"When I do see other Buells on the road I get all excited like a virgin seeing ****s for the first time you just can't stop starring."

I'm the same way. My wife actually told me she wished that I got as excited when I saw her as I do when I see a Buell.

glad to see you are doing well and the accident didn't stop you from riding like it has done with many survivors.
taking demons head on, that's how to roll! [up]

My friend on the other bike was fine he broke the bone under his armpit. He didnt even have to go to the hospital but he did to get checked out, and they found that break. He reported the accident to insurance, I didnt. His bike was totaled out, so he bought a new SV.

We just did a full GSXR suspension swap on it recently.

Old bike.

His new GSVR650!

 

[GAXB9R]

Surprisingly the bike wasn't as damaged as I had imagined. I'm glad to hear that you both recovered. Stay safe. I like the buell more![cool]

 

[oh9bolt]

Yeah I took most of the damage, the bike wasnt too bad.

I like the Buell better also, the sv is just a bike no soul.

I like the Buell more

Ha I was just going to say that.
Still cool that you and your friend got to rebuil your bikes back up together. Also smart to not claim with your insurance (if you have the extra funds)

I would take the Buell over an SV anyday also.

And on that same subject, I thought this was pretty funny.

Wow man! It's great that you recovered! And really great that they found the cancer by accident! I hear you about looks and comfort, after I hit a deer July 2010 I kinda took it easy... Glad you're alright!

Damn, that's crazy man, maybe a blessing in disguise by finding a tumor, awesome you could get back up and riding again. Where you at in VA? I bought my lightning from Groves. Saw the Sheetz sign in the one pic, I work for them as a technician , kinda looked like the Boyce/waterloo sheetz.

 

[oh9bolt]

Thanks! I live in Leesburg. That pic was taken at Sheetz on rt55 and rt15 in Haymarket. I have done alot of my part shopping at Groves they have helped me out alot. Do you live in VA?

 

[Maestro]

I live like 10 miles south of Winchester, and yea everytime Ive been up to Groves they have been pretty cool, they are Buell friendly, most of them at least.

I like the SV AND the Buell.

My girl is partial to SVs... just can't convince her they look good naked. But her bike, her choice.
