Looking for XB12R in good shape - ready to buy

[vicenzajay]

Picked up the trailer today to load it up on Saturday. I'm replacing all the light bulbs in the trailer's housings for the guy loaning me the thing....he's really saving my bacon...

Where in VA are you located ? I have a 05 xb12r in Lexington. Very rarely see any other Buells on the road. Lol

 

[vicenzajay]

I'm in Christiansburg....not too far away from you at all...

My update is that the pick up is now going to be on Sunday - I'll actually ride the bike home from Statesville (NC) given the weather...

Any advice - I'm used to commuting for long periods of time, but this will be my first time around on a Firebolt - would love any wisdom. My wife is following in the car, and we'll plan on stopping after 50-60 miles or so (about 140 miles home).

Keep the weight off your wrists and you can easily make the 140 miles home without stopping. I doubt you'll have any issues. [up]

I'm in harrisonburg va. Go to leesburg fairfax on occasion to ride with buddy up there. If you wanna ride let me know, although I have yet to see a decent road in nova compared to me being surrounded by mountains.

 

[vicenzajay]

Agreed - the roads here in the mountains are not too shabby....don't know if I'd really be interested heading to nova to ride much

 

[independentrider]

Agreed on nova. Just saying I'm willing to ride a little to meet up with fellow vtwin guys. All inline 4s here in the valley.

 

[vicenzajay]

Cool - let me get used to the bike and a ride (or 2 or 3) together would be awesome....

 

[vicenzajay]

And it's in da house!

Rode it 140 miles home today - smooth as a top

Needs some TLC...pictures after I finish the detailing, etc.!
