I like the bike's power, but I don't like how far away it is. I guess that's just an inline thing and I'll have to get used to it. The only thing that really gets my goat is the flat spot in throttle response near 6-7 grand. It's not really a dip in torque/horsepower, but it acts more like a...

Eh.. I'd downshift without the clutch on my 748 with narey a single hiccup from the old gal. Of course, she was kind of fat and slow...

"Pin Loc"??

At freeway speeds I will turn my head from one side to the other. This allows the wind to push the rain off my visor. I can't imagine why RainX would hurt a visor, though. I'm going to give that a try, since I was on the interstate yesterday for a nice 200 mile ride in a statewide downpour. Blah....

I go "clutchless" on the upshifts and the downshifts. That's right... I'm a friggin' gear grinding maniac!! SRSLY... on teh back roads I rarely use the clutch.. up or down.

I always thought you became a police officer if you flunked out of the fire academy?

24,000+ miles on my Duc with not one single reliability issue. Hell, I just changed the factory belts 2 weeks ago. I wouldn't hesitate to take a Ducati, that I have serviced, across the country. Getting ready to do a 2,000 mile ride to and from Deals Gap next month. Did the same trek 3 years in...

One of my riding buddies has a S&S full leather suit. He had a little "oops" at Deals Gap and ended up in a ditch. Not that it was a really fast or fretful fall, but the leathers seem to have held up well. He says they are comfortable, inexpensive and he has no complaints about them. I can't...

Cool, but what's wrong with your camera? It takes sideways pics.... ??

You make an excellent point, Sir. I will take your advice into consideration.

Maps. Cable ties. Pistol. Cash. Monkey Butt Powder.

Well, I originally thought that you shouldn't leave the forum just because you're on a German bike, but then I saw your pics. I want you to leave.... I just can't take the internal coveteousness any longer.

Fixed that for ya'. :thumbup: Having owned a 2007 XB9R, and having put down thousands of miles on it, and having owned a couple inline sixes(FZ6, GSX-R600)... that Buell was still a better street bike than both of my Japanese inlines. If I hadn't been laid off for almost a year I'd still...

LoL... you guys don't disappoint. Spoken like a true elitist. Oh, and thanks for stereotyping me. Nice work. I thought all points of view are valid? Funny how that only works one way, huh? :thumbup: Who's mind is already made up, again? :rolleyes:

If it were my old lady, I'd rather she had a gun. Then, when I shot her, I'd be justified. :lol:

Thanks. I'm watching that one to see what comes of it. The lowest it'll be is $120, and change. If it stays that low I'll prolly jump on it. Anything has got to be better than the stock unit. :spank:

Mmmm.... Ohlins. :drool:

Better still.. a Chuck Norris smiley. :thumbup:

I haven't learned a lot during my 33 years on this rock, but there are a few things that are rock solid. One of them is... If someone tells you to choose between them and another person, you're usually better off choosing the other person. Chances are, your current significant other won't stop...

I don't follow your logic regarding the base jumper rescue team. Isn't time they spend sitting on their bums, not rescuing people, wasting "precious" time? After all, they are being paid to rescue people... not to sit next to the shiny whirlybird. Who decides what is worthy of regulation and...
