Author Message   Mikethebike72 Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 09:31 am:        Welcome back Jim and Amanda. Nice pics. Sucks about the battery Shades.   U4euh Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2009 - 12:40 pm:        Brankin-that picture above of the 4 wheeler at the Harley dealer. Over the top of it in the back ground is a Buell. Did you happen to get some pictures of it. Looks very modded a far as body work!   Spike Posted on Friday, February 13, 2009 - 11:08 pm:        Bummer: This is one of the very early '06 style belts. It has about 23k miles on it.   1313 Posted on Saturday, February 14, 2009 - 03:52 am:        U4, Nope! Didn't take any pictures of that Buell...during this trip that is... But here are some I snagged of it when I was in Germany in June. On the trailer to go to the MSM: And part of Frankfurt Buell's display at the MSM: There were, however, some cool Lightning's in the Buell dealership this trip. Not Lightning, per se, but still COOL: Mansinthe=GOOD! 1313   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, February 14, 2009 - 04:48 pm:        This seems to have gone over well.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, February 14, 2009 - 04:54 pm:        I have a muffler. I learned a few things. A 7/16 socket is approximately the same size as an 11mm socket. You see it requires a deep socket to get to the bolts on the muffler straps. So I took a bolt (from the last time I changed straps) down to the store and they gave me an 11 mm. I used that to take the straps off. Then, today, as I was putting them back on, I wondered "how did I get them off last time?" Which explains the 7/16 deep socket I located in the bottom of my toolbox. The testride was awesome.   1313 Posted on Saturday, February 14, 2009 - 04:57 pm:        What once was bright: Now is 'RIGHT': The only thing worse than Friday the 13th is Saturday the 14th... 1313   Seeinstars Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 09:37 am:        hey jim, what muffler did you get? it looks like the stock one in the picture.   Xb9ser Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 11:52 am:        Any one going to IMS in Greenville. Post on adventure thread so we can get a head count.Thanks Glenn   Jlnance Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 01:37 pm:        Seein - It is stock, but it has been ceramic coated.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 01:51 pm:        It's chilly but still a nice day for a ride.   Shadyplace20 Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 09:22 pm:        Jlnance, It WAS cold today. MikeThebike, I took my battery out and down to Battries+, had them charge it Sunday, picked it up today and lo and behold she started right up. No clue why my tender had't charged it well enough. I didn't complain, but jumped on for a trip around west Raleigh. Of course smiling all the while. BTW, I'm drooling over that black and red lightning in the above pics.   Shadyplace20 Posted on Monday, February 16, 2009 - 09:26 pm:        Spike, how many miles on that belt?   Spike Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 08:08 am:        quote: Spike, how many miles on that belt? About 23k miles.   Kmbuell Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 05:58 pm:        XB9SR, I'm planning to head down to the IMS Spartenburg show on Sunday. I'll most likely leave Winston-Salem around 9:30 that should get us there around 11:30 or so. Sounds like a small show vs ATL in the past. I'm going to bring all 4 bike keys to see if they'll give me four shirts. If they do, there will be some to share.   Ulywife Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 09:48 pm:        Kevin - good to see you post on C3! Enjoy the show!   Dragonslayer Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - 11:38 pm:        I'll be there, I hope to meet some of ya.   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 05:48 am:        Dragonslayer - Were you in Suches, GA for Buelltoberfest? Amanda thinks we followed you up 129. I touched her feet down trying to keep up with you.   Dragonslayer Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 10:16 am:        Yup, that was me. Was that y'all on the Ulysses? I was watchin' y'all on 129, thinkin' to myself I'd like to get a Ulysses (in addition to the 12R of course). That way my wife could go tackle some curves with me. I'm told the Ulys are excellent two-up bikes, and the two of you were confirming it for me.   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 10:22 am:        Yes, that was us. The Uly does well two up, and most passengers love the bike. I tell people not to take their wives on a testride if they don't want to buy one. We did 1000 miles that weekend to give you an idea of the passenger comfort.

Who wants to join me?   Rubberdown Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 02:04 pm:        MTB, nice score! Wish I could join you but I don't think I can get up there. Busy times.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 02:37 pm:        I think I may have found someone to go with me. Should be a good time. I can't wait to see what seats I will have.   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 07:39 pm:        I hope you have a great time!   Mikethebike72 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 10:26 am:        I think I will!   U4euh Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 12:45 pm:        How about a 2005 Blast, CLEAN, very clean, low miles for 1600? Seriuosly thinking about this one. Could be a great beginner bike for Sabrina also.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 01:39 pm:        That's a good price. Is it a Riders Edge bike? Even if it is, I still think it's a good deal, but it may have a clutch replacement in it's future.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 02:41 pm:        Now Jim, you know the clutches on Rider's Edge bikes are never abused. LOL.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 03:57 pm:        Well, I suspect some riders edge bike are shifted with out the clutch. They probably have pristine clutch plates.
