I can't believe it's only a 9!

Hey Oldguy, we are talking the same language...Buells are definately built for fun.

I love my X1 but have deep lustful feelings for the XB12R

Re clipping car wing mirrors (and I'm not trying to stir this up) - look at it this way - if you were sitting there on your bike and a car passed you clipping your mirror how would your post read then?

Considering that it sounds like most of the car drivers shat their panties due to the noise, then you clipped their mirrors you left an on/off ramp of destruction.

I believe this is what they refer to as 'old school' riding

I do feel a desire to go and test ride one now though..........

I was reading the first post and thinking the same.......and we wonder why bikers get a bad name? Loud bike clipping mirrors, I struggle to see anyone being impressed with that. If it was a accident (which it would have been) why write it up like your proud of it?

Hey, shes probably hot and hangs out with the popular crowd so can get away with stuff like scaring the general public, lane splitting while hitting other cars, thrashing a loaner bike. If it was any of the less plebs on here then there would be raking of coals right about now.
At the end of the day it is just a story about some chick upsetting the general public on a harley. Same shit, different day.

Jeez the bike just brought out the hoon in me, I wasn't deliberately trying to hit any wing mirrors, the extra bits on the handlebars got me at first. Once I got onto the motorway I had a 'handle on it' so to speak and was more careful.

As for the bike being loud. Thats hardly a crime and certainly nothing to do with the way I was riding it. Thats just how the bike is.

As for being proud of it...for gods sake are you all so bloody holier than thou that you've never done anything remotely un-pc???

The bike was fun...end of story.

GO HARD GIRL!!

i ride bikes for a living,and Buells would have to be among the best handling and plain FUN machines out there.

I think Erik Buell has a wonderful philosophy,more power to him

Yup, I did hit one once on an SUV when I was new to my SV. I did however apologise to the driver.

Yes admittedly I've done that too, but you run into my bike when I'm in my own damn lane and then refuse to say sorry or even acknowledge me through your window then that's what you get...

Yup, no plans to go to the city where the cagers are happy to block the splitting lane... and now I'm not surprised that they do it to you guys.

How would you know... you clipped every one of them on the on ramp, so obviously you didn't stop to apologise or check for damage. Accidents happen but shit couldn't you have stopped after the first one? Or two? Or are you just embellishing your story to sound 'cool'?

**ajturbo** · 6th March 2009, 07:39

wow BB.. you have brought out all the do-gooders.. hahahahahaha...

do you know if the 9 had a specialised pipe?
I know you can get them and they can alter the sound of them significantly.
Another item on the 'pros' side of my list to why I want to get an XB - oh yes.

as for the rest ...
