| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | n/a |
| Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | - Stickers (July 2008) - Removed warning stickers and bug shield stickers - Grips (August 2008) - Cut off the factory grips and installed the Buell Traction grips - Bar Ends (March 2009) - Added the HVMP bar ends, which made a tremendous positive difference in mirror visibility (stock mirrors) and minimizing hand/arm vibrations under 3,000 RPM. - Headlight Mod (May 2009) - Modified the headlight harness wires to provide BOTH lights on at high beam. Riding with high beams on now provides me better daylight safety, and at night can actually see the road. Plus, people aren't bugging me about having a light out anymore! :-) - Mirrors (May 2009) - Changed mirrors to the Aprilla mirrors that everyone talks about. - Lights (June 2009) - Changed stock bulbs to Sylvania H7 SilverStar bulbs. Much, much brighter then stock bulbs, and without the price of HID. - Breather Bypass/Reroute (April 2010) - $25 in parts to reroute to rear |
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Anything curvy Olentangy River Road (315) and Riverside Drive (257 / 33) provide some fun. Hocking Hills area (664, 374, etc) US 129 - Tail of the Dragon US 28 - leaving Deals Gap Blue Ridge Parkway - southern half |
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Uniqueness!! American made, powerful torque throughout the band, nice sound, and a unique build and look. |
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | ummmm....get back in business? :-/ |
| Life History/Philosophy: | Amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong. |
