St. Louis MO meet up and ride

[JRage]

needs to be a bigger line of buells i think

Shit i didnt know you guys were going to go through washington. Shoulda said so then went up 47 and i wouldve went home this weekend and showd you guys around all the twisty roads up there by warrenton. Darnit.

 

[JRage]

It was a spur of the moment decision

 

[d_adams]

I somehow ended up as lead, I know most of the area well enough to get around.

I grew up in Troy and ended up in Ofallon, so this was my normal riding area.

Hey Dean, did you happen to get any footage when you had the camera facing the rear?

 

[brightbuell]

Yea, we need to put a cam at the back of the group facing forward so we can see the bikes in action. Or one at the front of the group facing back so you can see the bikes. That would be the shit. Those vids were good to, i felt like i was on a roller coaster when i watched them on youtube. I had a little cam i should have brought. I forgot. Nothing as nice as your set up. I would have to duct tape it to my bike. Looking back we were pushing those bikes pretty fast as the day went on we went faster and faster. That was a really good EXP. [up]

 

[d_adams]

Double post, sry.

 

[d_adams]

Unfortunately I did not get any useful footage with the rear facing mount. Either the card was full (haven't checked it yet) or the battery gave up early. I got about 5 seconds and it shut off. I will try to get different angles next time if I can.

I thought the pace was fairly relaxed, guess I should slow down some for a reality check.

 

[JRage]

I'm getting a cam for next time also so we can have multiple views

 

[Kid1620]

I went to the back so I could get Some distance on everyone because I kept catching up lol.

Didnt want anyone to get over confident to try to follow what I was doing.

agreed. so when's the next one? [cool]

 

[stang65pony]

i'll bring my gopro next time too.

so of the locals around me, which of you is capable of tuning my 09? if i can get it tuned locally (and not by a shop that THINKS they can tune it) i'll probably keep the buell. at least keep it longer any how

 

[d_adams]

I have the cable if you need it. I also have a 10" netbook, although I'm loath to let it go very far from me. I'm sure something can be worked out. I also have tunerpro already loaded on it and it appears to work.

Have you done anything to it at all? Just the pipe so far with no tuning or has it been modded some?

 

[stang65pony]

So far it has breather re route
Pipe
Open air box
Ebr ecm


Thats it performance wise. I have a k & n waiting but its lean enough as is.

I have a laptop. We should meet up and curse at my bike together lol

 

[brightbuell]

You already have an EBR ECM? I wonder did you mess with the bike before you put the EBR ECM on it?

 

[stang65pony]

yeah i have the ebr ecm tuned for a jardine. never tried anything with the stock computer which i still have. just put the ecm in and did a tps reset.

 

[d_adams]

So exactly what's the problem with it? It looked like it had plenty of power for doing wheelies on Sunday.

 

[stang65pony]

i had it dyno'd last year or the year before idk. but it only makes 89hp at the wheel and is running almost TOO lean. i really just want to richen it up and i guess make it more reliable. the easier the better really. but most of the time it pulls pretty good but sometimes it acts like a dog

 

[d_adams]

What did it make in totally stock trim? What makes you say it's too lean? Got wideband O2's on it, front and rear?

Where was it dyno'd at?

 

[jefferyfriso]

So when are us St. Louis Buellers gonna get together and cruise?
