    Good News thread:

    He ever puts a powered mixer out, give me a shout! Need a small pa for my solo gig... Effects pedal for the acoustic would be handy too.
  3. Jardine RT-1 slip on exhaust for '03 Buell XB9S?
  4. Sign up for an Advanced Rider Course.
  5. Sorry man... But hey, let me know how the Nabi works out! I was real tempted to pull the trigger on that.
  6. I've seen posts asking about backpacks and waterproof options. I've not used these but I've looked at the reviews and such on the site. Might want to check Woot now if you're really interested in this. Look like some nice products. http://sport.woot.com/offers/your-choice-yukon-outfitters-dry-packs?ref=gh_sp_6_d_ph fyi...
  7. One post, May 29... Never seen him around New Albany and I think I'd notice a black and orange 1125...
  8. I heard a vibration rattle on his. Not the knock I hear on mine.
  9. Ok bubbies... Give a listen:

    Garage security

    The biggest deterrent to a criminal is the possibility that you have an alarm system. They'll go to someone who doesn't first. A yard sign and window stickers from a real alarm company (not the fake bullshit ones you buy on e-bay) are the best. And don't be conned by high pressure security sales pukes. If you're paying more than 25 a month, you're paying too much. Shop around. All that being said, you cannot stop a determined criminal. Thankfully, you and I don't have to worry about too many of those. We need to worry about opportunists who can spot an easy way to turn your shit into their cash. Don't let them see your shit.
  11. Set your trailer to the tune of "Lunatic Fringe" and I'd be all over it...
  12. Very cool... Thanks all. Looking to find someone to give a listen and get their opinion. Fourth of July weekend is a pretty busy time, so hard to get ahold of folks. I'm hoping that its just a noisy plant.
  13. I know a scooter chick that plays a mean skin flute. Seriously, good luck and congrats.
  14. So I picked up this 03 XB9S last December. I've done some routine maintenance and general cleanup and put a few hundred miles on it. I like it. A lot. But I'm concerned that maybe I didn't do a careful enough check out when I bought it. It seems to have a knock in the front end of the motor/trans somewhere. It had a pretty good rattle to it also, but I cleaned that up with a primary chain adjustment. Now I'm worried that I've got something more serious going on. Question. Where/to whom should I take the bike for a check out? There's a Buell mechanic at Northstar HD but the shop fees are pretty pricey. Suggestions?
  15. Wow, that would look really cool if they could make it flicker... Chain lightening all over the black tank cover on my Buell... Probably cost prohibitive.
  16. So, no excuse for the pickup coming over on you, but from the video it appears that you got annoyed because he was following too closely. So, to teach him a lesson you slow almost to a stop on the exit ramp. I'm sure that pissed him off pretty good. Then you hot dogged it, pulling the front wheel just to show him who's the really cool one on the highway. So, thanks. You succeeded in escalating a situation and portraying a negative image of a motorcyclist. Hope the next motorcyclist he encounters doesn't get run off the road because of your example.
  17. Excellent. At least you got out and rode today.
  18. Um, I think Calinazaret is a girl, otherwise Julie is a funny name for a guy...
  19. Hmm... the aesthetics are really "busy." Doesn't really look like a naked bike to me.
  20. All I can find on the Marysville website is "more details to come." :-/
  21. The Buell is coming off the table Saturday... Could be tempted for a shakedown cruise. :-)

    Sunday Funday ride

    Wow, that looks like a pretty sweet ride. Definitely going to keep that one in mind, thanks! I ended up doing about 200 miles on Saturday through Hocking and Vinton Counties but too much of my ride was down and back on 33...
