random things

I am currently sitting in front of two computers, both opened up to buellxb.com, I'm sitting at work, and I drove down to my gas station last night to fill up before I finished adjusting my cam timing and when I pulled up I saw the last thing I expected... a yellow x1. the guy was walking out as I pulled up to the pump and I just kinda looked at it because I couldn't believe it was actually another Buell. so he takes off and sure enough the tank says "Buell American Motorcycles" on it. so I listened to where it was going and once I was done filling up I took off in the direction he went. well I went out of town about a mile on a gravel road and flew past a house and got to a main road, I turned off my bike and couldn't hear it anymore so I turned back. about 300yds down the road at that same house the guy had started walking out to the road to get his mail and I noticed it was the same guy on the x1 so I turned around again and turned off my bike as I rolled up to him. then we talked about motorcycles for at least an hour. I knew I had seen this bike before but I never knew it was less than a mile from my house.

Im not so unique anymore, in my small city(Maybe 150,000) there are at least 10 Xb's, including one Tuber Buell I dont know the model. No white and blue 'Bolts tho, so yayyyy!

Back home in PA I saw two 12Rs, a 12S, and ran into a guy on a yellow 9R at the gas station on my way to work. BS'd for a bit and was supposed to meet up with a group at a bike night, but work and getting into accident it never worked out.

Here in Hawaii there's a guy in my neighborhood with a yellow Firebolt, bit everytime I see him I'm in the car or on the way to an appt.

Kinda funny how you never notice any Buells, and then when you buy one they seem to be everywhere.

Havent seen any Buell's other than mine in the Quinlan, Tx area. I know of a few in the surounding areas, but we are talking 25+ miles away

^^^Hey....your windshield has a windshield!?^^^

 

[freak2180]

Yah........whats the deal with that extra lil sheild?

And how far did you slip those forks.........WOW !!

 

[wolfo68]

it's a saeng wing, I bought my red screen with it on it and it helps redirect the wind if I don't feel like bending over as far

I think I slipped the forks down an extra 2 inches
still not sure if I like it, the fender is so close that if I hit a big bump it will hit the bottom triples

Interesting. I saw that windshield thing in another one of your pictures somewhere else and was wondering what it did. Not great on the eyes, but I am sure it makes the ride a LOT more comfortable!

 

[wolfo68]

way more comfortable and it definitely makes mine unique

So wait.. does itto redirect the wind to your chest or do you adjust it and have it like a touring wind shield?

 

[wolfo68]

adjust like a touring windshield, I actually just took the shield off and left the nubs, now it looks like she has horns
