Author Message   Dobieg2002 Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 07:51 am:        I wish I could but I will be out of town with the family.   Dobieg2002 Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 08:51 am:        XB9 Cluster http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-2004-Buell-XB9 S-Instrument-Cluster-speedometer_W0QQcmdZViewItemQ Q_trkparmsZ72Q3a1171Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7 c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a6Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksi dZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem1e56d3869bQQitemZ1303 05722011QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories   Thump4fun Posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 - 09:44 am:        Post up on the COBRA website for Euro Bike Night. Pics thanks to Mike!   Circusninja Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 04:46 pm:        Checked out the bike today, 2005 XB9SX and the start up check worked fine, the needles did their little dance. The guy selling it says it is an intermittent problem. I decided I will take it off his hands... just have to wait to take the cast off my hand to ride it. (Broken 5th Metacarpal, RT hand) All I am going to say about that is that I am a martial arts instructor   Thump4fun Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 06:19 pm:        CONGRATS on the bike!! I'm not an electrical expert, nor do I play one on TV, but...sounds to me like a short somewhere. Or maybe a loose power connection to the cluster. I'm sure that you could ask anyone here to give you a hand (pun intended) and ride the bike home for you if you want to get it into your garage sooner rather then later. And it's good to know we have some martial artist protection now. Gotta keep those pesky rice burners in line. LOL!!   Circusninja Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 06:31 pm:        Lol, Shodan, trained in mma, Shotokan, Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Jujutsu, and Bansenshukai Ninjutsu. Also a Federal Ossifer... he he he If anyone is interested, I have a donations only school in Mount Vernon. I will have a friend of mine help me with the speedo problem, he is the parts guy at Cycle Search in Delaware, he is also one of my newest students at the dojo.   Thump4fun Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 07:21 pm:        Good luck on the speedo problem. I'm sure it's solvable, and hopefully in an easy and little or no cost manner. Totally off subject - I've been interested in Krav Maga for some time actually. I've been able to walk or talk my way out of most any fight, but after I got mugged (left with a broken nose and little dignity after running for my life) I've wanted to learn to deal with situations where it came down to me or him. Look for a PM from me about your school.   Toona Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 08:20 pm:        Wolf, I talked to Pellis today, he's still up for coming to the Res Ride. Anyone else coming over to Altoona, PA next weekend?   Mikef5000 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 06:13 pm:        I'm out. Work Friday and Saturday and camping Sunday and Monday.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 12:21 pm:        Anyone else coming over to Altoona, PA next weekend? It doesn't look like it.... I am going to start heading East on Thursday after work..... by my lonesome.... No Biggie. People need to spend time with their Families.... But I gotta RIDE!! WOOOO HOOOO! I can't wait!   Arctic9r Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 06:38 pm:        I'm not going to make it. But i will make the meeting on Weds at Barley's. Again I might be a little late.   Scheetz31 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 09:53 pm:        ill be there on weds...look forward to meeting you all   Wolfridgerider Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 10:13 pm:        Well I'm going to need to do some running tomorrow if I'm going to be able to ride to Barley's Got the wheels and replacement tires in the truck, gotta get home and pack for the Res Ride.... BUSY BUSY BUSY OIL!! I need OIL...   Thump4fun Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 09:08 am:        Dude - methinks I see your belt! Probably not a good thing. LOL   Dobieg2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 01:22 pm:        I don't know I wouldn't worry about it you probably have a good mile or 2 in them still   Wolfridgerider Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 01:37 pm:        you probably have a good mile or 2 in them still... that would be my thought...LOL Got "new" skins on the rims in the back of the truck. Gotta run home and get them mounted so I can make Barleys!   Circusninja Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 05:59 pm:        WooT! Today is the eve of me becoming an official Bad Weather Biker...somewhat. I will be buying my first bike in a loooooooooong time (last bike was a dirt bike in high school) 2005 Buell Lightning XB9SX CityX, Translucid Hero Blue. Too stinking bad I won't be able to ride it till June 8th (Stupid broken hand in a cast) lol Also, Wolf, look for a PM from me requesting my profile to be updated...   Circusninja Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 07:06 pm:        Aaaarrrrgggghhh! Murphy's law strikes again! It may be next week before I get my bike! Oh well, can't ride it right now anyway...   Thump4fun Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 09:53 pm:        Translucid Hero Blue - very cool! Sorry to hear that Murphy's law struck you down tonight. I actually manage the COBRA website, so I'll go ahead and update your profile with your new bike. Congrats!!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 10:32 pm:        So how was the Lube?   Dobieg2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 10:40 pm:        Busy, a lot of cool bikes especially the 4 Buells these really cool guys rode in on... On a more serious note there were some really nice bikes the busa's were crazy powerful looking. I think we need to get some cards or something to put them on all the Buells we see around. There wan an 1125r that was new from Hales, didn't see the owner.

I read it last night and was left scratching my head.....LOL Andrew.... you need to go there on a night that they are giving a bike away...   Thump4fun Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 09:27 am:        COBRA cards? Funny you mention that...Lisa and I were just talking about that the other day. How about something like this? I can get 500 like this for about $25 (the price more then doubles if we want to use our own logo & design): Front of card: Back of card: Thoughts? (Message edited by thump4fun on May 21, 2009)   Dobieg2002 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 09:29 am:        I'm getting close to my 35th BDay... My mind is failing me I forgot how to count... I really enjoyed getting together again last night... Good times... Good People. I hope we continue to get more of our members involved.   Dobieg2002 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 09:33 am:        Looks good Bruce. Get the word out there to all the Buell riders we see. (I got the idea from you last night)...   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 10:32 am:        I like the idea Bruce.... beats putting a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper on someones bike. I will forward this idea to our local dealer to see if we can get a little "Help" It would be cool to have them business card size so they would fit in your wallet.   Thump4fun Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 10:45 am:        Well maybe I'll just go ahead and order a batch. They're only about $25 and they are actual business cards. I ordered Lisa some personal cards last year so I know the quality is pretty good for the price. Hey Mark aren't you supposed to be on the road? Or are you multi-tasking while you ride? LOL Sitting in Farrows at Northstar myself, waiting on my clutch cable being replaced.   Circusninja Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 10:57 am:        Man, that sounds like you guys had a great time, my friend who works at Cycle Search in Delaware has a turbocharged Busa, 243hp at the wheel. Scary.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 11:01 am:        I'm gonna leave work at 11:16 That will be 4 hours after I clocked in this morning.... 1/2 day here... go home, eat, water the garden, kiss the wife and hit the road! Can't wait!!! 15 min. to go!!
