Author Message   Odie Posted on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - 03:01 pm:        New12r- it's been too long since I've talked with you guys. Just been way too busy with the businesses and work. I hear you laid it down. Not hurt much though. Get Sam to nurse ya and you'll be good. What's wrong with the Uly and what do you want for it? I have a few folks talkin' BS once in a while about getting a Buell. Tell the boss I said hey.   Black_sunshine Posted on Wednesday, November 26, 2008 - 04:06 pm:        Odie...what up? In Central Pa with 4" of fresh snow. Gonna take Anna out in it tomorrow. Should be a trip. Friday I'm gonna try my hand at some pheasant hunting with my new .20 gauge. Should be like shooting fish in a barrel with all this snow. I'll post up some pics.   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 12:25 am:        Haha, that's cute Charlie.   Odie Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 10:21 am:        BS- I wish we were there with ya'll. It's about 55 here and sunny. We really miss the snow but we are tied to the businesses these days. Ah, to have a life again...Once we win the Redneck Retirement Fund (lottery) we'll be there. Oh, wait, someone is supposed to be bringing us a big bag-o-cash soon so everything will be alright. Anyways, everyone have great Thanksgiving. Lots to be thankful for.   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 09:09 pm:        Hope all of you 3%er's had a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!   New12r Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 02:38 pm:        Well it looks like I am in for Jennings on the 27th of Dec!! My mom asked what I wanted, so I wrote down the website and said "intermediate group". So we will prolly head down on Fri(day after Christmas) and ride Sat. Sleep over Sat. night and head home sunday! I know Shred and Rose will be there, anyone else??   Sanchez Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 03:32 pm:        Damn, I'm never going to get to ride with you guys. I'll be in Texas for Christmas.   Smoke Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 03:44 pm:        Laird's going and i am signing up for the weekend. Michael said something about it also. see y'all there. tim   New12r Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 03:49 pm:        Damn, I'm never going to get to ride with you guys. I'll be in Texas for Christmas. Yes you will, I am hoping things will work out better in 09 so I can do a few more track days.   Badhabit Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 - 05:25 pm:        I'm SO Glad to be back on a Buell, just wanted to say hi to the 3% crew, Charlie, You're boy is awesome, he looks just like you!

I wish I could go to Jennings with ya or at least be in town (playing in the sand box right now) to give you a placed to stay. Once again I miss out! enjoy the track day.   Black_sunshine Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 08:24 am:        Thanksgiving fun: I am standing beside Uncle Bill who is back from his second tour in Iraq. Dude was shootin' birds from the hip with his 12 gauge that dosen't leave his side when he is in Iraq. He is going back in 6 months...lets wish him well and a safe return.   Glitch Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 02:18 pm:        How many did you bag Will? Looks like fun, even if it looks extra cold!   Black_sunshine Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 06:27 pm:        4 with a couple of assists. Yes, Cold.   Digital Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 10:50 pm:        Hey all. I need to ask some advice/help from my local Buell'ers. The plain and simple of it..... I must race! So. AS things stand now, I have an 05 xb12scg with about 11k on it. Still runs like a champ. I have put a Firebolt front end on it with the clip-ons. I have taken it on the track a few times and She does all right. Over the years I have put some money into her. As things stand now I have a full Micron system with an ECM retune via ECMspy with maps from AL at americansportbike, also Sato rearsets, plus various levers and windscreens, and saftey wiring, and the new belt. Plus a Belly Pan on hold right this second. I was considering some CCS races. But I wanted to talk with someone who has raced a Buell. I have a few concerns. 1)I have the cg model which means a shorter suspension, so I may have to do a swap with someone. (I have both S and R top Triples) to get a better setup for the track (plus a trip to the boys at Traxxion) 2) She still has the S back end. I'm not sure how this would affect classifications and if it would pass as 'stock'. ie: the vin# is for an S, so would I have to take the R front off... (not excited about that) and would they allow me to put the new 8 piston caliper on it. 3) When I start considering things like full fairings and a chain conversion and then the matter of the racing swing arm. That is a lot of upfront $$$ just to get on the track. 4) I have run a couple of days on a preped 600 gsxr (a lot of fun). A quick scan of the racing forums show a silly amount of fully prepped bikes from full superbike tune on down for sale. So from a "Money" only aspect I could liquidate the Buell and parts (before I trash them) and that would cover the cost of a good condition 06' superstock 600. Anyone know what it would take to get dealer support, like Stone Mountain HD (unlikely I know) For the record. I have no children. A wife who fully supports the idea. A Nissan Titan truck. Tools and good mechanical skills. My job is artistic in nature, so I decide when I want/need to work. I maybe have a full years budget of 8k depending on how much work I can get (maybe more if I get good). That is for everything ie: tires, fuel, entry fees and so on. I have no delusions of grandeur, that is to say I would be happy if I ever made the podium of any amateur class, or maybe make the grid at a MOTO-ST event All that said. I love my Buell. Selling it would suck. I know that buying a 600 would put me in with about 1000 other guys just like me, which is why I got the Buell in the first place. I really appreciate any input you guys may have. Thanks Chris Motta   Glitch Posted on Saturday, November 29, 2008 - 11:53 pm:        You ought to post this on the quick board or in the racing section. There are lots of people that race. Wolfridgerider races an XB12R with an S tail, so he could help you with regards to that. Good Luck!   Digital Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 01:23 am:        Thanks Glitch. So posted.   Shred Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 11:40 am:        See ya at Jennings Tim Good luck Digital, haven't raced any CCS races where there is a large Buell group of racers but did a full season with WERA in 07' and about raced about 6 or 7 races in 08. So if you decide to race in WERA I'd be happy to help out. Their should be a few more folks racing Buells in WERA this year. BTW, I'll be at Tally GP in Feb. for WERA's first race of the season. You got PM   Glitch Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 01:16 pm:        Alright y'all. I've been working on a logo for us that I can reproduce without fear of infringement. This is what I've come up with. If this is good with y'all I'll go ahead and get the t-shirts ready so we can have them for MB-VI. I'd like to have this on the back. Both are my designs, so we can use them how we want. If y'all get on soon enough, I'll be able to have our names put on the back, your choice, BadWeB name, and/or your real name. What do y'all think?   Glitch Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 01:44 pm:        Any suggestions on coloring the logo? or just leave it the way it is?   New12r Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 04:43 pm:        I like em! Maybe I will have surprise coming soon to help me live up to my name...   Glitch Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 05:07 pm:        SWEET! 08? 09?   New12r Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 06:47 pm:        8, Trying something out, may not work but giving it a shot.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 06:52 pm:        Nice, Dave. I like them just the way they are.   Digital Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 07:31 pm:        Thanks for the responses guys. The boys over at the racers post are fillin it up quickly! Without a doubt I will be keeping the Buell. So. Fist things first. Any of my ATL crew interested in some shorty suspension? I thought I would give you guys first dibs. The SCG has the 41mm fork tubes... and I am interested in the 43mm forks. So I will be offering the upper and lower clamps (I have both the R and S tops in 41mm) as well as the shock and the side stand. I would like to do a straight swap, but am willing to sell. Everything is in great shape. Forks are about ready for an oil swap otherwise they are perfect. The R top clamp has a rub mark on the paint from a poor key fob choice. The shock spring has a small rub on the yellow paint from where it rubbed against a poorly routed tranny vent hose. If no takers I will post up to the classified section, eventually. Thanks All.   Shred Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 08:05 pm:        We'll Dave sense you asked, I like the shield w/3%er logo be itself. Its simple and got that classic look to it. Digital, Are you going to race CCS or WERA?   Digital Posted on Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 08:47 pm:        Shred, Good question. I am sitting here trying to decide. Any thoughts? I am trying to make sense of the rules and classes. I don't have a racing license yet, but I have been to the Schwantz school. It doesn't look like CCS recognizes that particular school. From the forms, it seems like WERA does. At this moment I am leaning towards WERA   Shred Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 06:56 am:        WERA!WERA!WERA!WERA! Don't know much about CCS rules, but WERA offers a the race license class at some of their races the day before the race along with the regular practice groups. Classes between the practice sessions. Its cheap too! Didn't know WERA excepted K-S school, thats cool if they do but I'd take the WERA class. Think their is one at Tally GP in Feb BTW, I can understand wanting to race CCS, they have a good program, lots of Buell folks too. WERA use to not be as Buell friendly but they've been changing rules and wanting to have a couple classes for Buells to race in. The Drummer team " Marty and Kevin" did pretty good in 07' at in the National series. Good luck, keep in touch.   Ratyson Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 09:29 am:        Hey Charlie, did you get my email the other day? Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!   New12r Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 03:50 pm:        Russ, got it! THANKS!
