I kept 7 extra children yesterday, I'm cashing in on that trade for tomorrow AM! I'll try and remember to bring some C3 beer huggies. What time do you think you'll be there Mike?   Mikethebike72 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 10:44 am:        Between 9 and 10 is when I normally get there. C3 beer huggies? Kool.   New12r Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 11:24 am:        C3 beer huggies? How much, I want Two! PM me details please.   Rubberdown Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 01:21 pm:        I'm riding to breakfast at the Ellerbe Inn in Ellerbe tomorrow. www.ellerbesprings.com I just don't get the Michael's thing anymore since Michaels' closed and it's really just hanging around in a parking lot. I'd like to get more folks coming to the Inn on Sunday mornings. There's a group that's been going there for years, sometime bigger, sometimes smaller, sometimes none at all but it's a great place with a great breakfast in the middle of fantastic roads. I could see it developing into a great regular meeting spot for bikes. There's also a very nice MX track about a mile away that's very entertaining to watch when their running. If anybody wants to join us let me know.

If it's sunny tomorrow, I'm on the 'Bolt.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:24 pm:        Mike, What is the normal times that people are at the Inn? It is a bit of a haul for me, like Michaels is for you.   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:36 pm:        Rubberdown - Ellerbe is just too far for us. I didn't realize that Michael's was closed. Hell for that matter, we could all meet somewhere in Raleigh or Smithfield for breakfast and ride a bit.   Rubberdown Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:53 pm:        Maybe we should set Elerbee for a "special" occasion. The new interstate opened which bypasses Elerbe and I think the Inn has seen a big drop in Sunday customers so I'm a little worried about their continued solvency. I'm going to talk to them about promoting some bike attractions as it's a terrific riding area. I like Michael's and I've got some great back roads there as well. There's sure more folks in the Michaels area to get a crowd together. Man, those new owners just need to open the place up!!! I'm looking forward to seeing ya'll again at Ray Price SBA day.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:54 pm:        There is Mexican place that has started serving american breakfast and coffee in the same shopping center that Michaels is in. If ya'll decide on something else, give me a call, I will be away from BadWeb.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:58 pm:        I would be down for a C3 meeting at the Inn. How would the first Sunday in May sound?   Rubberdown Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 04:58 pm:        I've eaten at the Mex place. It's good.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 04:58 pm:        Carlos and Kristi are going to be at my place tomorrow at 9:00 am. We are going to have breakfast at the Perkins on 64 and then head over to Michaels. If anyone wants to join us, well probably be at Perkins about 9:30.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 05:50 pm:        I'd love to do Ellerbe Springs one day. Let us know how it turns out Mike.   Hughlysses Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 06:20 pm:        Jim, I posted at advrider, but in case you didn't see it, my in-laws used to live about 5 miles from Michaels, at the end of the road opposite the shopping center. I was up there on my S3 a couple of years ago with my wife visiting her family in Chapel Hill and stumbled onto the meet at Michaels on Sunday morning. I met one other Buell rider, a young guy on an S1 or S2. I've been up there on the Uly a couple of times but haven't made it back to Michaels. Rubberdown, I need you to show me some of the good roads up there some time. I've found some by accident (I should have after visiting the area for 27 years!) but I'd love to find some more.   Twig Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 10:05 pm:        Hey U4, just got back from the store with cigs. Pulled in behind a early 90's Honda hatchback. NC plate reads U4E-AHH. No shit! Wanted to talk to the dude, but a young cop was hanging around.   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 11:46 pm:        Jim N - looks like the weather forecast SUCKS for tomorrow. If we get up and it's clear, we'll head out, if not, we'll post and go back to bed. If we don't go early, we'll call you to pick a meeting time/place to get TJ's glasses to you.   1313 Posted on Sunday, April 06, 2008 - 12:15 am:        Pics, pics and more pics. These are of more recent history. Oddly, I have a picture of the odometer of every bike I've ever owned at the 1313 mile mark. This is just the latest in the series. One for Jim (Nance). Okay, two... On the way to Suches I stopped at Thunder Tower H-D/Buell. Amazingly there Buells are the first thing you see when you come in the door. Didn't have ANY Buell clothing/gear or accessories however. They did have a couple of custom painted 1125R's (and one stock) on the showroom floor. Even though their lighting sucked for camera use I managed to get these. Waiting on Bondo Billy's garage to do the handlebar swap. To me, this is the way the XT should have been from the factory. Puts the SPORT back in SPORT touring. Nice sporting riding position! The full res version of the pic below looks a little bit cooler - you can see the rain falling with a little more clarity. 1313   Hughlysses Posted on Sunday, April 06, 2008 - 06:23 am:        1313, I go by Thundertower about once a month. Last time I was there, they had some Buell T-shirts, but there were only 3 or 4 and they were near the back of the store buried in the Harley stuff. At least the salesperson knew they had them and directed us to where they were. Shortly after they first opened they had a separate Buell clothing rack, but it didn't last long.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, April 06, 2008 - 07:23 am:        Hugh - Time to visit the inlaws again. 1313 - Thanks for the sparkplug shot. Was that on the way to MBV?
