Buells Rule

[98tls]

Glad to hear the Norton went to a good home.when a young fella my old lady did the runner so i was lucky enough to see an old 650SS restored in the lounge,every night the old man would sit around hand polishing cases etc,many years later a bloke turned up wanting to buy it,the old fella said "no,i dont ride it much anymore but its better off where it is"the guy persisted and turned out he wanted it for a collection up Auckland way so the old man sold it to him,hopefully it ended up there and is still primo.

Do Buells make in size Small?


Welcome to the site Wendy

[Big Dave]

I haven't had a haircut since then either.

We rode up to Wolembi Pub - I had that rented Honda ST1100. Rusty was staying out at Bob's mates place near there and we rode back together.

Pic was when we stopped for a leg stretch just off the New England Hwy out of Maitland.

Won't get on his case about the hat. Right equipment for the machine. Who wants to look at that mug anyway!

I agree. Something has been lost in the translation.

Plus the 1125 has side-boobs. I would be a looker without them. Eric doing his own thing again I guess.

lost... I find they are more like a Aprila or Duc, were as get on a tuber or fuel framer (XB) and its more like being a bad arse.

I duno whats with the side boobs, terable things... if Honda can have side mounted radiators on the VTR and VFR and have the bikes narower, why cant Buell.
IMHO its cos Buell take the air in the side rather than out the side fairing.

Because he can, dare to be different and own the corners, and the air space in front of our radiators ! Plus they look like they will bite you if you get in the way, that's why, they look ugly at first, a bit like dave C. but, you learn to love em !

It was the first time at the track the scrutineers could remember a bike with an "Interim" label on it, let alone a first time Sport bike owner and his first time on a track, no wonder they all offered advice and help after the first two sessions. Power slide out of a corner, rear wheel off the ground under brakes, front wheel off the ground heading down the straight 9,000 rpm with only just having 1,000 k's on the bike, big learning curve !

The beard is staying, it's still heaps quicker than the Electraglide.

Not too shabby on the tyre eh Bro, fully scruffed Bro, would you like a chup Bro to go with that fully scruffed tyre Bro, don't eat chups just Plunktun and insects at high speeds Bro ! (Trip typed this bit, eh Bro )

My name is Wendy and I live in Newcastle NSW.
I have just bought my third new Buell, an 1125CR in black.
My previous Buells were a 2003 XB9R Firebolt that I owned for 6 years and before that a 1999 model X1 Lightning I bought in 2000.
I am very, very old and have been riding for 36 years

You said you were old so that must be your daughter in the pics.

Just playing with ya, there were two CR's at the recent 'sound of thunder' race meet and they were in the top 5, the faster IIRC getting 1sts and or 2nd's against a XBRR from Oz.
