| Personal Quote: | ATGATT (adopted 2/29/2008) = All The Gear All The Time. |
| Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | XB12R |
| Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | 2004 |
| Color: | Red |
| V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
| Servicing Dealership: | Indy. |
| Performance Mods!: | Standard Drummer (new tip). K&N air filter. 2007 inner airbox. ••••• Drummer map. |
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | I got t-boned by a driver pulling a U turn. She broke my collarbone (took a plate to hold it together) and 8 ribs and ruptured my spleen. I was actively scanning as always, but from the police drawing, she came up behind my line of sight. |
| Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Frame pucks 93001-03YA. NGK 5545 plugs (.036"). Diablo Stradas (36F/38R). Ride-On sealant/balancer. Sylvania Silverstar H3s. Napoleon bar end mirrors. Buell Traction grips. Corbin seat, Buell custom pillion. Heli top triple clamp. Muller clutch ramp DS11300004. Radiantz 1157 base 1.85" LED cluster. Radiantz LED strobe module. Sidestand upgrade kit. Front PCV valve hose also on rear. Standard Drummer. Snipped snorkel. Later (ventilated) inner airbox cover. |
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | |
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | The R (with a couple of minor tweaks) just plain fits me. Plus all the pieces work together so well it seems like magic. I never have to guess what it'll do next. It never gets between me and the ride at hand. |
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | They are doing it already. If I had the money, I would already have a stock XT with a ••••• map. |
| Life History/Philosophy: | |
| Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | I'm not much for speed. Motor-wise, just give me a smooth, torquey, predictable, responsive motor, something for safer daily real-world riding. |
| Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Amsoil MCV (engine/primary); KN177 filter. |
