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.

Pauly, I absolutely disagree. The role of the U.S. Military is to defend America and American values. One of those values is freedom of religion. As a former U.S. Marine I can tell you there is definitely a Christian base to the U.S. Military. Every company has a chaplan. If someone joins the military and does not want to be part of Christian activities that is 100% their choice.

It all depends on how 'sporty' you are going to sport tour. 2-up touring is going to limit your options. Honda STs, FJRs, and BMWs are prolly your best choices but they are spendy. I know a couple that did some light touring on a modded 1st generation FZ1. I've done alot of sport touring. My preference is sport standards with a few addons. You have many more options with riding positions by changing bars than you do with clipons/helibars. I have done several 4 day 2,000+ mile trips on this:

On the first Easter, Jesus rose from the dead, moved the stone away from the tomb and walked outside... . . . . . . . . . . . . . he then saw his shadow, which of course meant 6 more week of winter. I may have missed some of the details

There are reasons artists don't usually make good businessmen

I happen to own and operate a profitable business and I'll say this: --Finding reasons not to accept peoples money are bad for business --Pricing models that aren't clear to customers are bad for business --The cost less now and cost more later model is not used very often. Airlines use it, and we all know how well they are doing. Kirk can run his business anyway he sees fit, however, buying pictures sight unseen seems counter intuituve to me. If it were me, I would bring a laptop to the track and let people see pictures that day.

There are some excellent twisty motorcycle roads in that part of WV. I've done a few 4 day 2,000+ mile trips through WV and VA. Have fun.

Not sure what your route is...but WV 33 from Harman, WV to Harrisonburg, VA is one of the finest, smoothest, twistiest motorcycle roads you will ever see. I have ridden from Cleveland to Harrisonburg in 1 day several times. Lots of cheap hotels and college bars in Harrisonburg.

I just bought a used rear shock from Manuel Cycle. The price was right and the guy I dealt with knew his stuff.
