Again, a beautiful bike. Those grips are Rizoma aren't they? Very well done. [up]

Wonderwoman called, she wants her bike back.

Just kidding, awesome bike. There is a similiar one with the frame and scoops painted on the forum, owned by a girl, I believe. It looks really cool. I should buy a Triumph and paint it in a Union Jack theme. Then we could go riding together!

Pretty Sweet Ride! I feel like I should be standing at attention and Saluting!

Thanks for all your comments,the fender or hugger as I call it is an Ilmberger carbon fibre one which I have now taken off and am back to the original.I didnt really like the size of it.I like to see a minimal back end.The grips are Rizoma ones.I am English but the Stars and Stripes theme fits the bike.
I am in the process of having some billet parts made including bar clamp, brake res. cover, clutch and belt inspection covers.I will post new pics when these are fitted.
Thanks again and its great to talk to other Buellers although the reason I got one is for the exclusivity, dont come across too many over in England.

One of my goals before I leave Europe is to take my Buell to ride in the UK. I'd have to take the ferry over from France. It'd be hell of a long ride...but worth it.

 

[yorkshirelad]

There are some great roads over here but you have to keep away from the main roads as they are riddled with Gatsos.My riding group have just had a trip into Scotland by way of the "back roads", nice and twisty the way a Buell likes it.

subtle. love it

 

[abiohazard]

Sweet, now I'm going to have to do it for sure. Alps this summer, so probably UK next May...hell maybe this June or July. Screw the 20 year reunion, I think I'd rather ride.[up]

Oreet Yorkshire lad! I'm also from Yorkshire but now live North of Toronto. Your bike is way cool. I have an 03 XB9 Lightning with the race kit, exhaust, K&N, flat bars, bar end mirrors. Had the bike 3 years and love it! Not too many in Canada....not many Canadians know what they are. We live in the countryside so roads are wide flat, and despite the reputation, it doesn't snow year round....
Where in Yorkshire are you? I'm from Brighouse (until 7 years ago)...

Hello mate,seems youve forgot Yorkshire already by the looks of your user ID. Only kidding.
Im from a village near Pontefract. Where did you ride whilst in England.
