so last tuesday i finally got around to giving the S1 a wash job and a decent polish(i could have spent all damn day polishing this damn thing! i hate shiny stuff!) it was almost a perfect day for a ride. i had to take advantage of it. nice and calm, and such a nice temp that i could stop for awhile without taking my coat off and barely get warm. i went out with the intention of finally taking some pics of my S1. just wish i would have realized jenns camera was set to have the date on the pics... grrr... so anything without the date was cell phone cam. i honestly dont know where i was half the day. i headed out from home going east and came back to the house from the southwest. i did discover an old drive in theater while cruising through one of the towns about 40 minutes from home. still in operation and plays double features every night for $7.50. hell ya! anyway i stopped by the old tank i have previously taken pics of my 9 in front of. anyway, then i took off and stumbled across a bridge crossing a little tree lined creek and leading off onto the gravel. seemed like a nice place to stop. pulled up and there were a few deer standing down in the water drinking. took off before i could get a pic. not exactly sure how many miles i put on, but i filled up 4 times and every time was at a little over 100 miles on the tank... was a good day for a ride.....

Buell that is.....: ) thanks Joe! and i bet you do, you should probably just box it up and ship it over to me... i'll get it running and ride it around for you i dont wash my bikes to often either. actually ive had this for couple month i think and its the first good cleaning its gotten. and the air cleaner is a bartels carbon fiber unit. |

Guys, one of the previous owners built that bike with 99% unobtanium. As in most of the stuff on it is either custom built or no longer available . Tim, beautiful bike and awesome photography! That last one should be your people pic on Facebook . |

Very nice S1 Tim, I know the feeling just got one of mine back on the road, sorta and had to ride'r til she puked! S1owner I believe that's a Ducati fender ie. SS or Monster. |
