They test that against the ducati motard in this months sport rider.... Less displacement, but they liked it better.

I was reading that article in Sport Rider. It made me want one even more. I love my Buell but think i'd like to try something different. I've always been a big fan of the Supermoto style bikes.

Yeah...sitting around for days on end on my azz is NOT my cup of tea...

Scott - definitely agree...got much better on the clutch and a better feel for control when accelerating hard...

Saintly...Butch? Really? Damn...guess I'll have to work on that... I'm hoping to see you guys at the HH ride...but won't be on my bike...I'll be a support driver.

All - I'm on blood thinners now...will be for the next 3-6 months...so the bike is getting mothballed for the rest of the season...just not worth the risk if I have the smallest of accidents...even cuts are going to be a possible major issue.

Catch ya all at a breakfast as soon as I can get out of the house.

Race report

Saturday Race 8 NV THBK
I didn't run any of the practice sessions due to wet but changing conditions and I didn't want to keep changing my wheels. I was gridded in 2B which I found out that you can't see the flagger from that position. I ended up getting a good start and was third into turn one. Into turn 3 I got passed close on the inside, but I held my line and my speed. Determined to hang with the leaders I went into 6 a bit hot. At the apex my rearend came around on me and I thought for sure I was going to highside. Instead, it bucked a bit when it regained traction and pretty much tore the bike out of my hands. I slid away and the bike stayed upright and rolled pretty far into the infield grass between 5 and 6. I got up completely uninjured, not even a bruse. The bike was unrideable and I need to fix a few things to get it ready for the next round. Nothing expensive, just going to take a bit of my time. I wish I could have seen a picture or a video of that.

Read his post above....he don't have one....

Sounds like he came into 6 to hot and ran out of talent...

Well, at least it's an Buell. If your expectations are low, you won't be disappointed.....

Man I am going to have to step down, I was hoping to stir the pot a little around here since it has been so damned quiet since the last show.

Scotty the floor is all yours!

What is this "seasons out" of which you speak?

Sorry, saw that and couldn't help myself. My origins are NW PA. I still remember stuffing newspapers into my jacket to stay warm on the evening ride from Chautauqua Lake, NY to Girard, PA back when I was in High School riding dad's CBR450.

The end of Lowell bike night is what I refer to.

I'da thought an old coot such as youself probably has some sweet flannel kicking around. No need to dress like a hobo.
