Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | 4K miles, rear wheel bearings burned up going 75 down the hwy, not fun. 5K miles, coil shorted out. 9K miles, noticed front brake chatter, rotor warped or something, new front rotor installed @ 10K Seems I'm fouling a lot of plugs, perhaps the TFI will remedy? |

Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Flint hills of KS, Eureka Springs, Arkansas - Bikes, Blues, and BBQ. And along the mighty MO river to the east of KCMO. Cherokee Mts, SW North Carolina NW of Spartanburg, SC |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | I love the fact that it's an American made sport bike. I really enjoy the distinct sound the v-twin engine makes w/out being labeled a "harley" dude. I love the fact that not very many people in my area own Buell's and my bike gets noticed wherever I go. And the speed and handling is pretty good too |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | First of all, get that damn FLASH requirement off the Buell website, I can't view it at work, and I don't want to download it at home. Make both headlights on the bikes light up on low beam. Don't know how many times people have told me, "you have a headlight out". I just smile and say thank you. Find another route for that coil wire that shorted out on me. Perhaps a larger fuel capacity. |
Life History/Philosophy: | Was raised a "PK", preachers kid, and lived all over MO and western US. Was in the Army for 8 years, 88-96, gulf war vet. Was in Italy for 3 years in the Airborne Infantry and 5 years in Special Forces at Ft. Lewis, WA (1st SFG(A)), on a HALO team. Love to skydive still and love my job. Working outdoors is the only way to go, minus the MO winters and summers it's great . Philosophy? If it aint broke, don't fix it. |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | 140+ on cousins '02 R1, 135+ downhill on my XB9S |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Synthetic |
