Sorry for the delay gang with the photos. Busy as a cat in a rocking chair factory. Don't hate my work, but I could use less of it.



The exotic of the day.... Sorry to have not caught the riders name. Hope to see you again.




Neat.


Who dat sneeken up behind me?


What a great exhaust note this thing had.






Slightly off topic, and a tip of the hat to Space Balls, and Dark Helmet Man....


Harry's ready....why isn't anyone else? Let's goooooo!!!!








Wish I had a bike in front of me on this shot. Would have been a good pic.


Kind of like this....


Or another couple brush strokes (clicks) later....


Ride safe y'all. I won't be on the next ride, I'll be in NC to ride 129 and the surrounding area for a week. Hopefully the Dragon won't bite me!!!

There's a big sport bike event going on in the Tampa area on Sunday May 31st from noon till 6pm.. Part of the festivities include a bike show, with a domestic category specifically for Buells.

Peabody's is in New Tampa (Tampa Palms) on the corner of Amberly Dr. and Bruce B Downs.

Bike registration for the show will be $10. Following the World Tour theme, the categories are:

Best Japanese 600 (and 750s)
Best Japanese 1000
Best Japanese 1400
Best European
Best Domestic

I'd like to have a good showing of Buells, I'll be there, working a tent representing the Buell Dealership I work for. Again! I'd like to get a good number of Buells up there!! PM me if you have any questions.

-Alton

Ouch - sign o' the times I guess. Even though I just got back from 2 WEEKS riding in Deals Gap, I anxiously await our ride in July. I'm guessing it will be the "second" weekend due to the 4th?

Ted, Sorry to hear that about Jim's. I know the H-D dealers have a hard time selling Buells. The two biggest problems I see is #1. An old gray haired dude with a pony tail, tattoos,and an attitude can't be a salesman to sport minded riders. And #2. H-D/Buell has to get on the financing bandwagon that the metric sport bike dealers use. The big four all have credit card type lines of credit to make it possible for younger riders to get financed and not have to carry full coverage insurance. Fortunatly (??) older riders can get decent rates, but most 18-25 year olds have to pay 2000 to 2500 a year for full coverage on any sportbike with conventional financing. This just makes buying a Buell very difficult for the younger crowd, and let's face it, us older riders can't keep all the Buell dealers in business. I just hope H-D/Buell makes some changes so that we don't loose more dealers. Brian

I'm really not that surprised from my past dealings with one of the sales guys.

like you said brian it was that bull dog HD take it or leave it attitude.



I'd be really pissed If I had bought a bike from them then they dropped the line..

From what I've heard once they drop the line they drop parts and service as well..

Just means one less I can get parts locally if need it fast..

I deal with Fletcher's HD most of the time.. They have a very decent selection of buells and parts.

One of the Owners/Sales manager has a bunch of buells.

In FLORIDA you do not to buy "ANY" INSURANCE if you own the bike ...

"SO" what you would pay for full coverage a year pays the interest on the credit card being a young rider ...

Yes, that is correct on the insurance, there is a catch 22 though,(my best friend is a Deputy Sherriff) you are not required to have liability insurance if you own the motorcycle, BUT if you are involved in an accident you can get a ticket for uninsured vehicle. (he thinks it is crazy too!) Anyway the problem is that most young riders do not own thier bikes outright and so the insurance becomes an issue for them.

Wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round...sorry would look cooler with a Buell ring up front.




It's official: two out of three riders did not have a nice breakfast. Hope the bike and wrists are ok you guys.


One of the outlaw riders. Thought this was Buell ride? I know, I'm a defector too. But enjoy the company and class.


More evidence that two wheels of any type are accepted.


Especially the dead sexy ones. Would have liked to grab some moving shots of this Italian stallion.


Hey Harry !! You cut your beard...missed that while at breakfast.


Got my crayons out for a quick sketch.




Biker gang. Guy I was chatting with was remarking he'd never seen so many Buells in one place. Invited him to ride with us. He looks here once in a while. Hope he comes out to play.


Crappy aim, sorry Richard.


The brother from another mother..






Self portrait....


I've got some video, that will take a bit to shave down to YouTube size. Maybe up by this weekend. Still not happy with my vid set up.

Happy trails y'all.

The Buell crusher truck just showed up at my house...they said they have an order to crush my Blast into a coffee table...

Since Mr. Buell says that my Blast is such a POS, I guess there is no need to even try to run for it...I'm sure that 60 ton crusher rig will run me down, outcorner me, and swat me like a fly...I knew I should have bought something fast like a 1965 Honda Cub.

On the next club ride...if I put casters under my new "coffee table", will one of you guys tow me along???

Is that not ridiculous? HE designed and built the bike, sold it to you as innovative and now your the guy holding the pile? And your not a sport bike rider. Nor are you part of the pirate crowd. Nice Erik. Way to alienate the base.

Glad I moved on. Hang in there Harry. There is bound to be a cult following of some sort - like the Vespa crowd.

Hey, there should be a few floor models left right? I'm there!! After seeing Harry keep his wound up that well, I would seriously consider a Blast. If I was looking, and Erik and the elves were better to the riders.

Ride Sunday! Yeah!!! Rode with a sport bike group a couple weekends ago - not good. Mostly too much testosterone and bravado. Plus no breakfast. What kind of group rides super early in the morning and doesn't stop to shoot the stuff and have a good meal?!?

See y'all Sunday.
