Has anyone gotten one of these yet?

http://www.experiencebuell.com/

If anyone has one, how are they? Are they worth the time I would spend taking out one of the bikes for a ride?

What am I talking about? I might PAY for a test ride!

I got one for teasing myself with an 1125r ride. Man that bike is the sh-t! Iam in love all over again. Trying to figure a way to put one in my garage. Absolutely loved its handling and agility. Motor was good but quiet. I ride an X1 and it seemed to have a little more down low and mid than the R. Oh yeah, onto topic! Hydrate pack is good quality and works well. I have already used it in the wood on my quad.

as far as test riding a bike to get a pack is concerned, beware, you might turn out like me and get rid of the sportster for the xt. don't know when i'll use it but it's there just incase. i use the sling bag and the messenger bag more than any of the promos i've gotten.

Ive got one....

One Complaint. They Whistle! Look at the pictures. On the shoulder there are little ribbon straps (I guess to hold the tube when not in use) Those straps catch the wind and sing a horrible song from about 45 mph on up.

Granted, I ride a 12Scg, not a Uly or Firebolt (both of which have windscreens) but I'm about 2 seconds away from cutting them off. I just haven't figured out if they are absolutely necessary yet.

Oh... and don't imagine you'll carry anything other then your License and Registration in the little cargo space supplied if you've got the pack full.

I got one while at MBV, and they're pretty nice for a free unit. The water bag has one of those big screw caps so they're easy to clean, and looks like theres a pocked to stick a freeze pack in there to keep things cold.

I like it, just haven't used it yet.

Wear the pack UNDER your jacket, no whistle then.. Of course it makes routing the tube a little trickier but it can be done.

I got mine without even getting to take a ride.. after they figured out there was such a thing, I was told they were too short handed to do any test rides, so here, take this and if you figure it out, let us know how to work it.. So I did.. not that what I told them really stayed with them I'll bet...

Got mine today after test riding a Blast, of all things. Fun little scoot. I didn't see the 1125R, which was just as well.

Anyway, the hydration bag looks cool and might actually serve me better while commuting on bicycle. I'll be the envy of the spandex crowd with BUELL clearly showing on the back.
