I got a new lid Saturday a Brand new Arai McCoy edition RX-7 Corsair. Light weight better vision, quiet. I see why they cost so much but let's just say I was in the right place at the right time.

Hello all, tank invited me for an intro. I'm a Marine stationed at Little Creek and the proud owner of an 04 XB9X and an 05 XB12Scg. Look forward to posting here and hope I have some good scoop to pass. I have a buddy in my command who also has an 03 XB9 and an 06 XB12SS. Ride safe!! |

"Clydesdale"
I enjoy a few Buds myself.
Until now, I was the only one with two Buells, although nobody has seen the second one. According to some, I have imaginary friends too.
Welcome! |

Tank, actually I'm a Miller guy. Clydesdale was my call sign in iraq. I was the platoon commander for a mobile assault platoon in Ramadi. Our Battalion Commander wanted all of the "MAPs" to have call signs of horses. I got stuck with the big dumb horse! |

Hey Todd... It was the 990. I got the chance to walk up on one today that was parked on the Sidewalk. Interesting bike. I had a co-worker ask me where they were made... i didn't know. Do you? |

Jeff,

Im back now!!! Home sweet Home... The funny thing, yesterday on the plane from Frankfurt to Philly, I sat next to a young girl. When we were on our final descent, I looked out of the window and said... AAAHHHH it's good to be home. She asked me "how long you've been gone?" when I told her a week, she liked to have fell out of her seat laughing at me. I asked... Ok, well how long have you been gone? and she said 18 months! I told her, "I don't see how you can do it" Turns out she's in the Army and is home on leave. Her Uncle Sam made her do it! |

Welcome I'm one of the few that live on the southside, and the only one here that rides an OLD BUELL. Post up if you want to make some local rides or ride out to the Hampton rally points.

Thanks for the invite, I will be taking you up on that sometime in the near future. Right now the only riding I will be doing is to and from work! Crazy schedule to include weekends, but I will post up as soon as I see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel! Thanks again and safe riding. |

Anyone know how to use ecmspy? My 05 XB12Scg is running pretty rough in the idle and has died twice while in idle. I've been advised to try a reset. There is no leaks and my fluids and oil is good. I'd like to learn the ecmspy software but I'm not the most computer savvy guy around. |

Hey folks, I dunno if this is the proper place to do this. I have a Eton 90 Viper, electric start, automatic, oil injected, 2-stroke 4-wheeler that I will let go for about $900. I bought it for my son in 06 brand new and it has been ridden occasionally by the wife. My son has outgrown it and doesn't ride it. Its a great toy for the kids and ready to ride, excellent condition and makes a great pit bike/beer truck....LOL. I have gear and boots for the kids as well. This is an excellent 4-wheeler and not a PeP Boys special. I bought it from a KTM dealer. Paid $1900 new. Very dependable and easily carries an adult for puttin around. email me or call 876-2608 or 877-7840

Sorry for getting back late Mel....KTMs are made in Austria. Long ago (50s&60s) they were called Pentons. Ducatis they are NOT! KTM is a powerhouse in Europe and Im sure you noticed it over there. Im a BIG fan of them and have one still in the garage....When that new 690 SMC becomes available...hehehe, I'll have one. |

Cool Thanks Todd.
Dave, I think you need (or would want) 12" tires on the trailer for Highway Speeds. Stay away from the 8" ones. That being said, I don't know if you can swap them out. May have a problem with the lug pattern.

Hey Jeff... Did you get the cable? I think that's the biggest hurdle with ECM Spy. I've seen it on Tank's PC and it looks pretty straight forward. (I've already downloaded a copy to my pc, but I haven't gotten the cable yet.) |

No cable Mel, I've really just started to research ecmspy and what it can do. Do you know where Tank got his cable? I was under the impression you had to build one...or maybe that was if you weren't using a usb connection. Crap, I gotta go read again! |

I got the cable from a member here.
His username is Jmhinkle.
Do a search and send him a pm.
I can also help out if needed. Let me know.

OK..so, just for the record....
3 new Peninsula sightings...
1 Black S1 or Cyclone... (tubers all look alike...but then again so do XBs!) heading south on Magruder
1 Yellow XB9 on Hampton Roads Pwky... and it wasn't Tank!
1 Yellow X1(?) heading north on Magruder.
Did someone have a sale? Duck said they were moving them out of the door, but does that include Tubers as well? Maybe $4 gas is bringing the bikes out for more then just weekend rides? Dunno... Anyone ever chase down a fellow Bueller just to see who it was? |

Hey Guys... you missed one heck of a party Saturday night!!! I don't know who all was invited because it was a surprise (for me). But Dave and his family were there, so I'm sure some of you were.
Thanks Dave for coming out. |

Happy Birthday Mel! 
(belated)
Your wife asked if i could get you out of the house for a while, but you weren't having any of that. I called her Friday and told her you weren't biting, and that she was going to have to kick your but out of the house.
Good ride though. We'll have to take that route more often. |

Fellas I have seen the Buells you are talking about up here on the Penninsula rippin around....hard not to miss them. I seen the yellow Bolt and the XB the other day, of course I was in the truck and not on my 9sx. Oh well we will catch up with them soon. Goody |
