Look, I put the poll up to see what people thought about the bike, obviously I wasent prepared for the harsh and yet true things about Buell. When I was younger I saw a Buell Thunderbolt in the window at my local HD dealer, I dident know the difference between kawasaki and chevy, but I did knew the bike was for me. When I told people about it at the time 1999, 2000 they told me Buells were "crazy" "they dont make sense", fast forward years later after a friends deadly motorcycle accident It prompted me to take my test and get my license, I started out on a Blast, I was hooked. Motorcycling is a freedom and privledge we all love, my attachement was through Buell. I felt American pride and the confidence to stand out at bike night. Buell riders take alot of shit, and when they closed the doors, I was devestated. Motorcycles are my life. Luckily I got my ZX14 at the same time, so I decided to move on from Buell and sell my Thunderbolt. I've spent thousands on the bike. All I have to say is I'm just glad I've got 2 wheels to carry me where ever, and as long as I've got that everything will be alright. Tpoppa if you want to know my family has alot tied up in the bike that I shouldent have to explain. Bottom line it belongs to me now. Also I've had the money to sell it, had cash in my hand, but couldent let it go so I never sold it. Anyone who is a real rider will know what a motorcyle means.
