Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Everything in between and including the Western and Eastern slopes of Colorado. Riverton Road (20)from Winsted, CT to Windsor Locks, CT. Loop made by 4, 7 and 41 in NW CT. |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | I like rusty, slug-shaped mufflers. I can't stand seeing a bike with some beautifully finished, alloy or carbon fiber work of art on their bike. I would have preferred a Lucas electrical system, but Buell did their best to emulate. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | Would have liked to have proven some of my Buell-bashing friends wrong, but the bike has proven to be as unrefined, slow and unreliable as the sterotypes made it out to be. The motor is OK but completely unworthy of the chassis it sits in, and the tranny must be among the worst in production. Need a Rotax retro-fit kit! |
Life History/Philosophy: | |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | 134 indicated |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Mobil V-Twin 20/50 |
