AL, hmmm, If I only rode to a gas station in Superior, how did I get those pics in Globe? You've got that Sometimers desease again! Wycked, Glad to see you've got the tire mounted, enjoy. Hope you guys have funn tomorrow, while I sit in class looking out the window... Wishing I could ride... You guys have fun, hopefully I'll be available to ride next weekend, weather permitting. I'm not gonna bitch about the rain though, we need it here in AZ!!!  | ||

Yea, but the roads get really crappy here in Az when it rains!  Yall be careful out there... Eliz says she doesn't want her brother to start on a bike that big cuz he's got no self control. What? She started on a 984! I have to agree with her though... I've seen him drive! Why don't we send him the info and let him decide OK. He's as tall as I am and while I rode fine on the Blast, I'll bet it looked even funnier than me on the XB! So after my rambling, yea, send it to me. Thanks.

Hey Art, thanks again. The front is all good, the back would be good as long as I only made right turns Charlie as soon as I can get pics and details I will send them. | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
He's been approved for six large. For that he could buy an XB on E-bay right now! I personally think he should go that route. | ||

Geez Al, what did I do to tick you off? You deleted your post to me about riding today. Guess I'm solo... | ||
| Belookin |
Brian and Wycked, Had a good time riding with you today. Sending the pics to you now-if you want to post them. Al | ||

| Tucsonxb9s |
How'd that big red eye-talian thing git in those pictures?  Just ribbing ya Al. Your bike sounds great and I love the new OZ's. Hey Wycked, did you notice that we went SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fast today that we shifted the space time continium? Look at the dates in the pics....we went back to 2000! Hey Al and Mikel, fun as always! Maybe when FOOTBALL season gets over some of these other guys will join us. I mean the beat downs both losing teams got were definitely worth giving up riding time. SHEESH! | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
It's great to see you all together. Wish I was there. I guess somebody's got to sit here on this airfield.... P.S. Poor Bart. Stuck in a classroom.... (Message edited by charlieboy6649 on January 10, 2005) | ||

sorry guys i didnt get the post in time to go. i even had an all day pass as well..bad news is my buell has now had the ignition pried apart from sum1 trying to steal it and they stole what was left of my 929. gotta love the weekends  . i now have the money for tires and a pipe but dont know if i should put it into the bike if they are just going to come back and take it. on that note i went to check in trade in value on the xb9r and they called harley to get a quote, the sales guy said they are taking a loss and selling new ones at 5900. what a bunch of crap i was just there and saw nothing under 7000. anyways they offered me 4000 for it. any suggestions ??? if i traded it it would go for a car right now ;( brian | ||

Brian, Insurance companies always lo-ball you with their first offer, tell them what you want and stick to it. You will be able to negotiate a better return. | ||
| Dropnstyle |
thanks but im kinda glad because i would like to keep the bike and just save for a cheepy car. anybody here using an alarm or that has used an alarm?? i think im goin to go ahead and order the exhaust tonite, lol i need something to cheer me up. | ||
| Bartimus |
Dropnstyle, I use alarms on ALL my Buells since I had one stolen when I lived down in Tucson. I use Gorilla alarms on two of them, and a NADY on the other. You can find the Gorilla alarms at: Denniskirk.com or JPcycles.com I'm sure many other places sell them, look around, they are pretty easy to install, and have both motion and shock sensors. I also use a 3/8" chain for added security... | ||

Hey Wycked, did you make it home ok? I noticed when I pulled that U-turn that your shifter was hanging down. I guess that fix didn't hold that well, eh? I hope all is ok. Let me know if you get off for Sunday. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
It held but the lack of tension on the piece we took the bolt from caused it to jump since the trans was jammed in gear again. Got it realigned again, nursed it home aways and put some muscle into shifting it while feathering the clutch. Between me and the trans it unjammed the shifter. | ||
| Bartimus |
Ya, I thought that was going to happen, I had that big bolt there, but you wanted to use that one. I kept my mouth shut, and let you do your repairs. your bike, your decision. glad you made it back ok. You need to start carrying them spare shifter parts with you. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
It wouldn't have been a problem if the trans hadn't been somewhat jammed. The shifting is so light normally that I went with what I knew, and with as easy as we were twisting the lever and such parked I didn't realise it had somewhat jammed up. If I had, I WOULD have taken your suggestion totally. | ||
| Bartimus |
I'm going to head out to Tortilla Flats tomorrow for lunch with a friend. If anyone is interested in going, I'm heading out around 10:30 in the morning. Wycked, Glad you got it sorted out. Whatever it takes to stay in the wind. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
I would join you for the ride tomorrow but there is this thing called work that gives me a paycheck which is desperately needed right now | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
Well, I'm in Maricopa at my buddy's house...I rode up! Looks like it's gonna be the perfect week for me to do it! I'm working in Buckeye tomorrow and Chino Valley on Tuesday. Catch me on my mobile if anyone wants to hook up around quittin' time either day. M1, you gonna be working Tuesday? I should be done around 2 or 3. Maybe week can hookup before I head back to Phoenix. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Hey Brian the new guy at work wants to hear the Jardine think you can figure out when you can swing by? | ||
| Bartimus |
Dang Brian, I'm gonna miss all you guys this week. I'm going out of town in the morning. No telling when I'll get back. At least I got in one last good ride. I went out to Tortilla Flats today. What a Beulltiful day to ride! I know how excited you guys get when I post pics of my S1W, so calm your selves down. I added a new accessory, i think it is the perfect addition to that little rear seat:  I also got her to do the little goofy dance,  When we got to the Flats, after blasting one really primo road in, this is what we saw...  I was chatting with the owner of the yellow Duck, he was telling me he's had more problems with it than his harley! There were tons of sport bikes, and harleys, but alas, no Buells besides mine. We took the "bush" highway back past the lake, and Fountain hills. All in all, a great ride. Sorry nobody could make it. Have a fun week, I'll have my laptop with me and hopefully will be at a hotel with high speed internet. take it easy my friends!!!  | ||

Where's Tortilla flats? Closer to Prescott than 191? | ||
| Bartimus |
no, it's northeast of Apache Junction in the superstition mountains. it winds past the lakes along the salt river from Phoenix to Roosevelt lake. It turns to dirt after the Flats. | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
Where and when are you gonna be working tomorrow Wycked? I'll swing by if time permits after work. I'll be in Buckeye. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
1-7pm I work at the Sam's Club at 83rd and Union Hills. When you came off the 101 and went down Union Hills to 91st to get to my house, just turn left at 83rd instead. Sam's is the opposite end of the lot from Walmart. I will be in the tire department. | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
I should be able to get there between 3 and 4. See ya later. | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
Sam's club has the best price on truck tires! I can get 4 Dunlop mudders installed for $550! That's great. If I wasn't so far away I'd bring my truck to you Wycked. That way I know a crap job wasn't done on my truck! Hey Brian, good news. I got approved and already have equity. My subdivision raised the prices on their housing and mine isn't even built yet, but I bought at the lower price. Might have to call ya about an equity LOC  JK...
