Real men ride watercooled monsters. Tubers are for girls, XB's are for old men : D

Damn, that means I am getting old (only riding the XB these days)!

Well done Ricky, I hope she knows how spoiled she is.

looks great. You will have to post pics with your girl on the bike. Nothing sexier than a women on her own ride.

I think he means the water cooled 1125 that is a ticking time bomb with no readily available replacement parts because of outsourcing of Original replacement parts... Those watercooled monsters are Garbage.

Interesting, my two ticking time bombs have been more reliable than my two air heads, and part availability has been the same. My father had a harder time getting a replacement original throttle grip for his 09 Electra Glide than I have for pretty much any Buell part over the last 5 years. If you want a real ticking timebomb with season long part wait times, gets a Suzuki GS500. : )

Really, a "my bike is better than yours" thread.

We are better than this.

It is all in good fun : )

But I was serious about waiting almost 3 months on parts for my 2 year old Suzuki.

I figured you were just kidding Frank.

I would hate to see a Bueller alienated because of joshing. You know there are not that may of us. While the HD vs Sportster crowd often jokes about "when are you going to get a real bike" or "a sporty is a girls bike" I have a feeling that just gets people pissed off. My point is, we are better than that. Having owned tubers, XBs and one 1125 I liked them all for different reasons. I did have my favorites but it is really just because of personal preference.

I want to see pictures of the girl on the XB. I spent all day working around the house and Lynn is up in Denver for a seminar. I got a lot done but no rides today. Tomorrow is a different story I hope. Lynn needs to get out on her XB as much as I need to get on my tuber.

Never had any trouble with my GS500(E). I did find the service cost for the valvel adjustments and multiple fork seal failures expensive in the three years I had the bike.

Sure was a fun little bike, with I'd kept it for my wife, now that she's got her M endorsement she's not comfortable with either of our current bikes.

Frank, we've had light rain here in Salt Lake all day, I imagine that will make it over to you by Sunday. Ride safe, it's just enough to slick the roads, but not so much as to get you very wet.

Rain got here about 2 this morning... roads are wet but the rain stopped for now.
I go in to work in an hour, hope I don't have to drive a cage.

The only bikes I make fun of anymore are the slow, hard to maneuver Harleys. ; )

Ride far, ride often.
