Sorry we missed you Tunes. I got your message and called you from BCM but your phone isn't set up for messages? Have fun with your friends Dan - the NEBO boys weren't at all squidly (maybe because Eric wasn't with them - lol) so I showed them the nearby twisties I took you on |

No, phone not set-up for messages. :-( I tried to "meet up" with you by stopping at the DD on Rte 107; where it comes into town. It was a crapshoot for me... I stayed until 10:00 or so... I tried but couldn't remember/find BCM. Oh well... I've ridden Rte 107 quite a few times. Great road. How does meeting at Lowell Motorcycle Night this coming Tuesday evening? I think the weather will finally cooporate. |

Scott, I'll wait until you can make it to go to Lowell. We do all need to get down there though! Need to show some Buellness support among the sea of same-ol', same-ol'. Always seems like it is so hard to get an event together. Takes us weeks to plan a 2-hour outing most of the time. Guess we're just busy people. |

Dan, Scott, & Everyone, Lets's give Lowell Bike Night a shot for June 26th.... Next Tuesday? I've been workin' on the house, yard, car, trailer, all 3 Buells, and putting my '75 Norton Commando top-end back on and buttoned up. Then I have some chores to do... But I've been gettin' 'em done. Buells have been running wonderful. All the PM has paid off. Still waiting on parts for the XB9... no rush. Hope everyone had a good time during Bike Week! |

Sorry guys, it doesn't look like I will make it Tuesday. Riding with the NEBO boyz trashed what little was left of my front tire. Now it has very scary looking cracks starting on the sidewall and extending into the tread area. The kids, my Jeep and my boat have conspired to keep me poor this spring or I wouldn't have let it get this bad! I did order new tires (Metzeler Sportec M3's). I was looking at Conti Road Attacks, but my brother gave me the front tire as it was a little to tall for his race bike, so I ordered the back one to go with it... Can't wait to get them on! The profile of my front tire is so F'd up and being the stock Dunlops - I'm really expecting it to feel like a new machine |

So I got the M3's mounted It's amazing how a bike will roll into a corner when you have tires that actually have a round profile instead of a pyramid! I am riding Sunday with a friend you just got back from Afghanistan. He is a metric cruiser rider, so it won't be anything fast. Not sure where we are going but let me know if you are interested. I'll be riding tomorrow, but I need to replace my brake light switch and get an inspection. I might go to Seacoast HD for the part and have my local guy do it, or I might go to MHD for the part and then go over to MOM's for the inspection..... Oh and I might go to NED tonight for some passes.... (Message edited by scott_in_nh on June 29, 2007) |

I know it's late/last minute... The weather has finally cooperated and I'll be going to Lowell Bike Night tomorrow. If I see anyone there, cool. If not, maybe next time. |

I've been trying to get people to go for a while now with neg. results. I'll be at a 4th of July celebration, so can't go tomorrow. I still want to go some time with some Badwebbers though. |

It was a small crowd probably due to July 4th celebrations... I had the only Buell there. Maybe next time. |

Not me anymore. Got an offer on my 12s that I couldn't pass up. I'll be bikeless for a while until the 1125r shows up or the new Monsters next year. I'll still be lurking though. |

Congrats on the pending sale Dan! Can I be the 1st to congratulate you....I mean - you're gonna let me try that 1125r right? Guess I am going to have to harass the NEBO boyz into a NED day or a NH ride.... |

I had a great ride up to Acadia in Maine this past weekend. The ride home in the thunderstorm wasn't much fun though! If you've never ridden up there - you need to consider it! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=47623&post=932126#POST932126 |

As I told Scott, I kept the bike, I'm just not ready for payments or to give up my fun little bike. I did the both-headlight-on conversion and it works great! I have a Youtube video of the change. Just search for XB12S and search by posted date. Anyone still want to go to Lowell or a Sunday ride ever? |

Hey guys, posted over in NEBO and they directed me to post here too. From North Reading MA, and new to the Buell/Motorcycle community. Just looking to say hello and thank you to everyone for all the great information. |
