    Ducati 1199 Panigale TerraCorsa — Off-Road Superbike

    Sorry, I thought this was a joke, my bad... well any Off road rider will know this is a joke. Needs different seat and handle bars to even think of handeling any rocks or tricky sections. But anyone who would spend his hard earned money for a "Dirt Superbike"' Probably isn't really going off...

    I feel like a traitor

    I finely rode an XR the other day, fast enough, but lacks torque and fun a Buell has for sure. This one had power commander and a pipe. He also had Progressive suspension . Fun... but I'd take my Uly any day!

    My Uly

    sure wish EBR would come up with a "new Uly"" . They are a blast to ride, and very multipurpose. Love mine, Glad to see you on the forum.

    clicking noise when stopping

    Well Stopie20 you are correct. It stopped for about 40 miles, then started again, then quit again. Going to have to get bearings very soon. need tires too. Anyone know if this is a problem or just one of those things. I tend to ride wheelies a lot but rarely ever slam down, usually fairly soft...

    clicking noise when stopping

    Bingo, I have 11k on mine and that's the same noise. I know the bearing in steering head is the problem, but haven't rechecked yet. Take handle bars off, loosen pinch bolt at top up and tighten the cap with allen head ( don't know the size, but kinda big) and apparently there should be a light...

    clicking noise when stopping

    It is definitely the steering head nut, I tightened it today and noise went away for awhile. I didn't tighten it enough though cause it came back. Going to try again, read up on the way to do it correctly and sure I didn't tighten enough. may have to get new bearings if it returns after that...

    clicking noise when stopping

    I just developed a "clicking"or poping noise when stopping. Comes from area of front fork at about where triple clamps are. I can also bounce front forks with front brake on and get the noise, fairly loud, but let go of brake and bounce the noise isn't there. I did see someone had posted...

    My stupid mistake...

    I am sorry to hear of the misfortune. I once fell over sitting still , getting ready to park ,with the wife on the back. Rolled us right off, embarrassed us so bad we left without even eating. Scratched my puck,broke my mirror and front turn signal. I have done what you described in a car before...

    Off Ramp runs

    Don't get me wrong, I have watched Kieth Codes movie on youtube,I shift my weight, but don't hang off the bike so much because I like the lean angle. I see some peoples pics and they are way off the bike and are not leaned over much. This may be "safer"but so far haven't had traction issues. I...

    Off Ramp runs

    Big Twin is correct,off ramps only practice rt turns,but still fun. The parking lot turns I have always done and thats one place the Uly realy shines. It can slow corner way better than most sport bikes.I use up as much "chicken strip" there as I do making fast turns. I have xt version but it...

    Off Ramp runs

    I've been doing some Off Ramp runs,where you take one off ram to the next on ramp to the next off ramp ,etc and end up making a cloverleaf circle. It's a blast and good "lean"practice, not sure if it's legal,but can make 3 or 4 laps then leave. Anyone know of other spots other than mountan roads...

    Shouts of compliments to my Buell from strangers on the road

    I've had many inquiries about my Uly, it's really different from other bikes, untill recently.Now Ducati,Honda,even Moto Gusie(spelled wrong) all have similar looking bikes. If I ride with my son who has GSXR 750,the crowd looks over my bike cause it's not a "sport bike", but his frinds that...

    riding with a passenger

    All those pointers are excellent, but I got a communication system (scala rider) and my wife calmed down and now loves riding. Just being able to talk normally to each other opened the door for my wife,who used to hold on so tight I thought I would crash. Looking back the first 2 rides are...

    my helmet

    I finely got the pictures of my stripe I added to my wheels,so I put my helmet I did a couple years ago. I usually paint them but got impatient when it came in and just made decals for it, but I think it came out good.

    Added a stripe to my wheels

    I am a Ford tech ,but have my own side sign business-got bored in the cold weather and cut decal word "BUELL" and placed on the wheel in 3 equal spaced places(used 3 spokes) then added stripe inbetween ,all in red on black wheels. looks great and breaks up the all black wheel/tire look. I'm...

    Oil Change Intervals...

    I am a Ford tech, Ford does say 10,000,but we recomend no more than 7,500 here. The oil seems very good but no one remembers to rotate in between the oil changes and the edges seem to wear from "exit ramp" speed turns. As for my Buell I go 5000 with Mobil 1 full synthetic and I use a motorcraft...
