Good grief...and I'm stuck in my office staring at this stupid monitor!  | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
maybe save the pic above as your screensaver and make "vroom vroom" sounds?  | ||

With all the posting your doing over here Jerry does that mean you are going to come ride with us any time soon? | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
would love to come visit, haven't been in the area since the first AZ Bike Week (98?), enjoyed my stay there. prolly not this year, tho, but maybe next... anybody down there know a Bueller by the name of Tom Lenz? (from the Cave Creek area if memory serves.) FB | ||
| Jerry_haughton |
hey, a little help here: Bart drinks beer, right? dark? light? in-between? | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
I think if it's got bubbles in it, he'll be ok! Have a couple on me!  Oh by the way...I just use Captain Planet's Jardine clip to keep me happy! http://home.austin.rr.com/crumpley/buell.html edited by TucsonXB9S on May 06, 2004 | ||

Hey guys, It's about ten, and I'm sitting here sipping a few cold ones with Ferris (Jerry). Great riding today, through the Yosemite Nat'l park. Pics will follow soon. Tommorow, I'll get the 300 mile tour of Ferrisville. (And my butt is really hurting already!) Man, that S1 seat sure does feel like a 2X4, after many, many miles. I think I can hang, wait, no, I know I can hang...  Anyway guys, I'm alive and kicking and riding hard! Cya soon... P.S. Brian, Thanks for setting me up with the beer. He, he ,he, anything with bubbles! | ||

We had to be creative due to a lack of software to shrink the pictures, so we took a picture of the image on the monitor. The first pic is of one of the twisties in the Yosemite Nat'l park.  this pic is also in the park, me trying to look cool.  This shot, is of the Bridesveil waterfalls in the Yosemite park, (yes, there are MORE than just twisties here in Cali!!!  This is me hamming it up at Ferris' Thunderdome. I gots the beer, Buells on the computer monitor, and wishing y'all peace...  Ferris will be taking me out tomorrow and abusing me on the many roads surrounding Ferrisville. Hopefully we will make it through the Sequoia Nat'l forest, I'll show you my tree-hugger imitation! This concludes tonights transmission. Have a Buelltiful day!!! edited by Jerry_Haughton on May 07, 2004 | ||

Okay, Wife is talking about possibly letting me upgrade to an XB, problem is I have to go to Phoenix now. Who should I see up there, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
I would recommend Hacienda HD/Buell just due to the fact I have been having good luck with them of late. I would not recommend Arrowhead due to really bad experience. | ||

It's a drive but I have been very pleased with the service from Mayer HD. The tech that did my 1K service rides a duck monster. | ||
| Southernmarine |
WOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO, Thanks Wycked and M1. Here's the deal, wife caved in, I've been laying in bed recovering from 2nd half of vasectomy and decided to call Chosa's HD/Buell and LO AND BEHOLD I WAS APPROVED FOR 0 DOWN AND FILL IT UP. Remember the cheap thread, yes I'm a cheap •••••••. I gotta make my way up there next week and pick up my bike. First thing is, I need to decide which one I want, the 12 or the 9, the R or the S. | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
Ride them all too figure it out! Seriously, each bike is so different. I envy you...when I bought my 9 the 12 didn't exist! I bet you'll enjoy which ever one you choose. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Yeah well Southern you saw my comment about the V-section....heh | ||
| M1combat |
I say go for a 12R. The thing is... I've heard a lot of people voice their opinion and everyone seems to like whichever one they chose the best. I had never even come face to face with a real Buell until I actually stuck the key in mine and started it after being delivered from Waterloo. Well, OK, I saw one at Mayer HD but didn't sit on it or touch it. It's a 12R and I couldn't be happier. I got it leaned over far enough the other day that I only have about 3/16" chicken strips (Sportec M1's) left and I gotta tell ya... I don't think I would have survived on a 12S. I've never ridden one, but it just doesn't seem properly setup for high lean angle riding. If they were better in that respect I would think that all the race born superbikes/motoGP/SS etc would be setup that way. Just my 2c... Wycked could most likely offer better insight though as he has had both (and converted his "S" frontend to the "R" front end). | ||

Looks like I'm going for the 12R. Thanks fellas,now maybe you'll see me with Charileboy once in a while. | ||

The wife said she felt like she was giving me some of my manhood back. Let's see, two vasectomy's in a week, yep, I'll play the sympathy card if it would get me a 12R. Hell, all I was looking for was the Axio bag I mentioned in the apparrel section. But from a $150 bag to a 9 or 12R, sure, I'll take it. She's happy. I did have to agree to trade our Chevy Astro in for a Kia Sedona though, but hey, I still wind up getting the better deal in the end. |
