Blackbuell's new baby

[oldguy]

I was talking to Blackbuell the other day, he was telling me he was going to pick up his new girl, she happens to be American, I said when you do, bring her round I'd love to meet her.
He called in this afternoon, I fell in love with her soon as I laid eyes on her.
I even got a little play on her. haha

Cheers mike.

anyway here are some pics of her.

[Patch]

I like her "boots" :blip:

[Adulf]

Personally I think she looks hot from all angles. However I can understand people thinking it is more of a face for radio, but remember its the personality that counts!

[buellbabe]

Be interested in BB's comment.
The machines I tested at the release were all fine - didn't need it.
I have ridden one since that did.

Hey everyone, this just out from Buell;

"Buell Distribution Company, LLC has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on certain 2008 Buell 1125R model motorcycles built June 19, 2007 through May 30, 2008.

These model motorcycles built between the dates above can experience 5th gear galling on the clutch shaft due to lack of lubrication. This condition can allow the gear to seize to the shaft, resulting in rear wheel lock-up. This could result in an accident, which could cause injury or death to the rider.

We have voluntarily declared this a defect related to motor vehicle safety (Campaign 0834) to allow us to formally recall all affected motorcycles. The remedy of this issue is to add an oil jet to the clutch shaft to increase the lubrication to the 5th gear journal...

...In accordance with Federal regulations administrated by NHTSA, Buell Distribution Company, LLC will provide notice to all owners of record of affected products with direction to bring the vehicle in for the recall service."

I had received a call from the motor company a short while back regarding this, and it was conveyed that this happens "under extreme racing conditions only", however, Buell has decided to step up and correct the issue. Please, everyone be careful if you are using your 1125R for racing or a track day until this update is done!

I was assured that after thousands of hours of street testing, this issue never surfaced under normal riding conditions.

All affected owners should be getting a letter in the mail shortly to have the oil jet installed.

Chris

[dwnundabkr]

Nice pics Big Dave awesome

[Blackbuell]

Bike is still going well,have been to busy to put to many miles on it,have spoken to Road & Sport about the reflash they will let me know when it arrives,i dont think mine needs it but we will see,i have done 1 track day at Taupo on bike so when the parts arrive i will get the gear shaft done as well,dont want it locking up on back straight of Taupo.
BD i think anyone who does a few miles on these bikes will want one.
