You do realize the Quick Board isn't the only area of the forum correct?

Ditto Darth.

The haters like to focus on one thing. The thing they hate. BUT they always come in here looking, because they NEED hate in their lives.

Tell me how wrong I am, go ahead.

There are TWENTY THREE (23) other message bases here, some more active than others. Plenty of non political, non religious reading materials.

Knock yourselves out, but remember when you come in here, YOU turned the knob and opened the door. YOU put one foot in front of the other and WALKED (figuratively) in here on your own. Looking for what you've found.

And nothing is stopping anyone from posting cool, non-Buell related motorcycle stuff right here on the quick board, either, if it doesn't fit in on another board.

I remember when I really cared.

Where in OK can you really, really enjoy a Buell? Are there any winding roads at all?

Since most of us here are older fartz... masculine manly men among manly men....

Here's some rules of life:

Never miss the chance to pee.

Never waste a hard-on.

Never trust a fart.

and...

The most underrated and overrated things in life are teenage sex and a good dump.

Carry on all.

Damn I must be getting old, I agree with that, except in the opposite order.

OMG, folks- I'm gonna have to plan for probably summer or spring to really have any silly money... I'm seriously thinking about liquidating my GL1000 though, and having NO motorcycle in my possession would be motive enough...

Pwn, Nuke, love and thanks... for now, just keep tabs on who's got what. If my GF gets a piece of property sold, things could move quicker. For now, I'm climbing a ladder up, but I'm on the first rung so to speak.

I WILL have another Buell someday- THAT'S the one I want. Needs come first.

Dana, your so right about that statement. This use to be the best motorcycle forum on the internet before it got taken over by a few idiots.

I purchased my 2006 Ulysses after reading so much about it here on Badwed. I even remember Ferris's epic ride back to California on Madduck's 2006 Uly. Those were the fun days. Now it's all about political crap filled with hate. So sad compared to what this place use to be.

We could always discuss counter steering!

I had a fellow here that was convinced it was all about toe pressure. I think he had a point about the proper technique for transitioning from straight up to hanging off, but never could get to the point as he insisted that the whole "turn away from desired lean... to fall over ...then correct" ( a crude way to put it ) was dead wrong.

Got quite angry about it. I never did understand his intended point before he got mad and quit the discussion.

I never even thought about steering. So how do I end up still being able to go around corners?

The best demonstration I have seen about counter-steering was this. a guy tied 2 strings to the handle bars and turned right by pulling on the left bar. This is because the tire then rides on the smaller diameter if the curved tire cross-section. This causes the bike to then "pull" to that side. That is why most trikes steer like crap, also you could not ride a bike with a flat cross-section on the front. This is also why it is important to have matching profiles front and rear, so the bike steers the same at both ends. Most cars pull due to cone shaped tire from uneven wear, rather then alignment issues. The only thing on a car that will cause a pull otherwise is a caster problem. This is not adjustable on most cars nowadays.

If you don't think countersteering is real, try this on your next ride... Take your left hand and use it on the throttle. You MUST consciously countersteer or you WILL lose control.

They are coming for your guns now.... next it will be your motorcycles - you know for safety sake

(don't laugh - they already tried it with mini bikes for kids - the lead content was just too much of a danger on the mini motos when INGESTED).....

And now the monthly whine about wanting a dirty Sumo in the 450 range from Buell -

Please, please, please - aw com'on !
