Author Message   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 10:32 am:        Sounds like it was a rough weekend for New12r and Sanchez. Glad you are both ok.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 10:50 am:        Damn Matt! Glad to hear you're ok. I too had a little mishap getting my bike off the truck yesterday. I forgot to leave the truck mat at the house, so as I was backing the bike down the board, I put on the front brake to slow the decent. It slid on the bed mat, the rear tire rolled off the board, while the front finally gripped the board, at the same time, pulling the board away from the truck bed. Down came the bike all at once, but I held on with all I had. I was gripping the bars, holding the brake, and sticking a leg way out to try and keep the bike from falling over. It felt like an eternity, just standing there on one leg trying to keep the bike upright. FINALLY I gained control and got the bike on the sidestand without dropping it. I did the quick look-around to see who saw my comic landing. I'm sure whomever did see me peed their pants laughing. It HAD to be a funny sight. Charlie, I hope you're feeling better! Seems like that bug is making the rounds pretty quickly.   Ramm Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 11:19 am:        Here are some pics I took of Matt's little mishap. They Uly held up damn good. It was good meeting you today, sucks it ended a little early.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 12:49 pm:        Sure is good to see you standing beside the bike this time, rather than it upside down, and you lying between two trees!   Shred Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 01:07 pm:        Matt, Glad your o.k, I know somebody that got a salvaged Uly. Give me your parts list and I'll if has has it. Btw, Cycle Gear only had the light weight end sliders, think they wanted 15-20 bucks. Charlie's got the stomach bug? Hope passes quickly. Nic's had it friday night while we were camping, Shelley's was sunday but she kept getting sick -dry heaving so bad to where I took here to the ER. they gave her nausea medicine and a pat on the back. The bug got me yesterday around 4am, nice was to wake up, lol! Lasted until late-afternoon. BTW, Eastside med' said they had over 75 people with the "Stomach Bug" within 2 days and Gwinnett Med. That's a lot of sick people......   Sanchez Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 01:27 pm:        > Give me your parts list and I'll if has has it. Cool. I need the handlebars for sure and maybe also the mirror mounts. > 75 people with the "Stomach Bug" within 2 days Probably a terrorist plot. > It was good meeting you today Nice to meet you too. Hopefully next time will go a bit better.   Kdan Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 05:21 pm:        -PSA- If you are going to put a $600 car that runs on Craplist, you better be prepared to spend some time in front of the computer. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/1364327920.h tml Holy Moly   New12r Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 06:05 pm:        Dang it Matt! Glad you are alright. I railed the snot out of 75 sat. Well hopefully you made some coin Dan! feeling much better today.   Smokescreen Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 06:41 pm:        Sorry to hear about everyone's meetings with the North GA wildlife. Consider yourselves lucky! Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Silverbullet!   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 10:26 pm:        I had to fill the brake fluid reservoir. Could be clutch issues. The brake and clutch share the reservoir.   Riding_tall Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 11:17 pm:        Matt, glad your ok. I spent the weekend getting trying not to give myself a concussion on a home made slip-n-slid, we had our nephew's over for the weekend. Little kid's and big kids all had fun.   Kdan Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - 11:19 pm:        Could be clutch issues. I thought that too...Except that when you are parked and you push on the brake, it s l o w l y eases to the floor and a little puddle happens on the ground right around the left rear door. I did discover, however, that you can drive from Fargo ND to Eau Claire Wi without using the brakes even once!! You want to avoid rush hour in Minneapolis though.   Smoke Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 06:41 am:        glad to see everyone made it through the weekend!!! me too. local trackday past sunday with no issues. the fast guys were teaching race school in C group so i was experimenting with lines in my 2 slowest spots. didn't feel faster but they said i was. had fun! Barber next month for AHRMA- sound of thunder or something like that. need more tires. stay safe, tim(Matt-quit fallin down dude!)happy B-day Bobby!   Kdan Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 11:50 am:        Don't know if it's eggzackly legal to post this, so if I'm in the wrong, someone remove it and I'm sorry(Sorry I got caught). The new Buell stickers are out and if you want one, go to www.buell.com/badge and they'll send you one. The redemption code on mine was, BOB34 Got this info off the back of the new sticker I scored at the Buell factory. See below.   Ramm Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 09:20 am:        Sweet! Thanks, sticker ordered!   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 01:14 pm:        Well my bike is ••••••• Won't shift out of 2nd. Guess BTF is OUT   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 01:22 pm:        Well my bike is ••••••• Won't shift out of 2nd. Guess BTF is OUT That sucks! I think there is an emergency meeting at the Buell Barn to get your bike ready for BTF. You have to be there!   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 01:34 pm:        Sorry to hear that Glitch, how many miles were you up to? When my bike was new, 50k miles then a case split sounded pretty reasonable. Now, after 30k of absolutely flawless miles, I'm getting spoiled. On the up side, it sounds like an XB case split might not be the level of rocket science I thought it was... I did it on a 2 stroke, and it took a lot of time and prep, but was very doable. Let us know how it goes...   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:15 pm:        I think there is an emergency meeting at the Buell Barn to get your bike ready for BTF. No amount of Barn will help with me being as broke as I am. I simply haven't any money. Reep, I'm at about 65thousand. Not scared of splitting the case really. I just haven't got anyway to replace anything that may need to be replaced. I was doing good to be able to afford to just go, and this is just the icing on the cake. You have to be there! It won't be any fun at all without my bike. (Message edited by glitch on September 10, 2009)   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:21 pm:        I have a Blast you can ride...and a 50!   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:34 pm:        Bring your bike to the Buell Barn. We'll tear it down this weekend, order parts, and put it back together next weekend. I have plans Saturday, but I can hang out all day Sunday.   Kdan Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:37 pm:        Glitch, you can be there. Stop by here and pick one to ride. Connie's probably not riding, so I've got an SV650, KLR, CB750 and the Buell. Not to mention the scooter with the roof. Ride my KLR up there and I'll have both bikes I'll want to ride, cause I can't ride two at the same time. Gimme a call, dude.   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:40 pm:        > I just haven't got anyway to replace anything that may need to be replaced. Think positive. Maybe we'll get the clutch off and find it's something easy like a broken spring on a pawl that won't even require us to split the cases. > It won't be any fun at all without my bike. Bah. We've got your back. It would only be an afternoon's work to get my gixxer back to street legal. If Ann wants to ride too, you can take my Ulysses, and I'll ride the Suzuki.   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:49 pm:        Think positive. Maybe we'll get the clutch off and find it's something easy This past weekend I was texting Sanchez and Carlos talked to Charlie about an issue he was having with the Uly. He was afraid it was the clutch going, but after a service and adjustment, the Uly is back up to par. We were a little worried, but it all worked out. Buell Barn helpers to the rescue long distance!   Ulywife Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:50 pm:        PS - you have great friends!   Smokescreen Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 02:51 pm:        I feel your pain Glitch. I have my Tiger sitting in the garage needing a valve service. Haven't ridden it in almost 2 months now. And my money situation ain't looking any better. It's a mother****er for sure.   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 03:41 pm:        Y'ALL ARE THE BEST! Sorry to be so negative. Ann's been calling me a negative-nilly lately. Can't say as I blame her either. I guess things have never been this bad this long before. I adjusted the cable, and got it to shift. It's not shifting well though. I guess after a service all well be well. I certainly hope so. I guess I was so edgy because Charlie and I had taken a couple of weeks to figure out the EPROM we were loading was corrupt. For a while there I just thought the bike was falling apart. So now I guess I'm a little paranoid, plus all these half-days and days-off are driving me insane. PS - you have great friends! I'm not sure what I did to deserve all the support y'all are offering. I will say it's most appreciated, and y'all aren't taken for granted. I really hate being in the situation I'm in and the offers y'all have given and the support from Charlie has meant more to me than I'm able to say. I will say however, and mean it, y'all are the best. I'm all mushy now, and need to HTFU, but, thanks again! Y'ALL ROCK! Bring your bike to the Buell Barn. My bike has been there so much lately, I think maybe spending more time there than Charlie's Uly! I can make it any time. I'll give Charlie a call this evening and see what he's got going on. Even if all I need is a service, it may be time, I'm not real sure as the speedo quit again, and started again. The engine oil is still really clean (does the oil ever get black?), so I'll just do the primary. Speaking of a Buell Barn Day, y'all realize it's September, and we're due for the September B-day Party? I think we have more people having b-days in September than any other month.   New12r Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 05:07 pm:        We can eek out a Buell barn day but I need to have a Barn cleaning day first. Glitch, I forgot to tell ya while I was riding your bike it was not shifting right while using the clutch, downshifts were flawless but upshifts just plain sucked. I was just happy it was running. We should surely try an oil change, primary adjustment, clutch and cable adjustment and inspection to start. If it dont work take my Uly, I will ride Dans KLR or Sanchez's Gixxer. Although the gixxer may be impounded by the time I am done LOL   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 05:12 pm:        > the gixxer may be impounded by the time I am done LOL They'd have to catch you first! Just watch out for bears.   Sanchez Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 05:14 pm:        > we're due for the September B-day Party? I vote Saturday the 19th at Charlie's place or Dave's. I should have the clutch cable for the DR and the brake lever for the 50 by then.
