Author Message   Spike Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 - 05:56 pm:        quote: Spike, the Uly not doin it for ya either huh...Fun bike but not a firebolt. Agreed. I can't quite put my finger on it as the Ulysses is a better street bike in almost every measurable category, but I just want my Firebolt back.   Oldog Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 - 09:53 pm:        WOW! Jim I am glad that you walked away from that! Don / Dave I have been on the grind at work, We are quoting a multi million dollar job and well thats how it goes. Dave so good to hear that you are still here. Don I will call soon I am having problems with my left shoulder as well and about 25 minutes of riding is all I can handle right now. 1313 I like that bolt faring how does that do as far as cutting the wind?   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 - 10:22 pm:        I just want my Firebolt back. Two weeks ago your Firebolt was at Shelton's in Goldsboro....   Sportymark Posted on Friday, April 25, 2008 - 08:35 am:        but this is a deal too Spike http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/655323199.html   Spike Posted on Friday, April 25, 2008 - 09:29 am:        quote: Two weeks ago your Firebolt was at Shelton's in Goldsboro.... It has been moved back to Smithfield since then, but is still available. I've been keeping my eye on it. quote: but this is a deal too Spike http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/655323199.html That is a deal. I had intended to just go get mine back when the Ulysses sells, but that price is tempting. I guess I'll have to decide how much the history I have with my previous Firebolt is worth.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Friday, April 25, 2008 - 04:23 pm:        Does anyone know SORT23? He one the other pair of MOTO-ST tickets at VIR on Sunday. I will try to contact him with the information I have, but feel free to relay the message if you know him.   Sort23 Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2008 - 03:41 pm:        Hey, that's me. Mike, I left you a voice mail with my contact information. Sorry I could not make it out today, I had to work.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2008 - 03:50 pm:        Nice to see everyone at RP today. Looks like the turnout was excellent. It was good to see so many people there who I doubt have ever had a reason to stop by an HD/Buell dealership on a regular basis. I recognized a couple people from Michaels. The husband wife pair with the MV Agustas were there, and had their bikes entered in the show. Sportymark/Seeingstars when is a good time to do the primary swap?   Seeinstars Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2008 - 10:53 pm:          Webethumpin Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2008 - 11:18 pm:        For the Bad- Webers that couldnt make Ray-Price today you guys missed a treat.I think Mike and Jordan have hit the right spot. There were Buells,and there were sport bikes,most of all there were motorcycles of all kinds,even a Spider that did a impressive departure burn out The live music was great,door prizes were aw sum(LO/Jack securityy system) WOW $600 value. Th Scorpion/SIDI rep was there too,got a few pointers on the helmet. It was great to see the C-3 family and great to see Larry.Enjoyed talking to Mark a Laura. Spike and I had a great time helping with the Demos and was glad to help too.Brankin had the head turner with his morphed XT-BoltI will let him tell you guys the rest. Nance sorry I missed you We must have been on a ride.If Ray Price,When Ray Price does this next year I will be there.Great job to all of Ray Price and a BIG THANK YOU. Later all, Webe   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 06:29 am:        Seeingstars - Is that your Lightning with the trophy next to it?   Seeinstars Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 07:39 am:        yeah, that was mine   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 08:24 am:        Congrats! It's a sharp looking bike.   Twig Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 09:13 am:        Michael, good meeting you yesterday. I have a sister in Durham, off Duke St. Plenty of good back roads to the state hospital side. Hope you have found them.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 09:51 am:        I'm off to Michaels, hope to see some of you all there.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 01:12 pm:          1313 Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 09:34 pm:        Sporty- I made it home around 5:30 or so - just before it started to downpour in New Bern. Hit a little rain leaving Kinston, but it didn't last long. Stopped at Shelton's on the way home. Kinda funny that nobody there noticed the Firebolt front fairing... I forgot to point this out at Michael's. For those of you who were there, remember the Moto Guzzi with the unique side hack? Tell me if the taillight looks familiar... I'm not gonna answer this one - right away... So, any takers on this Buell trivia question? Did I just give too much of it away? I don't think so, but who knows... Oh yeah, since it was alluded to by Webe (It was good riding with you up there!), 1st Place Buell XB and Peoples Choice: To those that were there, thanks! It was good seeing old friends and making new ones too. And, yes, I was able to reassemble the trophies and get them looking pretty much like they do in the pictures. I need to sleep! 1313   1313 Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 09:38 pm:        Seeinstars, I kinda like this pic of your airbox: Good meeting ya! 1313   Jlnance Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 04:54 am:        Well, I can definitively say it is not the taillight from either a Blast or a Uly. It was good seeing you yesterday Brankin. You're not a face I expect to run into at Michales, and it was a nice surprise.   U4euh Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 07:41 am:        Very COOL day indeed! That is how a event should be put together. Nance, sorry I was on the ride with WEBE when you came around. I did see you pull in though. Congrats to 1313 and Seeinstars! Job well done. Mike you need anything after the exit? JIM   Rubberdown Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 10:28 am:        Game on. I leave this evening for two days of on-road and off-road instructor training at the BMW performance center. Should be interesting... and exhausting ... big GS with knobbies in the mud, whew. I hope I get to wear out their road bikes on the 1.7 mile road course as well during "fun time".   Seeinstars Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 03:18 pm:        U4euh says: Mike you need anything after the exit? you talking about when my bike tipped over? that sucked! I caught it before the back hit. All it did was broke the clutch lever scratched the handlebar wind deflector and tore the rubber boot on the shifter. No biggie. I had the stock aluminum levers at home, so I just swapped out and took off the wind deflectors. I ordered a new black lever, shifter boot, and wind deflector today. I also bought some of the cherry bomb red plastics too! -mike (Message edited by seeinstars on April 28, 2008)   Spike Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 05:35 pm:        Hey guys- it was great seeing/meeting everyone at Ray Price this weekend. Big thanks to *everyone* at Ray Price HD/Buell for making this event happen. I was busy with the demo rides and not able to socialize as much as I wanted to, but it was fun to lead the demo rides and I was glad to help. The turnout was great, hopefully this will lead to more events like this from Ray Price. quote: Tell me if the taillight looks familiar... Since no one else called it, that lens is from an S2 Thunderbolt. I *think* the S3 used the same lens, but I'm not sure. What do I win?   Sportymark Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 06:32 pm:        I believe it is also the light from the RR1000, and even the RR1200   Jlnance Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 06:51 pm:        Spike, what route did you all take for the demo rides?   U4euh Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 07:05 pm:        i couldn't tell you what route it was, but it was a good one, about 15-18 miles???? A few good curves, a few good straight, a few traffic stops. Spike really kept a great pace for the group I went on, got a chance to feel what the bike had, in all aspects of the above mentioned. Rubberdown- have fun man and be careful and lil Carlee is on the web, ya'll drop over and say hi to her.   M2nc Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 07:15 pm:        Looks like everyone had a great time at Ray Price over the weekend. Webe came by later and told me all about it. It sounds like it was a huge success. Mike, Jordan and all Ray Price folks you did a great job! I hate that I missed it and hope you do it again, just not at the end of April. Congrats 1313! Spike you beat me to it. I have such little time to badweb anymore. Between work and Daddy duty in the evenings I have little time to surf or ride. If I did not commute to work the bike would not see the light of day for weeks. I hope to get the bike out this weekend if the weather cooperates, any plans?   Spike Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 07:20 pm:        quote: Spike, what route did you all take for the demo rides? We took the back way out of Ray Price to Lake Wheeler, Lake Wheeler down to Penny Rd, Penny to Yates Mill Pond, Yates Mill Pond to Tryon, Tryon back to Lake Wheeler, then back to Ray Price. The route looks something like this:   Spike Posted on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 07:40 pm:        Spotted on Craigslist: 2000 M2 Cyclone $3800 http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/660009265.html   Mikethebike72 Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 07:54 am:        Thanks to everyone for helping make this event a success. Big thanks to Spike and Webe, I know the demos can be rough. We will start planning something for June soon. Any suggestions?
