you lucky bugger..

Hopefully i'll have my Buell soon..
I'm just trying to decide how to tell my missus that i've kind of bought a 06 Ulysses.
Just need to arrange a time to pick it up.

I used text from the bike shop, worked a treat

**nallac** · 22nd September 2007, 21:57

I thought about just bringing it home, but i need a lift to the bike shop get it.

Shes already said no to me getting another bike "especially one that expensive".

Well its always better to do it,then take the consenquences...

Has worked so far for me..Might be pushing my luck now thou.

Any way They say silence is golden.
I will find out soon enough.

mate of mine has just got back from usa riding more than 9000 miles in 4 weeks - wisconsin, canada, alaska, california, mexico, back to wisconsin. 2-up with full hard luggage.

his race kitted xb12 ran at 90-100mph most the time when roads/cops let him. the bmw 1200 cruiser riding with him couldn't keep up for most of the part (max speed 92mph on gps).

only problem was a cracked cylinder in san diego. fixed in 1/2 a day with new bits bought over the counter. it actually started as a broken head bolt, and the bike shop broke the easy-out in it, cracking the cylinder in the process.
