Author Message   Cataract2 Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 09:16 am:        Ooooook, so, for those of us who may not get tickets to this race. Who's house (Florida boys) are we having the race party at? Vegas? You still have that offer on the table for the races?   Davegess Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 12:38 pm:        Tickets fopr the 200 should be available on race day at the gate. I don't think that it has ever even come close to selling out.   Honu Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 12:59 pm:        Davegess, Thanks, I was wondering how to purchase tickets and worrying about availability, was hoping I could get them at the track that week.   Cataract2 Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 04:14 pm:        But I want to be with the other Buell fans....   Raraf Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 04:28 pm:        $$30K$$ is a lot of money to never finish in the top 10 over the 600cc bikes. But they sound like trains at least. PIR here I come!   Jscott Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 04:31 pm:        never say never   Josh_ Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 04:34 pm:        Raraf, you'll put $$ down right now that a XBRR will never finish a Formula Extreme race ahead of a 600cc bike? Who wants to hold the dough?   Court Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 05:50 pm:        Am I the only one who recalls when "all knowing" folks had it on "good authority" that Buell was doomed and would cease to exist in the next 6 months. Man...talk about a total failure at ceasing to exist.   Daves Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 05:56 pm:          Hattori_hanzo Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 05:59 pm:        Geez Court...you have an inside line with Erik...let him know he's supposed to have quit by now! My opinion is simple...this can only lead to bigger and badder street Buells in the near future. With the successful introduction of the Ulysses and now a pure race bike, Buell has opened a lot of eyes that would normally be lookin' the other way. That's not such a bad thing.   Tommy_2stroke Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 07:50 pm:        Bravo Buell, bravo, bravo! [standing ovation] Wow, is there anything the XB platform cannot do? Streetfighter, sportbike, city bike, canyon runner, touring bike, adventure bike, daily driver, commuter... ...and now balls-out race bike. What a design, what a versatile, flexible platform the XB is. It slices, it dices, it julienes potatoes! No but really... to me, the fact that this design does so many things so well speaks volumes about the fundamental "rightness" of the Buell XB design.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 08:45 pm:        Inspired by Dave Gess . I know it's not that good, but in my defense there's nothing out there (on the web) yet of good enough quality, all the pics I have are from taken from a cell phone. The engine is taken from the Buell web site, screen captures of their flash. I got the idea from Dave's transparent Buell, the other Race Only Buell. Hope that's OK Dave.   Dbird29 Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 09:42 pm:        As always Glitch, excellent.   Davegess Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 09:57 pm:        COOL   Skully Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 10:43 pm:        $$30K$$ is a lot of money to never finish in the top 10 over the 600cc bikes. Have you checked the Formula Extreme results from 2004? The two guys racing XBs placed in the top 10 a number of times with one placing in the top four if memory serves correct. That would place the XBs ahead of a lot of 600cc bikes! Also, does anyone know what a Honda FX race-ready bike costs? I'm betting that it is a lot more $30k! Wow, is there anything the XB platform cannot do? Streetfighter, sportbike, city bike, canyon runner, touring bike, adventure bike, daily driver, commuter... Don't forget drag racing! Keith   Mutation_racer Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 11:12 pm:        30k is not as much as most of the AMA bikes cost.its amazing that so many people know what their talking about   Diablobrian Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 11:26 pm:        I'd wager that the factory Hondas cost twice that. Top tier racing isn't cheap.   Choptop Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 11:30 pm:        I'll put $ on ... not all the Buells that enter the Daytona 200 are running on the track at the end. Common understanding of the above statement. No.. wellllll, it was running the garage, and the garage in part of the track BS.... in the race, on the track... all that started. on the line? $.05 and a bottle of Sierra Vista Winery's finest. against?????????   Diablobrian Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 11:40 pm:        I'd wager that not all of the japanese bikes that start the 200 are still running at the end of the race. The 200 is a race of attrition. It's supposed to be hard.   Josh_ Posted on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 - 11:54 pm:        How about I give $.05 for each Buell that enters and doesn't finish and you give $.10 for any Japanese or $.05 for a Duc that enters and doesn't ride across the line. Drinks are on me if we ever meet up (I'll be the guy on the FJR wearing the "Yamaha Racing" hat )   Choptop Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 12:35 am:        $.05 per Duck? are you nuts? I mean, I like to gamble and all.. but not a sucker bet hehehehehee....   Vonsliek Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 02:39 am:        ain't all of this just typical harley management .. rip-off the racers (in this case) .. the bikers (in the fx case) .. call it yer own & charge the •••••••, layzeeboyzzz out there for the priviledge??!! i wonderwhat a magnesium cased V4 (siamesed cranks & independant heads) wld make?? aside from lard ass bike ...   Court Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 05:55 am:        Wouldn't it be cool if EVERYONE went to www.davegess.com and bought the original picture....just think. . . travel funds for one of the key player in Buell history to see the XBRR race at Daytona. Now THERE'S an idea. Spread the word.   Blake Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 05:34 pm:        Dave Gess! ATA 4534 Nonstop flight Fri 10-Mar, 5:40 pm Depart Chicago (MDW) Arrive Orlando (MCO) 9:07 pm Duration: 2hr 27mn ATA 4531 Nonstop flight Sun 12-Mar, 8:00 am Depart Orlando (MCO) Arrive Chicago (MDW) 9:40 am Duration: 2hr 40mn Price: $268   Blake Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 05:37 pm:        Paul (Vonsliek), Your question is along the same lines as the "when did you stop beating your wife" one. Since all 50 XBRR's have been sold, it seems that most don't share your view. I sure don't, not on any level.   Multi_bueller Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 05:49 pm:        ME TOO   Davegess Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 08:57 pm:        ATA 4534 Nonstop flight Fri 10-Mar, 5:40 pm Depart Chicago (MDW) Arrive Orlando (MCO) 9:07 pm Duration: 2hr 27mn ATA 4531 Nonstop flight Sun 12-Mar, 8:00 am Depart Orlando (MCO) Arrive Chicago (MDW) 9:40 am Duration: 2hr 40mn Workin' on finding the cash. Pretty tight this year. Sellin' some of those prints would help, Balke you have mail!   Glitch Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 09:23 pm:        SAVE DAVE GESS! Send Dave Gess to Daytona!   Diablobrian Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 09:42 pm:        I saw 3 pics, but only one had a motorcycle in it. I doubt those women in the other 2 will be racing against the Buell. Not to say they aren't fast rides...... (Message edited by diablobrian on January 25, 2006)   Josh_ Posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 - 09:48 pm:        Yeah but have you see that R6 in black? DAAAAMMMN That think will get speeding tickets in the show room.
