Officially the "average" HD rider is a 47 year old male who makes $75,000 a year (no kidding) I blow the curve on that one. I'm younger and poorer. I am judgemental towards "trophy riders". If you want to impress me, don't get out of your Toyota and come tell me how cool your bike at home is, take it out of the garage and ride the friggin thing! ChainSaw 01 Sportster 03 Firebolt | ||

Father Dave Gess and I are generally excluded, as dinosauric anomolies from such calculations. Having met Bomber and Road Thing, I am inclined to suggest we pare yet more members from the aging Buell demographic.....as I sit here and look a a picture of Erik, Father Gess and I when we were kids. Well, Dave wasn't a kid, but WE were  Court P.S. - Dave was excluded from being labled a "kid" in those days for reasons unrelated to chronological age. When you drive an old Saab 900 and have a beard, by default, you are handicapped 15 years in the equation. Dave U joined Dage G in those days and continues to till this day...the only thing they have going is brains....dull, dull, dull! | ||

Court, Are you saying that if I grow a beard I will be handicapped by 15 years. I already own a red 14 year old SAAB 900S. Damm, now I gotta sell the Saab to regain my youth. The best thing with a Saab is the Nuclear Reactor they have for a heater and the damm thing is almost as good as a 4wd in the snow (of course there are 4 studded deep lug snow tires on it) Boys, your talking like your the village elders, give it up. | ||

Newfer, SAAB 900's rock! Had to get rid of my '89 900S 'Sport' after 5 speeding tickets in less than two years.... A Turbo would'a bin the end of me.... Most sure footed automobile I've ever wrung out on dry pavement.... With Blizzaks all round it was a flippin snowmobile.... Man, I miss that car.... Slumming in a Saturn LRV for now (licence recovery vehicle).... So THIS is what it's like being a good citizen.... Almost as bad as the bus.... mutter mutter mutter... I HATE winter, Lornce | ||

most of the HD pilots I see wouldn't recognize a shovelhead, much less a Huey Slick . . .doesn't make em bad people (the profits generated from their purchases help fund the development that created my M2, afterall), but, the good news is, they're easy to spot! ================================================== Glad ya put that MOST in there Bomber  40 here but I feel 17 or so, just wish my body would agree with me. Ken, thats about the smartest thing you have said yet. Harleys are like anything else, there are people who buy them purely because they like the bikes, like to ride & like what Harleys have stood for..America. Then there are the poser pukes who buy them, store em in a heated garage with 3 covers on it, never start it up because it might lose its value. | ||

Village Elder? COOOL my previous title did have the word vilage in it, but contained a far different noun . . .. .. I'm coming UP in the world! | ||
| Cjmblast |
Idiot ??!! LOL CJM  | ||
| Bomber |
CJ! I'm surprised at you! what a thing for a southern belle to say! | ||
| Cjmblast |
But if I didn't mean it, does it still count ?! CJM (sorrybomberijustcouldn'tresist) | ||
| Bomber |
course it counts . . .. . . it also doesn't matter that you were absolutely correct, either (chuckle) | ||

You Know You Own A Buell When- You can do a 10,000 mile service in your garage. Chris | ||

You know you own a Buell when.... You spend more time at work planning the 20th Anniversary party than you do on actual job related projects | ||
| Lornce |
I've seen guys like YOU at work! Lornce | ||
| Dueller |
CJMBlast....You obviously haven't learned the key to southern belle communication, to wit: say anything you want about anybody and follow with the phrase "bless his (her) heart"....miraculous....it absolves you from any malicious intent. For example: "That bombahh, goin' ahround lak a village idjit not knowin' his ahhss from a hole in da groun', BLESS HIS HEART". See what I mean. jimmah from mississippi (damn its cold heah today) | ||
| Bomber |
jimmah, that routine will absolutely work for CJ . . . . . for you, in the other hand . . . . . don't give her any more ammo, man . . . she's already got all out numbers bless her heart | ||
| Cjmblast |
Why jimmah, thanks so much fo that wondaful advice !! I think perhaps you are correct !! And if you think it's cold thayare you should be heare, bless your heart !! God, I'm making myself sick with it !! LOL CJM | ||
| Dueller |
ooops Bomber....meant to indicate that's what CJM should say. No self respecting southern male uses "BHH". Know what southernern boys last words are? "Watch this..." jimmah (36 degrees is damn cold in the day time) | ||
| Bomber |
jimmah . . .. no foul, brother . . . . takin potshots is good fun! sides, ya got CJ to really ACT like a southern belle for a second . . . .that's worth at least one sweet tea, innit? (firts time I went to Hatlanta, and the waitress was trying to ask what kind of Iced Tea I wanted, I thought she was callin me sweetie . . . . . too bad, she was pretty cute, too) | ||
| Dueller |
Funny Bomber.....friend from Orlando (ohio snow bird transplant) visited me last weekend and tried sweet tea and boiled peanuts....she hated both....loved our "bobbycue" tho...there ya go | ||
| Bomber |
bobbycue? that's great! . . . .. stay warm, sir . . .. . bomber out | ||
| Cjmblast |
>>>Know what southernern boys last words are? "Watch this..." <<< Oh my gosh Dueller, I know those guys !!! LOL Bomber, it was JUST for a second then back to normal self !! CJM | ||
| Dueller |
correction CJM....You know those guys, bless their hearts | ||
| Rick_A |
You call in to work saying, "my exhaust just broke, if I can get it fixed I'll be on time!" A guy tells you that you have "A NICE HARLEY!" at a stoplight, and another guy tells you that you bought "the wrong" brand. | ||
| Ezblast |
You know you own a Buell when the bike you have looks nothing like the bike you started with and you still bless Erik Buell every nite at prayers - lol - Just Blasting on the Dark side! EZ | ||
| Crusty |
Has anyone left their Buell 100% stock? Anyone? Isn't that great? These bikes demand that you get involved and personalize them. | ||
| Newfie_Buell |
Your in the unheated garage freezing your B*((s off just to get the primary cover and various other parts polished in time for riding season thats two months away. | ||
| Rick_A |
These bikes demand that you get involved and personalize them. I think that's true to an extent...some aftermarket stuff isn't as durable as stock...I've been chasing down solutions to some vibration related problems. I think I've finally got her bulletproof now. | ||
| Mikej |
I don't know that these bikes demand that you get involved, more that they are very receptive and accomodating of owner involvement.  | ||
| Crusty |
Do you know ANYONE who has left his (or her) Buell 100% stock? The bikes demand it by bringing out such strong emotions. You can't help personalizing them. | ||
| Aesquire |
Mines still stock!. The Buell custom saddle, header & k&n are on order, or still in the box, as my M2 is behind a 4 foot ice damn locked in my buds garage. 250 miles on this, the rarest of all Buell models. (Stock) not for sale, I'm waiting for spring (come on spring) to begin customization. |
