Servicing Dealership: |
|
Performance Mods!: |
An ECM that doesn't crack
|
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
None
|
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
LED flasher strips under the H-B topcase bezel. Vista Cruise, a smattering of upgrades from the catalog at American Sport Bike and some ECM changes to improve performance slightly. Aside from that, anything to increase reliability and simplify serviceabliity. This bike is plenty fast for what I want to do and with an a '76 Triumph in the garage next to it, I want something that I can ride without a biweekly re-build.

Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
South Carolina SR-276 (Caesars Head Hwy) and about a dozen other roads within an hour of there.
|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I like the cost of ownership, the community of owners and the personality of the bike. The intrinsic value of the bike truly exceeds the sum of its parts.
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |

Be slow to anger. You do a lot less 'pologizing that way.
|

The Ams-erl kind
