Author Message   Tank_bueller Posted on Monday, August 17, 2009 - 08:35 pm:        Back from WV. Maybe a little worse for the wear.... ULY IS DOWN!!! For 5k and new rubber. What a ride!!!!!!   S3ter Posted on Monday, August 17, 2009 - 09:17 pm:        I know Duck at Southside. I'll give him a call, thanks. I think I met some of you guys on a ride down Colonial Pkwy a few months back. Duck was there. I was on the Green S3T with silver HD custom paint on hardbags.   S1wmike Posted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 08:09 am:        ULY IS DOWN!!! That SH!T ain't funny   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 10:40 am:        HAHAHA Tank needs a rubber, there is a guy in Williamsburg selling 2 new sets of Rossos for 170 a piece, and get the drummer on Tank. Jimmy   Xb12mel Posted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 - 11:29 am:        Looks Good Barb!... when are we gonna see it in person?   Felicita Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - 01:22 pm:        Melvin (Xb12mel), Thanks so much for your help! You rock!!! 355lbs sure doesn't sound like much until you have to push it a mile Felicia and the little dead Blast   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - 02:00 pm:        It's not dead... it's heart was still thumping. If you want, I can swing by after work (once it's cooled) and take a look at it. I just work on the other side of the bridge construction on Magruder. We can then call on the Wrench God's Tank and Goody if I don't see the problem. Let me know if you can hang out until about 5:30 and I'll stop by.   Felicita Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - 03:14 pm:        It feels like it's about to have massive coronary failure... Someone in the Thumper forum said it might be the carb. It idles rough and giving it any gas just kills it. I'm going to try to get it home tonight (by truck). But if you all want to stop by this weekend, I'll supply parts, food, and as much beer as you want   Tank_bueller Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - 04:01 pm:        Felicia, Read your post in the Thumper section. Sounds like some trash got into the fuel tank and either got sucked through to the carb, or got stuck in the petcock(that's the res/on/off thingy). Either way, you got no gas! Probably a good idea to start by draining the tank and pulling the petcock out for a cleaning/flush, and follow the flow of fuel to the carb, pulling the carb for disassembly and cleaning as well. Doesn't take much to stop up those small jets in the carb.   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - 05:18 pm:        Yeah, it sounded like it was being choked off when she was trying to give it throttle. (as I pushed! ~lol) The closest thing can relate to it is the sound that my weed wacker makes when I give it gas and it isn't warmed up enough yet. I didn't think that it would be the oil, but i was going to check just for the sake of eliminating it as a possibility.   Felicita Posted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - 05:49 pm:        The oil needs to be changed either way. My immediate draw to the oil was that it was very low when I checked it after it died on me and that it was due anyway (yeah, I know I'm wrong ) The BF thinks it's bad gas but doesn't think the carb needs cleaned but that it will evap out. I'll let him have a shot at it but I'm thinking I'll be back asking more questions.

He was unable to drain the gas (the fuel hose wasn't moving) so he put new gas in the tank. 10 minutes later and I had it up in gear. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, and to Melvin, thanks again for the rescue and for coming back to check on me (I was inside the office but someone told me you were out there and had just left).

"flux capacitor" everyone knows a blast can't generate the 1.21 gigawatts required to spin those bearings!   Puphaphil Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 12:30 pm:        Can the blast get up to the required 88mph for time travel?   Twisted2 Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 01:17 pm:        phil with the right mods!! dont need no stinkin flux thingie eithersorry had to post on that note.... 83 so far mel thanks! sometime soon i hope shes screaming now with the exhaust and other mods i found on badweb forums. she can breathe!!   Felicita Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 03:32 pm:        Another Poquoson Thumper? I haven't seen another Blast in the entire area Howdy Twisted 2! I've gotten the Blast to ~90.   Xb12mel Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 03:47 pm:        Felicia.... Wait til you meet "Braces", "Stiguy", "Nillawafer", and "04Blaster" also local Blast Riders. We do a fair amount of riding if your interested in group rides and there's usually plenty of opportunities to hang out and shoot the breeze off the bike if your interested in that sort of thing too. Don't forget wrenching... if you've got a problem with the bike, there's enough collective brain power here to take the thing apart and put it back together again... (without having those scary spare parts when their done!)   04blaster Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 05:28 pm:        hey, am i the only male blast owner here?   S1wmike Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 06:09 pm:        No Matt Bret STIguy is a blaster dude too   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 08:49 pm:        Well fellas and ladies you will all be glad to know that tonight we gave birth to a brand new Bueller. He is a guy I work with and he is now the proud owner of an 09 XB12SCG cherry bomb. Tonite at precisely 1900 (7 pm for you non military types) was the first time he had EVER and I stress EVER rode a motorcycle. With a little bit of practice he was doing awesome in a parking lot. Tomorrow I am going to get him on the roads a little bit. Hopefully he will be making some rides with us real soon. His name is Ron Brown and I am going to get him to post up here tomorrow and introduce himself. I was really impressed with him today he was catching on real quick and was not afraid of the bike at all. He was looking at other bikes but I showed him the light that is BUELL and it was love from then on out. Peace suckas Jimmy   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2009 - 09:58 pm:        Oh yeah wanted to give a shout out to Duck for taking care of Ron. Thats what Buell needs more of is awesome salesmen and women to take care of potential Buell customers. Thanks again Duck   Brownrj Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 10:55 am:        Hey my name is Ron like Bishop said. Just started riding yesterday and already hooked on it. Hope to get out on teh road here soon. anything ya'll would like to know just ask...   Frinzo Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 01:00 pm:        welcome, wheres the pic??   Xb12mel Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 01:10 pm:        Cherry Bomb Scg?... Obviously a man of great taste and intelligence!!! Welcome Ron   09xb12r Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 04:56 pm:        myron what up man how you been . and when did you say you were coming back.   09xb12r Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 04:58 pm:        ron welcome to the group you will have loads of fun with us guys hope to meet you soon   Bishopjb1124 Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 05:13 pm:        Mel his does not have the custom frame marking like yours does. Jimmy   Braces Posted on Friday, August 21, 2009 - 05:22 pm:        Yay more blast riders! I'm glad to see that there are riders who have gotten up to higher speeds than mine has gone. At least I know when I'm ready the bike will be too. =) Look forward to riding with you guys! It may be a while before I get to go on any rides because I just got "promoted" to server which means working every weekend. So unless anyone wants to ride after 4pm, I'm on my own for a while. Feel free to text me if you do (757-291-3102). I don't have internet right now so I won't see any messages for a few days.
