Author Message   1313 Posted on Saturday, June 10, 2006 - 11:14 pm:        Jim, Haven't stumbled upon any hearses in Wichita, yet... Based on the AWESOME 4 wheeled vehicles of all sorts (lots of kick arse Rat Rods all over the place - air bagged 63 Lincoln Continental, bare metal chopped, channeled and sectioned 29 A-bone, suede flamed 57 Chevy, and on, and on, AND ON!!!) Wichita is NOT short on CULTURE (or should I say KULTURE?)! I got a feeling that my DED SLD would fit in quite well... Buell's all over the freakin' place (well compared to Eastern NC)! Today I've seen dang near every Buell model made (well, except an RW 750, RR's, RS/RSS, S2 or XBRR). I met up with Tom_b last night and a buddy of his (who also has an X1). Both are GREAT people! So is it Buell's or BadWeb that draws the GREAT people? You tell me? Hard call to make, if you ask me. I got one question that someone may be able to answer... How is it a cover band can play both Bon Jovi and KISS?!?! Strangest thing I ever heard... Sure wish I could make New River's shindig...Whoever makes it - HAVE FUN and TAKE PICTURES! 1313   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, June 10, 2006 - 11:15 pm:        Bad: Daddy come to the bathroom. I've had an accident. Worse: I tried to clean it up myself.   Southern Marine Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 01:34 am:        Okay, made it out there today and I have the sunburn of sunburns to prove it. I went off and forgot the lotion. I've got a ton of pictures, and wish I could host my videos. I'll try to get them downsized and posted before I head out Monday. I went straight from the event to work tonight and I have work Sunday night too. Oh, not only did I bring home pictures, but I brought home the 2nd place trophy for the Buell category. I sure wish some of ya'll could have showed up. Honestly, there weren't too many Buells there. As a matter of fact, there were only TWO Buells participating in the show. The guy who took first has a 2000 X1, the red/white race stripe edition. It's chromed out, polished, carbon fiber, etc... He mentioned that he's thinking about selling it. I told him to check out BadWeb and post it here.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 09:22 am:        Cool Southern. I can't wait to see the pictures.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 09:23 am:        Rubberdown - I feel a need for some vacation this week. You free?   1313 Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 10:07 am:        Just saw this advertisement on Yahoo when I shut down my E-mail. Getting the word out is definitely a very good thing... Congrats Southern! 1313 (Message edited by 1313 on June 11, 2006)   Xb9ser Posted on Sunday, June 11, 2006 - 08:00 pm:        Hey Brankin you comeing to the smoke out this year? Anybody else from C3 comeing? it is not for the faint of heart mostly old school choppers but a little bit of everything.   Aydenxb9 Posted on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 01:16 pm:        Brankin, Goodguys was in town this weekend at IRP, too bad it rained. Still, there were all kinds of rods running around. So, how'd things go with Big Dog? Rode to Nashville Indiana Thursday, and boy, oh boy did I find a ROAD!!!! Indiana 135 south from Nashville is FREAKIN AWESOME!!! It is for all intents and purposes, a mountain pass type slab of asphalt. The only thing it lacked was switch-backs. It runs through the hills then across a valley then back up the other side. Along the way some of the sights are cool too. The best was the town of Story. All that's there is a bed and breakfast with a "general store" restaurant that looks like a movie set from the Waltons or something. As I started out on it, I was stuck behind a Gold Wing trying it's best but Dave was getting bored, so it was "see-ya" at the first possibility and off on a tear I went. The road snaked through the trees and I was grinning ear to ear. Nice combination of sweepers and twisties. Thinking this is cool then the road makes a right and runs through the valley right on the ridge and things got fun fast. Indiana doesn't believe in leveling the land for roads, they just pave over what ever the topography is, so this thing has become a roller coaster. Up, down, the into a turn then around a bend then up over in a turn, etc, so on, so forth. It was awesome. Then comes the turn at Story, then on across the valley then on up the other side in a series of esses each one getting tighter. I got about 20 miles down the road when it straightened out some and I could see off on the horizon the potential for more but I'd just had so much fun, I spun around and went back for a second attack. After tearing it up on 135 for a while , I cruised through Nashville. It's a little tourist town full of days past charm and blocks on end of gift shops. I'd gone there as a kid on a family vacation and remember it as such, but not as upscale. Tried to go ride around Brown Co. State Park but they wanted $4 for a day pass! No thanks, I'll turn around and headed north toward Indy on 135. It's just nice sweepers for miles then straightens out from then on. I peeled off an worked my way back toward Columbus In. and stopped at a Yamamha dealer there. Low and behold, they had a nice S-1 on the floor. So I drooled over it for a while the decided, Dave's hungry-needs Skyline. I plotted a coarse for Greensburg (the problem with that was, I forgot the Skyline was in Batesville much further east) rode on! Got to Greensburg when I realized my mistake. The day was getting late, so I abandoned the Skyline quest(with a whimper and a sigh) and beat tracks back toward Shelbyville, maybe I can catch 'P' before she leaves work so on to I-74 and run 5 over prevailing traffic, which was running 85 mph. Had a guy on a CBR pull along side and challenge me, him pointing down the road, I wave, look ahead, and whoosh, he's gone-Sucker!! I watched him fly off into the distance, like I'm stupid enough to race him in a straight line. Now let me find him on 135, and Katie bar the door! He's toast. Made it back in time, had dinner with 'Letta, and disturbed the neighbors taking the back way home. Defector-Director   M2nc Posted on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 07:44 pm:        D-D or DAD = I love rides like that. Its great that you have some good roads to go ride on. Hope everyone at home is fine, we just had Skyline for dinner so I am not as jealous as I normally would be. Have fun - Ride safe.   Cyclone Posted on Monday, June 12, 2006 - 09:03 pm:        Aydenxb9 - Those roads where my favorite when I lived in Indiana also. I used to ride them as much as I could. Thanks for bringing back the memories.   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 07:46 am:        "Rubberdown - I feel a need for some vacation this week. You free?" Just riding locally this weekend. My son's birthday and father's day.   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 07:53 am:        I'm leaving July 7th and heading West. I'm gonna play some in the NC mountains then head to Nashville and pick up the Natchez Trace Parkway. It runs about 500 miles diagonally through Mississippi to the SW corner of MS. I'll then head east along another scenic byway, turn South and pick up a Ferry to the Barrier Islands. I'll follow the Barrier to Orange Beach, Alabama and meet my family/inlaws for a week at the Gulf. Then another 3-4 day tour coming home. If anybody wants to ride to the mountains or meet for some part of this, let me know. I have no route planned for the return tour.   Jlnance Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 12:49 pm:        Rubberdown - I was thinking about Thursday and part of Friday ...   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 01:09 pm:        I wish... can't slip away this week .... 'cept for afternoon rides....   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 08:47 pm:        Speaking of Rubberdown.......... . . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . Bet ya'll didn't know that Mike was racing that beemer did ya. Hell Mike I bet you didn't either. LOL   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 09:35 pm:        BLA hahahahahahah Too Cool!   M2nc Posted on Tuesday, June 13, 2006 - 10:14 pm:        Rubberdown - That is my vacation week in July. All I have to do is convince Kristi that I can drop her off at the beach then I can ride the rest of the week! (Believe that right!) Anyway - we have a cottage on the beach rented with a pool and hot tub. If you guys happen to ride toward Emerald Isle, give me a call.   Blake Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 12:41 am:        Testing... Type in "CCC" (without the quotes, case sensitive) and get... "Carolina Corner Carvers." Thanks to Jin Nance for the suggestion.   Escham Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 11:10 am:        Hi fellow Tarheels. I just want to introduce myself. I purchased an 06 XB12s yesterday from HD of High Point. I wrote a longer summation of my experience on the XB board and was invited to come on over. I LOVE this bike! It has been ~5 years since I last rode a motorcycle (GSXR750) and that was a one day thing. I was a little nervous about mounting and riding it, but I rolled off without a hitch. I put about 70 miles on it yesterday evening/night in some light rain and wouldn't you know it, the temp tag is MIA. Unfortunately, it is raining cats and dogs now so all I can do is sit in my garage and fawn over it. I am going to spend some time getting familiar with my bike and then I will look to come out and play with some of you guys. No buyers remorse here, this bike is GREAT! Eric   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 11:24 am:        Welcome Eric! You will find some great Tarheels here! We have members from the NC mountains to the NC coastline. Be sure to check out our Adventure folder for past and upcoming events. Glad you are enjoying your new Buell and hopefully Alberto will go away soon!   U4euh Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 12:46 pm:        I've been stuck in that hyperlink loop above for 15 minutes. Welcome Eric! Got a great group of people here at Carolina Corner Carvers I believe Glenn (XB9ser) is from your area or there abouts. Anyone riding this weekend? hey the "Carolina Corner Carvers" thing worked, very cool. it even worked with the qoutes (Message edited by u4euh on June 14, 2006) (Message edited by u4euh on June 14, 2006)   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 12:56 pm:        Maybe we're moving up in the BadWeb world!! We at least know we're traveling the roads with the demo trailer!! Did I say that "out loud"?   Webethumpin Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 04:22 pm:        Welcome Eric,you will love Bad-Web.There are more resources on this site than you could imagine.Not only for Buell topics but motorcycling in general.The people on this site are great too. Can't wait to meet ya and carve some corners.Oh yea,dont forget to check out the Brag meeting schedule @ Sheltons-HD of Goldsboro.

Congrats on the new bike, know the rain has got to be KILLING you...   Webethumpin Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 05:05 pm:        OKAY... gonna try this in MY name... Webe didn't log out Hi Eric, Webe's wife here....Congrats on the new bike. I know the rain has got to be KILLING you. LOL wonder how many times you've gone outside just to look at it...I got my first bike in November and I remember the feeling.   Webesblastgirl Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 05:07 pm:        I'm not typing that stuff again!!!..... UGH... LOL yall can read it twice but three times is a bit much.   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 05:21 pm:        Ellen - Carlos will be glad to know that he's not the only one "cross posting"!!   Blake Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 05:25 pm:        Just added the ability for folks to create new threads within the main page here. See the "Start New Thread" link at the bottom of the subtopic/archive list atop the page. Now that Greg (Bigdaddy) has bravely agreed to come on board as a custodian, he can do all kinds of fun stuff with the place here.   Ulywife Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 06:03 pm:        Cool - thank you Blake and Greg! C3 is really coming along.   M2nc Posted on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 - 09:46 pm:        Welcome Eric - 1313 and I are the co-directors of the official BRAG side of things. I mention this because C3 is not the conventional BRAG club. Our host dealer is Shelton's HD/ Buell in Goldsboro, but has three open stores (Durham, Smithfield and Goldboro) and is opening a fourth in Henderson. This allows us to have a large area of central to eastern North Carolina. So our range is huge. Even though some of us carry Brag membership, we are mostly a Badweb group. Our first four members all met here and we then pushed to make C3 "Official." As a Badweb group we covers most of the state with members like Big Daddy out in Pumpkin Center to 1313 in New Bern and the rest of us in between. We also have what we call C3-Friends that ride other brands of motorcycles. We are an inclusive group mainly because Rubberdown is on a constant test ride and you never know what he is going to show up on, and many of our couples have Harleys and Buells. We get together for big and small rides which you can check out some of our adventure pictures over the past two years on our Adventures page. On the same page you can see what we are planning next. We are presently planning a C3 Adventure to Western North Carolina, specifically Boone. We have a ball when we are together, riding or relaxing. I can safety say that all on this board are great and I am very happy with how our little group has grown. Welcome again and if you have any questions please feel free to PM me C3 Co-Director, Kristi (Ulywife) Cruise Director or Brankin (1313) Co-Director.
