Im selling both my XB's

[djs2k2]

Erik still is in business, and pretty sure Harley shut them down because of ownership because they were selling just fine. And you just gotta love the torque numbers. And yes 1125 bigger than a 600, but 4 cylinders are also more than 2.

Thanks it gets confusing sometimes.[cool]

I voted you thumbs down till that response then I went back and voted you thumbs up. My brain hurts and my smiley face had a stroke. [smirk]

Just think of all the Sportsters that were never born so our slow and problem riddled bikes could use their motors....

 

[Gloomshadow]

yeah those DAMN SPORTSTER MOTORS... they don't belong on the road!

 

[Gloomshadow]

Evel Knievel would never ride a Buell
Ghost Rider would never ride a Buell
Batman would never ride a Buell
Boba Fett would never ride a Buell
Darth Vader would never ride a Buell

**** it! .. I gotta sell ALL my Buells...

Gloom, Im looking forward to the GXSR forum scheme. You have to keep us all posted on what happens. Im already laughing about it!

 

[Enemy Zero]

Please tell me when you do go to the gixxer board and which one it is so I can register as well. Maybe we can get one more to join in. you know it only takes three to make a gang.

Hell I'm down. I always wanted to be a douchey biker poseur. Leggo.

 

[Enemy Zero]

Yeeeeaaa. It's on.

Definitlely one of the worst names ever.

As awful as Biker Boyz was, I didn't hate it as much as Torque. When that movie came out I had a 2001 Aprilia Mille R. Everywhere I stopped, three people would run up and be all "Ah ****! Is this the bike from Torque?!?"

I didn't see either one of them.. I stay away from all motorcycle and hotrod movies. BUT I did see "Fastest" its on Netflix instant watch, if you haven't seen it yet, go see it. Its about Valentino Rossi... its the real thing. Another one worth watching is an old 70s motorcycle documentary called "On any Sunday" another interesting one.. especially if you like 70s era bikes.

I took the Advanced Rider Course at the beginning of this riding season. There were a few cruisers, a dual sport, my Buell and 5 guys on Gixxers. (4 600's and a 1000) All but one had the Mohawk helmet and 2 of them complained about being forced to wear a helmet.

It must be a Gixxer thing....

Well time for me to join in on the fun. Buells are not even really bikes. Its just a sportster, so call it that. Harley made it as a stepchild. Then they did what any good parent would do to a problem child, get rid of it. Erik is old and that front rotor doesn't look good who cares if it works. Plus didn't they steal that exhaust valve idea from honda vtec motors. Yeah they would make the bike go faster put honda vtecs on them. So how did I do guys any advice is appreciated?

 

[Gloomshadow]

2K2, you did good.. what about this one?

I took the XB12S out on the highway and that pussy little flyscreen provided NO protection at all. The wind was beating me to DEATH, my arms stretched out of their sockets and my chest felt like an elephant had sat on it. Boy the XB would be SOO much better if it had a true "Man-sized" windscreen on it like the Tri-Busa has.. you know, a windscreen where you could light a smoke and text your girlfriend up for a booty-call. A windscreen that would protect you from an oncoming Sharknado or s Funami of Karate Cops... a "Mans Windscreen" that would keep you looking real smooooth as you rolled..

 

[Gloomshadow]

Yeah.. "The Last Indian" I forgot about that one.. I wanted to see it when I saw the trailer but I forgot about it, thanks!

 

[djs2k2]

And how come when my wife rides on the back of my Buell there's a wet spot, but when she rode on the back of my Kawasaki it was dry. O wait that's why they vibrate so much.

 

[Gloomshadow]

pop a wheelie and she slides right off the back! ha

You're lucky. I watched them just because I knew they'd be bad. Fastest is great and I saw On any sunday years ago. I was at the long beach motorcycle show in December 2002 when they debuted "Faster". People were cheering and clapping whenever big names came up. It was such a great experience. One of my favorite documentaries.

If you ever get the chance, check out Ewan McGregor's motorcycle trips "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down". Amazing experiences.

So I pull into work and this is there today. It's a guy I work with and he just picked it up last night. Supa-Fly!
