Its been since Saturday and I really don't know what to say other then its time for me. I loved all my Buell's and I still have one in my garage.... my wifes. Thing is,Last Laugh was starting to kill me to ride more then a hour or so. And carrying anything on it was next to impossible. I did get another bike just not a Buell. I made alot of great friends here and also memories that I cherish....a couple not so lol. I hope to keep the friends made. I plan to still peek in here and see whats up and chat to say hello. You guys take care. Homecoming was quite a great memory so has the last 10 years of them. Dana aka BadS1 |

I'll tell ya guys what I have now when I can get a pic up of it..... camera id charging. To be honest.... just not happy and wanted a change. Some of you may give me some crap..... thats ok. I'm a fan of all motorcycle makes in various model's. I can say though I've been on a buell for 11 years of my close to 25 years on a street bike though. Still love the bike's dearly. I hope Erik comes back with something I can afford and draws me in like the S1 did several years ago. Till then I may bounce around a bit. |

For you guys that don't know about "Last Laugh" just Google Last Laugh Buell...that is the BADDEST show Buell anywhere. Hope Last Laugh has a good home...that is an incredible piece of moto art. |

Dana, for all you have done for the Buell Motorcycle Company, NOBODY should ever give you any crap!!! You have supported the brand from the beginning and have been one of it's best promoters. All your years of working with the BRAG groups to basically just taking charge of putting together this past year's Buell Homecoming, will always be appreciated. I understand the need to move on to another motorcycle, but DON'T ever leave the BadWeb community. |

Dana, your M2 helped inspire my own M2/S1 project! Thanks for all the contributions to the Buell community. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new ride. Buell is one bright shiny facet of a great way of life but there are many good bikes out there. Ride safe! (Message edited by littlebuggles on August 03, 2010) |

Dana... You know you'll be back But seriously...I know your pain. If I hadn't bought my Vette this year, the S3T would have been replaced. There is just so many great bikes out there today. It's been a great ride! But this is just a new chapter in the story. |

I sure hope the new owner appreciates Last Laugh and the whole story behind it. You'll need to stick around, on account of it would break all our hearts if you went away and we never got to enjoy the company of soch a wonderful lady as your sweet Andrea. . The light in the room would seem oh so dim absent her smile. Okay, you're alright too. Definitely fun to harras. |

It's OK by me if it's a HD. We're all upset by what HD did to us but it's water under the bridge. You would have loved a Uly though. |

No I didn't buy any HD product and never will. If I want leather and comfort. I'll be in my recliner at home. Well if you guys must know..... I bought a inline 4. Couldn't pass this one up. Keep in my that I'm a fan of many many sportbike's. This one happens to be a 2003 CBR 954 RR. It was owned by a women. She put 700 miles on it before she dropped it one day. Its got two decal scuffs thats it. As of tonight it has 900 miles since I picked it up late Saturday afternoon. Its all stock and like new. Only thing I did is put a Corbin on it which the dealer had..... very comfy. I'm enjoying the bike very much and it allows me to move around a bit more then Last Laugh will and there for I'm confident I could ride a full day. I'll post pic in a bit. I've met lots of people being a Buell owner. My heart will always enjoy the bike and the great people I've met over the many years. I will still be around. I'll even show at events to see old friends. |

The 954RR is a great bike, used to ride one quite often. The biggest thing is that your riding comfortable. I was without a Buell for almost 2 years a while back, but I was still here. I'm like you, I've made a bunch of friends on the Badweb and I just couldn't stay away.... |

Here it is. Funny that big flipp'n canister is a MONSTER but it quiet and I kinda like it for now. Hmmm a tail bag.LOL I haven't been able to do that in years.LOL Still wouldn't take back what I did to Last Laugh. I enjoyed every bit of making that bike what it was. But heres what I'll ride for now for awhile. LOL The Tail of the Dragon sticker covers the sticker suff below. Which I will fix in short order. (Message edited by bads1 on August 04, 2010) |

By the way your first post was, I was expecting more of a sport tourer. Looks like you got a great bike! Have you had an inline 4 before? I recently went to the dark side, and it is a completely different beast! The first thing that I noticed was the super easy shifting, and this thing called "chain maintenance". For me though, my XB with the Select seat is more comfy. When on the gixxer, I have to remember to keep my weight off of my wrists, it starts to make my hands tingly. |
