Out. Won't make it.

Don't listen to them. Tits or GTFO.

I'm local. I live off 139 just into scioto county. Message me sometime if your out and about. Nice bike, I had one of those for awhile. They share a lot of top end engine parts with the same model year quads. I rebuilt an 06???? GZ250 using top end parts from a junked quad. Super comfy bikes. .

My attendance is pending assembly. I'll be cutting it close, but things are looking swell.

Killer bikes! Congrats!

You had me at "not an inline". Im going to guess it's red. Lol that counts right?

Hey guys, I was not asked to do this, nor was I asked to do anything to get involved. I'm doing this because it's for a genuine good guy that deserves the opportunity. I'm just as tired of seeing gofundme accounts as the next guy, but like I said, this is for a guy that actually deserves it. A personal friend of mine rides for Midwest based Bearracing. He is currently in the lead for the season's standings. But unfortunately through a turn of events, the racing team has insufficient funds to finish the final leg of the season. So if you can give anything to the cause it could go a long way for these guys. Big, small whatever, every little bit counts. It's crunch time for these guys. Let's get Bearracing back on the podium! Here is a link to their gofundme page. http://www.gofundme.com/bearracing12 Thanks guys. Ride safe.

yep. 180 for me! That explains it!

Hmm... I just ordered a set of s20 Evo's from them for $196, they were at my door the next day. Or do you mean the Q3's? I switched to s20's from q3's. I've went through a couple dozen sets in the last year or two. Time for me to move to something else. Life is too short to run the same tiree too long!

My lady just started riding a few months ago. She could use some female friends that ride. She doesn't have an account on here. Yet. Why dont you ladies have a facebook group yet or something?

I'll definitely be at the epic ride! I'm a bit behind schedule on repairs though, It was supposed to be done earlier this month but you know how these things go. I missed a track day at road america last week, was pretty bummed about that. Oh well she'll be done soon! That's priorities right there. Motorcycle>zombie lol

Thanks guys for the kind words guys. I think most of not all of my aggressive riding will be on the track now. The experience has kind of changed the way I think about things honestly. Parts aren't too bad to find, they're just expensive. I ended up making or modifying broken parts for just about everything I needed except some specialty parts. Bearings handlebars etc. Paul you truly do have a story telling talent. You should write a book. I'd buy the hell out of that. This actually happened at the 4 mile marker on US129. There are gouges in the turn, you cant miss it. I'm really not sure what happened to be honest. I've brainstormed on it multiple times. I had been through the same turn lots of times the same speed and the same form earlier that day, I must have hit some road debree or tensed my leg up in the apex. I had the bike leaned way over, my elbow was getting pretty close to the ground. Actually once I realized I was sliding, there was not any if much difference in the lean angle. I didn't even realize it was happening. My front tire had slipped on me once or twice the day before, nothing major just a bit of a shimmy. I chocked it up to damp spots from the rain earlier in the week but it very likely could have been a tire pressure or suspension setup issue. But looking back at my tire wear they look fantastic.

So this "what have you done for your bike" thread here got me thinking. Instead of blowing up that thread, I figured I'd make my own thread! Anyways, let's skip the bull**** and move right to the meat and mashed potatoes. Long story short, I lowsided the 1125 off the side of a mountain. Luckily (I still have no idea how), I emerged relatively unscathed and with very little damage to the bike considering. Through this I have been EXTREMELY impressed at the overall durability of the bike and the foresight and ingenuity of the engineering team that designed this motorcycle. The bike was not only designed to go fast and do it well, but it was also well engineered to wreck well. For the most part. lol. Came around a sub-90 degree right turn at a pretty good, but comfortable pace. The turn felt great, just like it had the 10/12 times I had gone through it earlier, but suddenly I was sliding. I'm still not sure what caused it. Hard contact on the right side, slid across the other lane just past the apex, luckily no oncoming traffic. I'm still on the bike at this time. Then we slid off the side of the road, over the shoulder and off the side of the mountain over the ravine. The drop off from the road was very steep; I could hardly climb up it. Myself (still on the bike) and the bike were now upright, swan diving off the side of the road straight into a fallen tree. The front tire hit head on and the bike flipped forward throwing me off and forward, I landed further down the hill and slid into a tree with the bike right behind me. Luckily I was not smashed. Eventually we both came to a rest about 20-30ft vertically down from the roadway. I'm honestly completely surprised I even survived let alone walked away with minor injuries. I was wearing full gear. Luckily. The next morning I threw the bike in the back of the truck (it's a lot easier to load up when it's fucked up lol), and drove home. HERE is a link to the main thread on the Buell forum. RIP 1125aaaarrrrrrrrrgh. She'll be back in time for the epic ride though! Just a bit different

WTB a visor, preferably clear but I'm not picky, for a Bell vortex/Star helmet, small shell size.

Thanks! I freaking love this car, insurance premiums are just too high for me with my driving record. It's about as clean as it gets for a car it's age.

Cant say 100% but If this is still available in a few weeks, maybe a month or so, I will take it. Just have to get a few financials in order and some other such things.

^^ this! Groups are split up into smaller groups and staggered. It's a very well planned out event. Last time I went I think med-fast ended with 3 people maybe?? Anyways, it's a great time and a fantastic opportunity to meet some really great people.

As of meow I am in for med-fast and I can sweep ????

Clarification, by bigger i meant taller lol. Thanks hellmut, I've been breaking her in. The power is good with this one. It will a great commuter. Ive needed something else to hooligan on for awhile. This fits the bill perfectly.

Cool! I would like to have a vfr or preferably a sprint for cross country touring. Neat little bikes. That sounds like a pretty awesome trip there man. Pics or it didn't happen!

Have this baby on craigslist and a few other places,figured I might as well make this available to you fine gents and ladies. I have for sale my super clean daily driver and autox/track car, 1999 Prelude SH. I'm looking for cash offers to cover some bills or a partial trade on a motorbike. I'm going to need at least $2k in on a trade though. Here is a link to the craigslist add: http://chillicothe.craigslist.org/cto/5138670305.html The car has a clean title and is ready to go.

Nice gitfiddles, bump for a fellow player

It actually sits about 6in higger than your firebolt does. 56in wheelbase if I remember correctly. 250+ dirty bikes are bugger than most people realize. Its only x>250lbs though.

The interesting thing about EBR is that it is technically 2 seperate entities. An engineering firm, and a performance motorcycle company.

I am very involved in the Buell boards, let me just say that there is a lot of false information and speculation being regurgitated around the internet. The auctiin isnt even until another 5 days or so and no decision about ANYTHING regarding EBR can be made until then. Until the auction actually happens, I would/will keep an open but level mind about all stpries popung up on the internet.
