He hasn't done the crest road yet because it's gotten snowed on within the past two weeks and the LOVE to put that red cinder crap all over the roads. I usually wait a while to go up there until I'm sure it's fairly clear. Of course, in anticipation of a 191 ride, we'll certainly be up there soon. We're setting up a group ride for this Sunday, so we'll see how he does. |

We had a good meeting last night at Chase's diner. We had six Buellers there, and had a good time. We discussed Buell in general, the new Erik Buell Racing, did some discussions of local Arizona events, kicked tires, etc. 5 Buells were on the lot. S2, XB, 1125r, Two Cr's. _______________________________________ Quick update from our Sister group in Northern Cal. Thanks to Woz. _______________________________________ The meeting went well. We had 76 people there by the end, with some folks actually arriving near 7PM, when the "show" was almost over. Bill Keys started with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, which was great. Ray Abrams with Kenny Roberts' bike Jimmy Odom Chris Carter of Motion Pro with Bubba Shobert's bike Bob Bellino from Calistoga Flattrack Steve, his sponsor Esther, the t-shirt sales and ticket sales girl, great girl Lots of people. Laser racing was there with two bikes. He's local, from San Leandro. |

Hey Andrew, Thanks for the call on the charging system update! I'm going out of town this weekend to Tucson for a friends wedding and bike week is the following weekend so It will either be the next weekend after that or I may squeeze her in next week. I'll call and let you know for sure. How early/late are you guys open on the week days? |

Hey everyone! 09 XB12Ss in hand and loving it. Coming from 03R1, 06GXXR750 to this. I'm am not disappointed. The world of BUELL is something I hope to be a part of for a long time. I look forward to some local rides and picking up tricks of the trade. I'm a busy bee with full time work and full time school. MMI in the house! Something to look forward to Prescott Flat Track 05/01/2010 |

TIM, we would like to meet around 9AM, and kickstands up around 9:30AM Charlie, after riding the Dragon, you should also ride the Cherokola Skyway, it goes OVER the Smokey Mountains. While you are in the area, you should ride part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Enjoy your ride and post some pics! OOHRAH ! Welcome NOctrnl3d, you can't go wrong with a Buell. You will enjoy yourself for sure. Plenty of rides abound, just point yourself out of town, and follow the two lanes. stay away from anything that has 3 lanes or more! |

Buell spotting... I was headed N. on Stapely somewhere between Guadalupe and the 60 and saw a black fire bolt with a red windshield heading the other way... we waved at each other in passing. Anyone on here? |

Thanks Bart! I'll take pics. I think I'll post early in the tale section to see if anyone out here has a suggested route for their area too i.e. Georgia. I think there's some good roads there... Best to all! |

Looks good Nick! I was drilling my head out last night. Have to run the tap through it a few more times to get the threads nice and smooth, then it's time to reassemble my bike. I should be rolling soon. |

BUELL SWAG! I am in El Paso for work and I went to Barnett H-D and picked up a couple hats for $5 each. They also still had several new Buells still on the floor. I wish I had the $ to ride one back to AZ. |

Yep Valiant, I believe it is Florence. I honestly don't know much about it, but my squad leader said he needed a designated marksman :P We are being put on orders for points only, so I can use the excuse it is "for" the military :P |
