Valid entry!
Tucsonxb9s...
Excellent point!
POINT OF ORDER...
On a somewhat related thread, Light_keeper pointed out that this is a bike related board, and was at a loss as to how any bike topic spun these threads to total non-bike postings (I am paraphrasing). He has a point!!!
EXCELLENT POINT!!!
amended rule...
if your "all" is not a bike fact, add a line before it to start your post with something like...
"I like my Buell"
"All people with the first name of Dennis are admired by all!" |

Das,
Meant as tounge in cheek, I have family in the service of the public. I can see that you are a heady helmsman.
The beauty of the quick board is that it can wander the outer limits.
Blake,
Have I thanked you recently for the board? If not, I thanks you. |

All Badweb threads at some point take an odd turn.
What would make this thread any different

Acceptable posting. Excellent point!!

Acceptable posting. Extremely true! You sir, are a true observer of life!
Tripper...
CONTEMPT OF THREAD. CONTEMPT OF THREAD!!!
Bailiff... whack his pee pee!!
Sir, you are found in contempt of thread and you are fined three, no six bottles of Vanilla Vodka (the cheap stuff works).
That is a totally untrue statement.
This thread is in recess for 20 minutes! (gawd, I need a drink!!!)
Oh yeah... no drinking and Buell riding! (I had to put something Buell related, I must follow the local rules also! Otherwise this would be a travesty, much like a kangaroo court. You think them kangaroos ever wear a black robe and bang a gavel? I never seen one, but once after an evening of free lance quality control work for a local liquor store, I saw me a pink elephant once! It ran through my back yard, right behind my trailer! It nearly knock over my chevy I have on blocks in the front yard when it made a second pass!!!) |

The experience of riding a Buell is unlike that of any other motorcycle.
The best way to defeat your enemy......
Is to turn him into your friend.
Ride Safe (but never boring!)

Technically an invalid format, not an "all".
However, as a "outside the box thinking" type of solution, creativity allows for an exception. Therefore a valid posting.
I would be "all" wrong to not allow it as a valid posting. The obvious solution (fight better, overwhelm the enemy with force) is not always the overall best solution. We should always look for the best solution, and not the most common or most convenient solution.
I must confess, part of my motivation for this thread was to provide the opportunity for us to think beyond our day to day subject matter, and slow to look inside one's self to recognize what we know, but may fail to see in our routine, as we move at life's pace through our day.
Our best tool, and our best weapon, is the tool/weapon between our ears!
We all sometimes fail to access that tool/weapon as we formulate our first solution.
Let's use that tool to safely enjoy our Buells. Think safe, ride safe! |

Tripper..
First, I cannot condone such a solution to your problem, thought it may be the most tempting!
This makes me think back about a hundred years when I was a police officer. Long before the domestic violence laws. We were dispatched to a family disturbance. Upon our arrival we were advised by the wife that her husband slapped her. As we were collecting the facts about the incident, we observed a person who relentlessly and viscously verbally attacked the poor man, continually "in his face". Everything he had said and done over the past ten years was thrown in his face.
We did two (actually three) things on this call.
First, we followed the typical solution in these pre-domestic violence law days and convinced one of them (the husband) to leave so they both could cool off. Back then, an arrest was usually the last solution used.
Second, we both observed that after we too were the target of her verbal attacks. And... that if we had been trapped in the house, as the husband was, as she had him cornered and was "in his face" that we understood why he made the incorrect choice to resort to assaulting her, be it a "simple assault" by law.
There was also a third observation. We both agreed that if we had been there another five minutes we would have slapped the s**t out of her too! As she had got "in our faces" too a number of times. We were ready to drag the husband out, as we had difficulty in convincing him to leave!
Yes, I realize I did not answer your question. AND you by now being a fellow KC Mob member, know the answer to that question! What you are seeing now is but one of my multiple personalities. You and the other Mobbers more often see the more dominate ones. I do have a few lucid moments. Usually when they happen, I lay down until it passes! This time I have been "possessed" and am inflicting it upon the BadWeb!

Mr_grumpy...
First a side note. If I went by what the kids at work say, and had it not already been taken by you, I might have posted as Mr grumpy. Old Fart did not sound right so I went with DASXB9S!!!
OK...
first posting... outstanding and acceptable for this tread. Another side note... I just love the sound my XB makes as I roll in to a stop with the throaty blub blub blub!!!
Second posting... A valid posting and it wins the "I can't see the forest for the trees!" award. What an obvious, yet until now not posted observation!!!
Fullpower... Excellent point. The award for the best proxy posting.

Put your vodka where my mouth is!!! I'll be home all evening in the bike shop! |

Being an example of that, and Buells having a history of s**t falling off as you ride... I find no way to dispute this post! And by no means am I making a negative comment in any way shape or form of Buells or Buellers. Great people... great bikes!!! |

Wasn't meant to be negative either! I've already lost 2 screws in my belt guard and one that holds my airbox cover on...and it's the one UNDER the front of my SEAT! As for the comment about Buellers, well, if we were all 100% "sane", we wouldn't do what we do or ride what we ride. Like you said Das, great people...great bikes!

I did not intend to imply you were negative... if it came across that way... my mistake in wording. I too have had two belt guard screws decide to walk rather than ride! My XB also has a nut loose behind the air box!!! |

I think i may have to go out there now and check those "loose screw" areas, now my wife may consider that a indicator of a loose screw in the other area. But since there is not much that can be done by me there, I'll just have to 'let it ride'.
Self-checking of those loose screws in the self is always the first demonstration that they may be actually there, "or am i just crazy?"

Oh, heh, heh, I ,JUST NOW, got it about the "loose screw behind the airbox." Better late than never. At least before I started pulling the air box cover and started fishing around. |

I will never be the poster child for normal!!! This is much more obvious in person. There have been comments of "But he seemed normal until I met him!". If there is any doubt there are several KC Mob members that can verify the first line is true. Or... you can do a search and read some of my long and short posts in various locations on this board... but mostly the KC Mob thread last year. I have lucid moments that give a false impression.
I almost never asked a loaded questions like "or am I just crazy/stupid?" Those are answered in the affirmative at speeds somewhat approaching light speed!!!
Check the lower belt guard and when the screws go for a walk, set the replacements with loctite. A major portion of the fasteners on the XBs are loctited from the factory. That is why fewer things fall off the XB series than the tubers. |

Das, I didn't take offense to you. I was just makin' sure anyone else that read it didn't take it as a negative too. Seems like everyone has been so sensative here lately! Anyhow...
All Buellers have had gas pump conversations starting with, "What the hell is that?" |

How can I contest a posting like that???
As a reward, help yourself to one of my beers in your refrigerator! If it wasn't so late I'd ask you to bring me half a dozen!!!
Tucson...
Yes... Indeed!!! I think I have been in the middle of most of them too! So I find myself cautiously wording things, then cringing after I post... waiting for a secondary explosion! LOL
A valid posting, or "Buell, but who makes it??" or "Sounds like a Harley" precedes what you posted. |

The bolts for the rear hugger on my X1 decided to take a walk on the first ride I made with it.
Picked it up from the dealer & promptly out about 150 miles on it when I heard this strange noise. Looked down & back & saw the hugger hanging on by 1 bolt & just flopping around & bouncing off the tire.
Never could keep those damn things from loosening up no matter what. |

All good (and bad) thing must come to an end.
The "all" thread is all posted out.
I have enjoyed the postings.
All threads fade in to archive!
It's time for this one to do just that!
Dyna...
It is amazing what vibration can to. A very destructive force. If you want to see a tough item, find one that meets military spec for vibration. THEN put it on a motorcycle and see if it holds up. If it survives that, you have accomplished something. That is why safety wire was developed! I just acquired a "retired" race bike, a 1987 Yamaha FZ600. I bet it has 10 feet of safety wire on it if it has an inch! |
