Why were you at court?

[Theycallmecrash]

So had court today, just to say not guilty. When i came out there was a white 03 firebolt 9, hadnt seen this one around at all, i wonder who it could be

 

[thrstrmech]

did you get caught doing wheelies all ok?

been thinking of making up business cards to place on Buells when spotted to give a heads up of BuellXB.com and user name, phone number on it for instances like you just had. finally met the guy that lives around the corner from me with the '03 bolt who I hadn't seen but once before, so flagged him down and spoke briefly.

 

[JOEL9]

Where in the hell are you[confused]. after all, this is an international forum

 

[Theycallmecrash]

'Merica, southen cali.

Nah no wheelies, for a speeding ticket couple months back and my red wind deflecter, the windshield $25 stupid fee, and plea was not guilty on the speeding.

 

[thrstrmech]

oh, yea the windscreen deal, judge didn't care to hear that it was stock factory installed equipment did he? either way that sucks

 

[Theycallmecrash]

Nope he was satisfied that i just removed it, made a smart comment "now you can go put it back on"

 

[konarider94]

wait what did he say when you told him it was factory equipment?

 

[Theycallmecrash]

Said doesnt matter, the reason is they dont want you me looking like a cop. Calling him stupid wouldnt have gone well. So oh well.

And yes its back on

 

[thrstrmech]

Californacation for ya according to the DMV...about motorcycle windshields, notice the part that states "translucent aftermarket material"...ahhh, Buell windscreen is stock OEM part and not safety glazing material

[Theycallmecrash]

Yeah i noted key word "aftermarket" thats when he tells me "we just dont want you looking like a cop"

 

[thrstrmech]

yea but I'd throw Federal Standard 205: Glazing Materials in his face, I'm reading through it right now, and do some more research as to the color bands and such it outlines...so far what I've gathered, if it meets the ANZI standards it's good to go, but let me get all the nuts and bolts about it before writing it in stone, so to speak.

 

[konarider94]

Email ebr and see what they say. I'm sure they understand the laws quite well.

I have not had much luck with emailing EBR. They seem less than interested in helping anyone who owns a bike outside the 1190. I was trying to purchase a couple parts from the EBR site and wanted to confirm I was buying the right thing. They absolutely would not make any recommendations, confirm the part, or help determine if it was the correct part because I told them I had an XB. After a pretty direct email back stating my displeasure, I was told they can't help with anything related to Buell. So I took my business elsewhere. Pissed me off!

Rant over, sorry for the thread jack!

 

[stensg]

Netty what address where you emailing cuz that doesn't sound like the EBR I've dealt with.

 

[netty2424]

It was [email protected]. I can't imagine that whoever is responsible for this email wouldn't think better than to refer me to someone else in ebr that would help me. I was pretty surprised and disappointed at the whole situation.

 

[stensg]

That sucks man there loss on that one.
