Some of the best comments received about your buell!!!

[raven]

the first time I rode my lightning to work,one of the managers who is at lest ten years younger than me comes over at lunch and says,hey old man that bike is to young for you.I looked him strait in the eye and said, your wife is to young for you and that does not stop you for going for a ride now and then does it.

 

[ArmyMP09]

Haha that's good raven.. I've not ridden my scg long enough for any good comments, only so kid and his mom taking pictures at a stop light and damn near hitting me a few miles down the road taking more pictures. I used the hawk to scare the hell out of them so that'd focus on driving and not me.

- How's that harley ride?
- Is that thing electric (bike was off fan was on)
- Is that a 250?

My wife and I were reviewing my latest photo-radar ticket picture[mad]when my 17 yr old son asked to see it. He actually said, "You look bad-ass on that thing"

That is an extreme compliment from a teenager to a middle-aged parent. I think I teared up a little

Today out riding around town and the highways i had to stop for gas, old man in his vette asked to race because he said "That bike is a rocket on two wheels, how mad fast is it". Feels pretty good to out accel a brand new vette!

[up][up] Love it man! Huge compliment. Not many kids say the words "bad ass" to describe anything about their parents. I Hope my kids look at me like that some day. [cool]

My bike is pretty much stock except for a race kit and some diy mods. I have been asked how long it took me to build it. He could not belive it was a production bike. [up]

I got my first compliment from a gate guard going onto post. They were laughing when i rolled up and as i flipped my visor open they told me "I love this bike, favorite one I see daily" felt pretty good, especially since I've even seen other buells around. which btw im upset none have shown up on this forum, i have seen around 8or 9 buells on Ft Hood.

"thats a sick looking bike" -stranger
"what make is it?" (airbox sez BUELL American Motorcycles on it)-stranger
"WOW!" -stranger
"man thats a insane sounding bike, I heard you before I saw you and I was like WTF is that?" -a buddy
"thats a sexy bike!" -another buddy

most responces are just people staring with their mouths agape...
I know as I used to be one of those people
there are roughly 1 million people on Vancouver Island with a handful of Buells running around on it, the town I live in (3000 peeps) has only one XB and its BamBam

Went to Wally World (AKA Walmart) last summer. Came out and saw some dude sitting on my 12r. Played it kool b/c there was a cpl bikes parked with mine. <In Ohio no helmet law> I said thats a nice bike, he said sure is, I asked what size it was, he said he didn't know, I was like you don't know? How can you ride a bike and not know what size engine it is? He said it isn't mine, I said oh who's is it? He said I don't know but I like it alot! I said ya it is a nice bike now get the fuck off my bike and go buy your! He hopped off fast as hell and ran into the store like his ass was on fire lol was funny as hell

 

[meetch]

firebolt020283 .... i love the accent bro!! made laugh...

 

[firebolt020283]

Thanks I thought it was funny when the guy started talking. Whats sad is I am from the south and have always lived in the south yet I still make fun of people with real strong accents.

 

[BuddhaBuell]

too funny firebolt
the wonderful thing aboot funny accents and the ignorance that can go along with it is the fact that you can find it all over the world....
we have some folks up here in BC that could have walked off the set of Deliverance...
gota go tune my banjo now

 

[buellsandbowties]

random guy at the highway patrol inspection station asked me is that brand new. no i said its a 03. he said bad ass bike and then said it looks like a dirt bike! not sure if he was complementing or insulting me! a week ago i rode my xb to a biker funeral where i know almost all the people there. when i pull up and take my full face helmet off and they all know me. the look of shock was priceless and they look at me like iam registered sex offender! i used to catch hell about my sporty even though it was faster than most of thier bikes. now i seem to be a outcast around bikers! and i love it!

I was at a local HD dealer, after ordering some new plastics I went out and fired up my XB9SX.
Then one of the sales guys leaves his "bagger customer" to tell me one of my headlights was out. No wonder, there's nothing like knowing your product.

I have gotten the Ducati question a few times.

 

[thunderstormgrowl]

From a few people, including my Dad

That thing is BAD ASS!

 

[bttrfngrz]

getting comments about your bike is fun. getting laid because of it is better. i get comments like my powdercoating

 

[bttrfngrz]

*that they like my powdercoating nothing beats getting a females opinion on my vtwin vs. her ex's 600

 

[BKKBuell]
