it does sound nice when you say that March Badness is only a month away... For those that might be curious, I emailed TWO about UPSing some gear to their address for that weekend and they said go for it. So if anyone else was coming from the land of far far away, it sounds like the cats meow. | ||

Andy, I've shipped stuff there and back a few times. No problems, just send it to you, care of them. I usually write March Badness on the outside as well so they know. | ||

52 wake -ups and an oil change for me... | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Darn you XB's and your "All I gotta do is an oil change and my bikes good to go another 9323458 miles" | ||

Yeah Mike that's the cool thing about my XB, other than using Mobil1 to kill a couple of stators, mine has been bullet proof. Well, except for a couple of get offs breaking foot pegs, levers and the like. At least you get the coolness factor of riding an M2. When I first started looking at Buell seriously (before the XB9S) I was going to buy an M2,then I saw an S1, it was a toss up...until the XBS came out, I was smitten. The M2s are great bikes, and real lookers too. I know there every bit as capable as an XB as DJ was able to keep on the rear tire of Smokescreen up Blood Mountain. Does yours have rear sets? Or the stock pegs? | ||

mike, fill fortunate to have the greatest buell ever made. although right now if i could afford it i would go for the xt, now that they come user friendly for the vertically challenged. | ||

Does any one have a good check list made of things we should have like spare parts or camping gear any thing we would want to have that is hard to get on short notice. | ||
| Guell |
I dont know if theres a spare checklist for parts, im just going over my bike really well before i head off. Already have a list of things i need to do to it. | ||
| Damnut |
Paul you don't have to worry about spare parts being present. I'm sure there will be plenty of XB stuff around. | ||
| Thumper74 |
I'm bringing spare levers just in case. Primary tension is set, brake fluid is flushed, new Stradas have been purchased (I couldn't find any reason to not to buy them...), new CRG levers w/Uly handguards, the bike will possibly have a new paint job by them as well. | ||
| Mikef5000 |
You XBers should think about spare shifter linkage, since it seems every large Buell event I've been too someone's has broken. Glitch, my M2 has Banke Rearsets. I've been meaning to make a gear list. With all the camping stuff, tools, and clothes I want to bring. I'll see if I can't come up with it tonight and I'll post it up. | ||
| Mikef5000 |
Here's my quick list, I'll be remembering and adding things to it all the way up to the morning I leave: Tools: Tire plug kit Tire pump (And pump fittings for air mattress) Standard socket set Axle sockets Breaker bar Allen wrench sets Torx wrench set Screw Drivers Vice Grips Duct Tape Zip Ties JB Weld RTV Silicone Adhesive Camping Gear: Tent Tarp (Tent Footer) Air Mattress Sleeping bag Inflatable pillow Flashlight Misc. Gear: RAN Maps Cell phone with charger Full rain gear 1 Qt. Oil Extra Bungee cords / straps Small first aid kit Spare pair of old glasses | ||

Yup... what Never said... The M2 is the 2nd best Buell ever made.... Everyone knows the S1W is THE BEST!!!! LOL | ||
| Nevrenuf |
you guys got a looker paint but at least i can do over 100 mile day with it burning my but.lol. besides, it kinda looks like the predecessor to the m2 to me, so we both win. | ||
