Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
The 2 reasons I ride a blast are first unfortunately.. I can't afford the Sporster that I really would like.. and second.. and actually more importantly.. I wanted an American made bike and I have a bit of a bad back.. so instead of going for a lightning I chose the Blast cause the more upright riding position it allows you
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Well in the Blast case.. its their entry level bike.. So for the money I don't think you can really do much more for it.. I wish the buells weren't treated like a step child by the Harley Dealers( the one I go to has almost no Buell clothes and accessories in stock.. And just because the Blast is a cheap entry level bike.. does that mean they can't make better quality saddle bags for it.. All they have is these cheapy looking( but not in price for what they look like 139.00)cloth bags.. Why can't they make bags like the ones they made for the Ulysses
|
Life History/Philosophy: |
AS long as I can remember I has always thought about riding a motorcycle... Unfortunately it seemed every time I did.. I would read or hear about someone getting hurt or killed inna motorcycle accident... So finally 3 years ago ( at 39) I decided to force myself to do it and went out and bought a small 79 Honda 400CMT off of Ebay for 860.00 Then I got my license and then bought my blast this past November
|
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): |
85 ( thats pretty good for the Blast...lol)
|
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): |
I assume Harley used their brand of Synthetic Oil
