I'll take the free marketing. btw the new (unmounted) rear is a Conti Road Attack. There is still a little life left in the Dun-Flop Dis-Qualifier. If you don't want the Conti, I'll knock $140 off the price.

Wonderful. Another love/hate Buell thread:flingpoo: those never get old. We should all go hit the twisties, I just hope my rubber band can keep up. Seriously, anybody want to buy a 919?

it's worth watching again

Did anyone see the Daytona Sportbike race from Barber? Hacking pulled of the most incredible save I have ever seen. He basically crashed, stayed on the bike, and kept it moving...and finished on the podium. WOW!! scroll down: http://www.totalracingsolutions.com/racing/video/jamie-hacking-the-best-save-ever-video/

The Honda 919 does everything well. Stock they put out around 63 ft/lbs and 102 hp at the rear wheel. Insurance is cheap. Beyond that I'll save the sales pitch. ‘02 919 (CB900F) with under 11k miles. $4,250 --Clear title is in my posession (no leins). --Runs excellent --Looks excellent --Never been down or damaged --The motor and drive train are bone stock. --The color is factory flat black (Asphalt Black). --It has been EXTREMELY well maintained. --Comes with BRAND NEW Rear tire, K&N oil filter, & the original owner’s manual. Aftermarket parts: CRG Mirrors (stock mirrors included) Renthal Ultra-Low Handlebars (stock handlebars included) National Cycle F-16 Sport Screen Orbital Tank Protector Pro Grips --It can be easily returned to stock. I would consider a trade for a clean (never down) 04+ SV650 or SV650S. More pictures here: http://cid-a72fd56056e6ddd9.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public

MSRP 499.99-514.99 Like new, worn twice. $150 Cash. I just bought a motorcycle & the guy gave me this basically new Joe Rocket Racing Jacket. It's very nice, with good vents. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit me. It's a size 46. I still have the price tag (499.99). Pickup is preferred, but I will ship it at your expense. I am near Cleveland. JOE ROCKET CORONA RACING LEATHER JACKET US 46 1.2 to 1.4mm cowhide Variable Flow™ ventilation system Full Flex™ windproof sleeve panels Removable insulated vest liner Sure Fit™ adjustable waistband Reflective stripe 360 zipper for pant attachment

I'll bet it's far more rideable than most choppers, but I can't see a factory, Japanese chopper selling well. A least it's not a Rune.

For me it's just more pleaseant to ride witha full face helmet and ear plugs.

Atlanta should roll over tonight. They already look beaten. I don't see them wanting to come the Q for game 5.

Sounds like a stuck or 'sunk' float valve. That is a pretty easy/cheap fix. I would also double check the battery and spark to the bad cylinder.

Does anyone have have extended miles on them yet? I have been hearing that the front wears faster than the rear and is (front) prone to uneven wear. Has anyone experienced this?

Has anyone here tried Bridgestone BT-021 tires? I have ridden Metzeler Z6's and now Conti Road Attacks. Thinking about the BT-021's for my next set. I would like to hear how they handle and how long they last.

Pretty Much. Standing next to a bike is damn near as good as actually riding.

I need to get me some of that West Vagina

The XB mill is designed to vibrate at idle, when the rev's get over 3k the vibrations stop. Not for everyone, but I never thought it was an issue. I was waiting for the 1125 to be released. The design doesn't work for me. The pods are functional, but most seem to think they detract from the overall look of the bike. Why not form & function? Plenty of bikes have nicely integrated side mounted radiators...Superhawk, VFR, etc. It's not like it's a new idea. Now that HD owns MV, maybe Erik can access that wonderful Italian styling dept. This is a nicely styled photochop of the pods on an 1125R. If this was real it might be in my garage. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/452218.jpg

I thought the 2002+ VFRs had front preload adjustments & rear preload/rebound adjustments.

If his XB shook, the suspension was definetely set up wrong. I put over 30k on a XB9S & it was rock solid. Handling was excellent. The motor is subjective, but it never slowed me down. If they redisigned the radiotor 'pods' on the 1125CR, I would give it a 2nd look.

I've tried to like the 1125CR. I hear she's good in the sack, but she's a butterface. I'm looking at 3 VFR's and an XB12S at the moment.

It's going on Craigslist as soon as I find it's replacement. If you're interested shoot me a PM. Cosmetically & Mechanically it's 9+/10. It's ready for a new rear tire, which is already sitting in my garage.

Thanks Paul! I didn't know you had a trailer. As good as the 919 is...it's just not the right bike for me. I am either picking up a VFR800 or another Buell.

Does anybody have a motorcycle trailer that they would loan or rent for a day? I may be picking up another ride.

LEOs use the tools they have available, including the internet. Posting a time and route where a bunch of sportbikes may be exceeding the speed limit just seems like making their jobs too easy. If I was going to drive home from the bar after a few beers, I wouldn't post that either. It would take them about 3 minutes to do a sweep of a few forums. I think it's a matter of whether or not they are focusing on motorcycles at the present time.

For sure. That is the real meaning of Freedom of Religion.

That is your opinion. Personally, I have an issue with telling children what to believe. They should be afforded the right of making up their own minds. Present both sides to them so they are able to make their own decisions when they are old enough. Creation vs. Evolution is a perfect example (not trying to go off on that tangent). If a child asks which is true, how about in an UNBIASED manner... Some people believe in creation and here is why...A, B, C Some people believe in evolution and here is why...A, B, C

Maybe my post wasn't clear. In the military there IS pressure to be a part of Christian activities. If you try to fight something like that, your military career is likely finished. Legally, If someone joins the military and does not want to be part of Christian activities that is 100% their choice. You are not asked to forgo Freedom of Religion when you sign a military contract.
