I like the tips, fellowship, and humor as well. The reason I think my Lightning runs so well is I don't mess with it. As far as riding skills, I have the biggest chicken strips on this forum.
 
I see that I'll have a short stay here, but what the hell! And with that short time I will ask that we all try to put some info in your personal profiles. Not looking to get anyone's life history, but it does help to know something about the person you are talking to. I've been on here for over 2 years now and can say without a doubt this is Buell central!
Last year I got to meet some of you in person at Deals Gap(DragonIII) and it was great to put a face with a user name. AT my age it helps!!! Razman:D
 
i just bought a bluetooth helmet on ebay for 58 bucks plus shipping. Word to the wise, DONT BY A BLUETOOTH HELMET OFF OF EBAY FOR 58 BUCKS!!!! THE DAMN THING WONT EVEN CHARGE AND HAS ONE SPEAKER IN IT. ISNT THE DEFINITION OF STEREO MULTIPLE SOUND SOURCES??
 
I feel I finally found a thread where I belong! I don't really have mechanical skills (hoping to learn from this site), I just started riding...so no good stories either. I'm not sure what help I can really be to anyone. I do have a graphic design degree.....so I use Photoshop and Illustrator and make decals and signs. I'm sure there are plenty of others who do that stuff already on here. Someday I'll find my rightful place in this forum....maybe when I reach 200 posts and graduate from this thread!
 
Yesssssssssssssssss. I've done mostly cosmetic things to my bike. Don't feel like stripping the thing down to get it painted. Oh I have done the clubman bar mod to my lightning, which rocks.
 
Just poppin in from the 400 - 600 thread to say your all doing an outstanding job. Keep up the good posts.
jl551c... great idea.
OK I'm outta here.

Cool thread. I think at some point everyone starts here. No mechanical skills? no mods? No plans to change anything out of fear you'll royally screw something up.

But once you're here, it starts. Its a culture and its infectious (in a good way). I got my 12r last summer and in NYC, there aren't a whole lot of buellers anywhere near me to walk me through stuff. Aside from a modded can from the last owner, it was pretty stock. Then as you lurk here, the ideas start to gel and the jargon becomes language and the gears start turning upstairs; you download a service manual and you start obsessively hitting the search button, buying little parts and accessories; start cannibalizing unfinished projects that you've been tooling with in the basement over the years.

Even if you're not the most technically inclined, you begin to start messing with the things that wont cost your life, like adhesive backed sliders, then you relocate mirrors and it starts to snowball as you take on bigger challenges. Then one day...(Frame sliders/axle sliders/bar end/mirrors/breather reroutes and catch cans/after market filters/ ecm spy cables/pin striping etc...later ... you're doing your own oil and plug changes and ordering tool boxes and Buell flags and stands for the garage...

I am a BUELLER and this is my culture...
 
P.S. - No matter how little we feel we can contribute to the board at times, there's always someone that knows less and while the elders or founding members on here may not be free to answer every question for the billionth time from a new owner, that's where we can chip in and pass on what we learned here... it's a pedigree of sorts.
 
Same here,Log on almost everyday to see whats on everyones mind,And to read who ever is having a new problem with Jobe Posting!Some of that **** is funny)i.e.Hang over thread.Cheers to all the creeper lurking in the dark shadows of BuellXB. Thank you all Great Site!!![up]
 
I took off this morning to go up Yarnell Hill and into Prescott. I knew the weather was going to be too good to waste; 80 in Phoenix, and low 60s up in the mountains.
But just before I got to Wickenburg, traffic was at a standstill. I asked an officer who was managing the backup, and he told me that there was a fatality crash up ahead, a couple on a bike. I just turned around an came home.
Be careful out there guys.
 
I guess nobody here ever played Starcraft :/ (Lurkers and Overlords) lol
I've only been on here for about a week or two and only have under 10 posts but i'm already getting ready to do a breather reroute mod, probably airbox delete, new levers + clutchlite, etc :)))
This forum is beyond helpful!
J_Undisputed! Where in queens are you from? I don't believe i've ever seen your bike.
 
I'm in South Richmond Hill (exit 4 on the Van Wyck), Gaza. I ride to work sometimes in the South Bx (Van Wyck->Grand Central-Triborough Bridge->Deegan). Most of riding in and around the city is for $hit because aside from the highways, you're not getting to crank it open much. Check your pm...I'll shoot you the rest there rather than jack this thread...
