After a second look, I just noticed the new headers! Me likey!!

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.

I never liked naked SV's till I saw my buddies old SV, it changed my mind about it. I prefer the look of his new bike though.

After a second look, I just noticed the new headers! Me likey!!

Thanks Bill Dance, Yeah I decided I wanted to change up the look, they still need more sanding after taking the wrap off.

Very clean oh9, looks awesome! Love the S tail on a bolt. It looks right at home.

Thanks Bill Dance

Bill Dance catches way more fish than I do!

At least you catch fish, when I go fishing I just want to break the pole and throw it as far as I can.

Very clean oh9, looks awesome! Love the S tail on a bolt. It looks right at home.

Thanks Red93stang! I try to keep it tasteful!

Hory Sheet 7 years ago!

A little over 7 years ago I bought a Buell that would introduce me to life long friends! People that I have met in person, and some we are just Internet pinpals lol.

Although the forum isn't as popular as what it used to be because of facebook, I cannot stop visiting the site multiple times a day mainly lurking.

Day of picking her up

Rolling Shot

Not a rolling shot

A bunch of shots

Post accident with the lift kit removed

In celebration of being alive and still being able to ride I took Eleanor out for a ride.

 

[Outlaw]

That was some rough stuff. Glad you and the bike are ok now.

 

[oh9bolt]

Yeah wasn't a good time for either of us, the Buell is back better than before now! I'm not better but I'm alive!

 

[oh9bolt]

A couple days out of the year have a special meaning, all of them are on the 21st. Today marks 10 years of ownership of my Buell, which has changed my life in many ways. I have met friends that I will have forever, met people that I have only talked with on the internets or through text (my wife thinks its fcuking weird)

I almost killed myself on this thing on the 21st of August in 2010, but ended up saving my life at the same time.

I lost my dad on this day in 2013, so I went out for a ride to celebrate being able to ride this POS and in memory of my dad. #remember

So many great memories made on this thing with people I met on the internet. #motorcyletinder

Some changes to Eleanor

Oh wow! What a saga! Thanks for putting that out there.

I recently converted my new to me 2004 XB-S to a CG. I still need to put the kickstand on it.

 

[Lusiphur]

Damn
I never knew about all this, although I've seen you posting here, IG and elsewhere.

Made me go back and think about when I got my Buell
I bought an XB9SX in 2004 and bought my current Buell XB12s in 2006
Can't believe it's been that long.
