    SPOTTED THREAD: Pittsburgh/WPa; all Buell models

    nice to see the Western PA/PGH thread getting some traffic. Cannot wait to see everyone out on the roads as the gravel starts to wash away from the corners and the temps get more consistent. I've mainly been riding my pedal bike lately but on some of my longer rides out in Beaver County and...

    rider height 2006xb lightning12s

    Encouragement: I'll go one further for ya. I am 5' 7" and have 30 inch inseam. I've been riding a xb12sTT (which, after the ULY is the highest seat on an xb). Don't know the exact height but a techie here probably knows. In any case, the most comfortable and stable I've found it to be is at...

    XB12 SS or STT??

    Elvis- Not sure if you've made the decision yet, but look-up some of my "previous posts" on this forum about my off-road riding adventures on the sTT. Great bike in rough stuff and still handles the paved twisties with the best of them. Also has a great "all day" riding position if you like...

    Lightning Owner Riding Survey -

    Wow, guys - I am really impressed with these responses. Now, the "long story" explanation for my initial questions; I will have owned my bike for exactly two years as of 10/31/11. I presently have 5700 miles on the ODO (bought the bike as a new leftover as part of the going out of business...

    Lightning Owner Riding Survey -

    @turbo..."pasta rocket" -good one, never heard that before, but like it! ...or you could even call them "grease rockets"... (...and I can say that since I'm Italian, albeit Northern Italian; blonde hair/blue eyed).

    Lightning Owner Riding Survey -

    I don't ride with anybody and don't see nearly as many Buell riders out and about when I am riding...possibly due to a number of factors (where I am at, the fact I am not connected to any other riders locally, etc). however, was wondering if Lightning owners (in particular; I do know ULY riders...

    Fed up with my buell

    I've had my bike for two years, 5400 miles now. Bought it new. Just turn it on and ride. only issue was my own darn fault with fouling plugs because I'd start it up on a cold day and turn it right back off, which is not good for these engines. i sense that those who have problems with Buells...

    SPOTTED THREAD: Pittsburgh/WPa; all Buell models

    Local Pittsburghers I need some help: I was just quoted $220 for a single rear Pirelli Scorpion Sync for my xb12sTT (as much as I love the shop for service, it was at New Castle HD). I see them on the web for $170-$195. I'd rather just buy local so I can have them install the tire to my wheel...
