Author Message   Hughlysses Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 06:39 pm:        Jim- you should just graft your Uly subframe on that thing!   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 07:31 pm:        Is that a TT with passenger pegs?   Hughlysses Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2008 - 09:10 pm:        Hey guys, I rode up to Carolina Motorsports Park today near Kershaw, SC and met up with Rubberdown, his wife, and Rachel. US Desmo was having a track day and Mike was out there burning it up in the expert class: Rachel expressing skepticism toward's Mike's claim that "he's going to take it easy" in the next session...   Spectrum Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 12:06 am:        Jim - Yes a TT with Passenger pegs. Belongs to my friend Jason.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 06:41 am:        I demoed a TT at VIR. It was a fantastic bike. If I didn't care about 2 up, I'd have one.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 07:35 am:        Rubberdown, Ray Price has a GS1200 they took in on trade. What can you tell me about that model? Can one do their own servicing and is this one of the models with final drive issues?   Rubberdown Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 11:11 am:        Nance, The GS1200 is a really excellent bike. I recently spent three full days on one guiding an Adventure Tour. Very comfortable and adaptable to many types of riding. Maintenance is easy. I've done all my maintenance on the HP2 since the 600 mile run in service. It now has 20,000 on it. I'm a BIG fan of the Telelever front end and the switchable ABS brakes. I'm not crazy about the '05 through '06 servo-assist brake, so I recommend '07 and later. It's really just a matter of preference. My '05 R1200ST had the servo-assist brakes and they had astonishing power but I did not like the noise and feel so much. I'd seriously look at the Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) as you can change on the fly for different suspension settings and it makes changing the suspension for a passenger push button. It works really well. Actually, I've come to appreciate the GS so much that my next bike will probably be an R1200GS Adventure. (I'm keeping the HP2, it's an incredible machine). I've never had a final drive issue with the 4 bikes I've owned so I can't really speak to that. With dual-spot knobbies, the GS is very capable off-road. You have to ride it differently than a 240lb dirt bike but if ridden correctly it is amazing in its capabilities. I believe BMW dealers offer 24 hour test rides, check it out.

Larry   Zxzer04 Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 02:06 pm:        http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/886398988.html And this must be a scam...Seems like a half price sale. Larry   Spike Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 - 03:12 pm:        Looks like it's craigslist day I stumbled across this one. The ad isn't new, but the price is too good not to share ('05 XB9R $3500): http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/861004777.html   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 12:05 pm:        Would y'all like me to add some stuff? T-shirts etc... anything really Suggestions?   Zxzer04 Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 12:22 pm:        Car and Bike Flags.....   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 02:14 pm:        Would love to see Carolina Corner Carvers added to maybe the t-shirts. Can we get sweatshirts/hoodies?   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 02:36 pm:        T-shirts, Hoodies (pullovers & ones with zippers) as well as sweatshirts I can do. What colors would y'all like? Flags? Not sure about flags, I'll have to check my local vendor.   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 03:43 pm:        Don't know how hard it would be, but I think coffe mugs, glasses, or coasters would be cool!   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 05:58 pm:        I'm on it! All of it! I'll let y'all know when it's up.   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 07:28 pm:        I love GlitchCo! I think Buell should be talking to you as well!   Bigdaddy Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 07:50 pm:        C3 hoodie I'm in.   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 08:30 pm:        Glitch - what have you found out about having our names put on these? I'd be willing to pay extra!   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 08:33 pm:        www.cafepress.com/GlitchCo Alright y'all! Hoodies T-Shirts Mugs All up and ready for ya. Y'all have your own section! I'll have to look into the car flags later this week. I'm headed down to Macon with Mike tomorrow. Not working, I just need to get out of the house for a while. I'll be back in the evening if y'all need me for something. I love GlitchCo! Why, thank you Kristi! That means a lot.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 08:37 pm:        Glitch - what have you found out about having our names put on these? I'd be willing to pay extra! I can do it. It's about $5 or $7 extra. Just let me know what you want your name on and I'll get it put up. I'll do it either tomorrow night, or Thursday morning. Any particular font you would like me to use? Fancy? Script? Block? Grunge? I have all kinds. I'll get with you latter on the font. Good night y'all!   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 08:41 pm:        I'm gonna be BROKE! Thanks Glitch! This takes C3 much further than I could have taken it.   Bigdaddy Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 09:10 pm:        Glitch rocking it   Xb9ser Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 08:34 am:        thanks Glitch   Shadyplace20 Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 09:50 am:        Saw "my bike" headed south on Capital Blvd yesterday at 6pm. Not really mine but looked like mine. Red Firebolt. Was that anyone here?   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 09:54 am:        Could have been Mikethebike or Spike?   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 10:05 am:        Thanks for the help yesterday Mike. Sportymark - I've got a friend searching for a 79 shovelhead. Got any leads?   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 10:07 am:        Shadyplace - If there was a tailbag on that firebolt, and a rider with a white helmet, it's Mike.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 11:20 am:        It was Mike, the other Mike.   Spike Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2008 - 12:27 pm:        quote: Saw "my bike" headed south on Capital Blvd yesterday at 6pm.
