Author Message   Slowride Posted on Saturday, October 24, 2009 - 09:40 pm:        Congrats JonnyBlaster, SO, did they have any left. I dropped by Allen HD today to pick up some oil filters for the CR and they had 1 lonely 06 XB9 for $3995 sitting in the back. We all need to get together for another TNT ride sometime...   Cowtown Posted on Monday, October 26, 2009 - 02:33 pm:        Congrats everyone on your new purchases. I passed a southbound Black 1125CR on Tin Top Rd just north of Thorp Spring on Saturday about 2:30. Was anyone posting here breaking in their new bike?   Rabert Posted on Monday, October 26, 2009 - 08:56 pm:        WOW just stumbled across this link. I feel like the Last Mohican that just found a lost tribe......   Slowride Posted on Monday, October 26, 2009 - 10:08 pm:        Nice.... Colors on the Buell... Welcome to our little corner of the Badweb. Slowride Micah   Jaredkuper Posted on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 - 09:40 pm:        Finally picked up my black 1125R, with fairing, from a dealer in Houston. Anybody up for riding sometime? Now I've had the Blast, Lightning, Firebolt, and 1125R. Quite a collection.   07xb12ss Posted on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - 12:08 pm:        Me (1125R), Robert from XBLIGHTS (riding my 1125CR), and my bro-in-law hopefully (1125CR), and possibly a few others (coincidentally 1125s) are heading out east on Sunday - anyone is welcome, we don't have a set departure time yet but Robert is leading us out to 429 (Terrell) and who knows from there.....   Rah7777777 Posted on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - 03:17 pm:        We took a ride a year or so ago ( J. Duggar leading ) and we started that way. Only part I remember is 429, so once it dead ends we are heading left and seeing where it goes. If anyone wants to lead and knows a good route feel free. I'm a bit rusty so probably not the best leader. I'm hoping to be on my XB, but I can't get her to stop F'ing up on me..... We will see, good thing my buddy Kevyn has an extra 1125 :-) I think last time with the MC Hooligans we rode out that way and around a town called Edom. Ride safe and see yall Sunday I hope -Robert www.xblights.com PS.. Slowride if you go, leave the hard bags at home. Don't want you taking anyone out while your flying through the air HAHA!   Slowride Posted on Thursday, October 29, 2009 - 12:11 pm:        LOL, just for the record Robert... I swore I wouldn't ever go on Dugger ride again. I almost took him out. He is a very accomplished rider, but was leading a bunch of noobs on a very, very spirited ride. If my memory is correct, we lost two bikes on that ride. In my situation, he just stopped in the middle of the road just after a bridge that had a nasty bump before and after it. My bike got airborne and I came down just inches from his 1125R. Who stops in the middle of the effin road? Anyway, I am game to do a ride with you guys. I will be on the CR, as I decided to leave the goldwing at home. I didn't want to give anyone a complex while I was dropping a knee and passing them on the inside on the wing.   Rah7777777 Posted on Friday, October 30, 2009 - 12:19 am:        Haha, I know! Just giving you a hard time :-) duggar is a track guy and think he mainly rides track now. I thought you almost slapped Pete with the bags?? But no doubt, a bunch of rookies going too fast. But I can't say much I was right in the middle too! I'm not even sure if I'll make this ride. My XB's down for repairs, Kevyns gonna let me ride his CR but it's getting that 12K service done and I don't think it will be done til next week. We will see I guess. And by all means!! If you wanna do laps around us on the "wing" do it! You won't hurt my feelings! I know I can't ride worth a shit, HAHA! Plus it's neat to see those big bikes dragging the turns. Me and Kevyn work and know a good amount of biker cops ( moto-jocks ) and there riding skills are just flat out insane!!! It's crazy what they can get those harleys to do!   1sympleman Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 02:48 am:        Bought a CR on OCT 2nd. Thought I got a smokin deal on it. Two weeks later I found out why. Oh well. I love the bike and I have an instant classic. Nice to know I have some fellow Buellers in the area.   Slowride Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 10:19 am:        1sympleman, Now see you can't just drop in here and say something like that without telling us the whole story. I am an owner of a CR, tell us what you mean. Slowride Micah   Kevinfromwebb Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 12:21 pm:        Micah, you on a CR... Well just stop at the stop signs and wait for the rest of us... I can remember you keeping up with us just fine, while your older Buell was dripping oil on the rear tire, jeez... I've got to put another set of tires on the FireBolt, get it inspected and I'll be ready for a group ride... I've got the tires just haven't taken the time to take the wheels off and get them installed... With the time change I'll be able to find the time easier... Can't go outside and play... Kevin Glad to hear more chatter on the local board...   1sympleman Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 07:29 pm:        Micah, By my saying "instant classic" i was refering to the fact that since the CR was only produced for one model year, us CR owners are a somewhat rare breed. Kinda kool I think.   Slowride Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 07:45 pm:        Kevin, I would have to say my riding skillz have, um, well substantially improved since we last rode together. In October at the Buelltoberfest in GA, I had the pleasure of backing my Goldwing into a decreasing radius turn and it then pull it out at full throttle.... The Buellers following me asked me how I did it... I just smiled and said I used to ride a tuber. With the oil leaking all over the rear wheel all the time... Haha, I was used to doing that. I do agree Mark, the CR's are an instant classic. All, I just got in from putting a couple hundred miles on my KLR. Most of the roads, say 90% or more were dirt or gravel. Man I love riding a motorcycle. I think I will go back out in the morning too. I haven't heard anything from Robert or the rider for a group thing, so I guess I will go North from 380 (Little Elm) and see what else I can find.   1sympleman Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 08:24 pm:        Micah, I have a KLR also. Can you recommend any good rides?I've used this bike mainly as my commuter but I would like to get it dirty.   07xb12ss Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 09:24 pm:        Hey Micah I texted you 2 times - meeting at 10am at walmart on spring creek and 75 - leave by 10:30 to head to Roberts in rowlette - call me if you have any questions - anyone is welcome come on buellers   Slowride Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 10:11 pm:        Yep, got it... Mark, All the good roads, at least in my opinion are along the Red River, OK and AR. Almost all of the roads I did today were North of 380 and were gravel or dirt. I was meaning to get up along the River today, but i got sidetracked shooting some photos of the girls getting body painted at Allen, HD. Anyway, looks like I will be riding out with the Buellers east tomorrow. If anyone wants to come along, PM me or 07xb12ss and we will give you the meet up directions. Micah   07xb12ss Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 10:46 pm:        Micah.... Body painting photo shoot and no notification? Also shoot me a text when you ride - I'm free every sat and sun   1sympleman Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 10:55 pm:        Micah, I can Understand how girls and bodypaint can distract a man. I'll try and get my arse out of bed in time to meet you guys at the walmart at 75 and Spring Creek. Please keep an eye out for the old man on a CR in a red jacket.   Slowride Posted on Saturday, October 31, 2009 - 11:50 pm:        Cool, we will be looking for ya   P_squared Posted on Monday, November 02, 2009 - 10:32 am:        IMS 13th-15th. http://www.motorcycleshows.com/Dallas If my friend isn't in town yet, plan on heading down Saturday to get my fill of eyecandy.   Jonnyblaster Posted on Monday, November 02, 2009 - 10:52 am:        Random: I had an awesome experience with Longhorn HD/Buell down in Grand Prairie on Saturday. That CR I picked up @ Dallas HDB had a dead battery. I tried jump-starting it so I could take it in for service. Don't do that. The computer locked me out cuz it thought I was trying to steal it. Anyhow, I called Longhorn and they sent out a truck (25ish miles) to pick the bike up. For free! A couple hours later, they called me back. Said my bike was done (just needed a battery, surprise) and all loaded up, if they'd like me to deliver. For free! So basically, I sat @ home all day doing whatever, and they did all the work! I think they're my new go-to shop.   Kevinfromwebb Posted on Sunday, November 15, 2009 - 09:59 pm:        Anybody go to the IMS show this weekend??? We went saturday morning... Bought a pair or real light summer riding gloves... Tried them out on the ride home... Rode the ST as I needed the storage room, had to make a couple of stops on the way home... I thought it was a pretty good show... I didn't even goto the HD booth, although I very rarely do... Obiviously, missed there being a Buell booth!!! But there wasn't any Triumph, BMW, KTM, Guzzi, or Aprilia booths either... Seems like a marketing mistake to cut back on show booths, lots of potential customers walking by... We walked the parking lots looking at the bikes: saw a Lightning, FireBolt, an CR, and a few Ulys... Kevin   Rah7777777 Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 12:51 am:        didnt go this year. Its honestly boring if you go every year. And with Buell gone....I doubt I go again in the next 5 years. Walking the parking lot is always the best part! -Robert www.xblights.com   Slowride Posted on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 - 06:00 pm:        Nope, I didn't make it this year... I took a group of guys from work down to Kerrville, TX and we rode the 3 sisters (335,336&337). I managed to get my goldwing pushed over enough to catch some attention from a local photog. I will post them up when I get the pics back.   07xb12ss Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 - 10:19 pm:        Micah do you have a map or route of the 3 sisters?   Hmartin Posted on Friday, November 20, 2009 - 05:18 pm:        Ya'll stayed overnight in Kerrville, right, or did ya'll make it there & back in a (very long) day? http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=L eakey,+Texas&daddr=E+4th+St%2FE+FM-337%2FRanch+Rd+ 337+to:Ranch+Rd+335+to:Ranch+Rd+335+to:TX-41+to:Ra nch+Rd+336+to:29.724433,-99.762897&hl=en&geocode=F dyOxQEdQLwN-g%3BFfS4xAEdjvAJ-g%3BFQGLyAEd8QkK-g%3B FbzwygEds2gJ-g%3BFex0ygEdHoEM-g%3BFbiRyAEdCDwN-g%3 B&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=6&sz=13&via=1,2,3,4,5&sll=29 .72667,-99.759293&sspn=0.065591,0.140762&ie=UTF8&l l=29.881137,-99.854736&spn=0.523919,1.126099&z=10   Slowride Posted on Saturday, November 21, 2009 - 10:53 am:        Sorry for the delay guys.... Yep, we stayed overnight. We rode down there on Friday after work, split 2 rooms by 4 people at the Best Western Sunday House and then ran all day Saturday and Sunday. It took 4.5 hours to get home on Sunday. I have all the routes I took that weekend available on .GPX files (Garmin & other) GPS's use these files. Here is the Picture of that file... The roads were great and the guys were slow, but the scenery was beautiful...   Lulu7404 Posted on Monday, November 23, 2009 - 10:34 am:        Hey Buellers! Wanted to introduce myself. Bought my 08 Uly this spring and have only put about 5k miles on it. I love this bike! I grew up on dirt and have a hell of a time not sticking my leg out in tight turns! I would love to ride with you guys sometime. I am not a knee dragger (yet) but I ride faster than my friend and his Vstrom (ever since he hit a deer on our way to Mena, he follows about 200 yards back. Its like riding by myself) Anyway, I start medical school in May and am currently under employed, so free time during the week is plenty for rides with less weekend traffic for now. My friend and I are planning a trip down to the twisted sisters and camping for about 4 days after xmas when he gets out of school for winter break. Not sure of the weather down there at the time but who cares. So that's me, look forward to meeting and riding! Brad in Farmers Branch   Slowride Posted on Monday, November 23, 2009 - 12:45 pm:        Brad, Nice to meet chya. You will enjoy the Hill Country for sure. By the way, knee draggin is a state of mind really. You can do it on any bike, including a Goldwing. Here is a few teasers for ya from my most recent trip. I was in Ultra Warp Cruise mode here. The next trip down will be on the 1125 CR.
