Hay Socalvet, I'm glad to hear your OK and you walked away. That's why I where my leather's!! So what tires were you pushing on bike? By the way, what make buell do you have, I might have met you befor up at the rock store.

Golden, yea thanks man.. my leg is 98% better now.
I am ridding a 2009 XB12Scg, was Red now its all Flat black. I am probably going to need a new front wheel since I actually took more damage than I thought. So I am considering dropping the hammer on some Sunset orange wheels!! That May look sick with the Flat Black combo.
As for Tires I run. Last set was Bridgestone BT003 and they performed great! Race tire for the street.
Current Tires: Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa, They were a little more expensive than the BT003 however I find that they have more grip and warm up much quicker then the BT003's Overall a more confidence inspiring tire. The Low-side was not due to new tires, but to my screw up..came in wayyy to hot for this corner and had nowhere to go but off the road haha! Gota Pay to Play!

Nice pics Socalvet![up][up] I can tell your a true Bueller! I did GMR today. Nice ride. I need to get full leather like you, or good pants to make a nice two peace. By the way I loved those BT003 on my Duc S4 916. I did not know if they were good for are xbs. Good to hear the are! I still have the stocks on my bike, boy do they suck! But if you had to pick one its sounds like I should run the Rosso. Thanks agin. By the way, those orange wheels are the sickest of them all , I want them too! So when will she be back together?[sad]

nice pics socalvet! impressive!

 

[SoCalVet]

Thanks guys! Yea I will never tear it up without leathers on for the simple fact that I like my skin and bones intact. However for just a cruise to the store or whatever jeans are in order! Definitely get some leather bottoms, will be the best money ever spent on safety gear. Ohh what size do you wear because I have a pair of Astars Track pants in Black that are 1 year old, no damage size USA-38 EU-54 they are too big on me since I lost weight.
Yea man those Rosso tires really stick!!
Here is one more pic from a fast downhill decreasing radius..kinda sketchy turn if you don't know it!

I nedd some knee draggin 101... I'm new

 

[golden1]

Your right I need them!!!! The frist time I touched peg on the buell I new I needed pants. Good thing for those long spikes on the pegs! I think thos pants are to big for me as well. I wear a 32 or 34 usa.

 

[SoCalVet]

Jason and Golden, You are welcome to ride with me every Saturday and some Sundays once I get my baby repaired!
I can give you a few pointers on knee draggin too.
Dang bro..Dragging peg is pretty low!! "how low can you go?" haha I have to say I have never touched peg. Get that butt off the seat lean less and carry more speed through the turn! Plus you will be able to get on the gas sooner with less agressive of and angle!

[jasoncummings64]

nice! thanks, im juststartin to get off the seat, would love to take u up on that, only have the leater jacket, better get some pants.. when will the bike be fixed?

 

[SoCalVet]

I should have her all fixed up in a week or two.. just waiting on some new parts.

 

[SoCalVet]

What I REALLY would like is to find some cheap bolt on crossroad bars!

 

[jasoncummings64]

i googled it, why do yuou wantem so bad? they just change your grip height? i mean i like the handlebar, i also like the lightening one, but i need to get the higher set, too much weight on my wrists

 

[SoCalVet]

I would like to get them to have my body in more of an attack position. Either the crossroads or I buy an 1125R haha!

 

[golden1]

Believe me, I diden't want or even try to drag the peg! It was be for I set up my suspension and I was going into a sharp right up at latigo there was a nice patch of dirt and I diden't want to cross the double yellow so I had no choice but to get her down there. I'm lucky I dident go down the way the bike was set up! Boy did it make my butt pucker when I felt the peg! Sounds like we need to hook up and ride. I ride Trials bikes and dirtbikes as well, what about you guys? Socalvet your right , get off the seat and lean less is alway the key. That's why I need pants.[up][up] I can tell you ride whats your number?

I made it to the Rockstore on the 12. I met up with Alan, he's the owner of American Sport bike. Along with 5 other Buller's. Get those Buells out on the road! Let's Roll!

 

[Alfatango1]
