all in all, it was a good ride, alot of the roads were still a little damp, but for the most part it was a good ride, everyone stayed sunny side up and had no incidents

Some very nice V-Twin representation. :boobs:

hardly any of those guys are on CF. Maybe one or two. All of them are on the Meetup.com Nashville Sportbike Group. Should check it out. They have rides every Sat. and Sun.

What was the temp your way today?

highest temp i saw was 59 today

im in the meetup group your talking about

New to the forum here, Drewpy told me about it today.

Yea we had v-twin representation, i mean like is there anyting else anyway.

KTM950SM
Buell1125
SV650

I think that was it unless i am missing one.

i saw 61 degrees on the way home, but it felt cooler with the moisture still in air and the strong winds that were heading it late ride.

welcome thumper996, i had a good time, esp on the way home, i swear i felt like i was on a rollercoaster on some of the lil rollers hills, i think i actually got air borne :lol:

Good ride for sure, i backed it down the last 10 miles or so. Katoom was running good today.

I really like hitting the road before the damn early in the day. I didn't plan on leading any today, but Mike waived me on and i knew no cars had went by for a while so the road was clear.

:gofurslf:

your just jealous that i got a good day to go riding and ur stuck in shitty MI:boobs::rockwoot:

Oh no that would be a runner up to this pic

I second this motion.

Troof!

Holy Shit Drewpy...I never realized your front rotor are Regoddamndiculous looking.

Nice KTM, he beats you drewpy.

have you never seen a buell rotor at all? They all look like that.

Thnx Trip, he beat me in HP, but i can get him in the turns.

Damn v-twins are so much fun to ride

yeah but he rides a buell, so his hp benefit is canceled by the buell factor. :lol:

:idk: looks the same as mine...

looks the same as Markos too.

No shit it looks likes Marko's...And I havent exactly taken the time to bother looking at the front rotor of a Buell...It just stuck out in the one picture...

I realize they all use the same one I just didnt realize it was that big/thin

I would like to add the only thing I don't like about the buell is the front brakes, I am waiting on a set of pads that are supposed to fix it, but they are inconsistent and very prone to fading at a mildly brisk pace

I haven't had an issue, but I use engine braking a lot, even on the track. My instructor yelled at me :lol:
Good thing it's got a slipper clutch, cause I abused the shit out of it that day!

I love my slipper clutch!

Me too, but it doesn't "slip" much in 1st. :skep:

i tend to ride a gear higher on the buell and use the torque more then i did on the rc, so the engine braking isnt as noticeable on the buell

I downshift instead of braking :D

Gotta love hearing that drummer bark!

I'm still almost all stock so its sewing machine quite, I'm starting to enjoy it lol
That being said I'm looking at the barker exhaust when I get back from my cc trip.
Are you getting any pot marks on your front rotor?

yeah, there are some marks on the rotor, and a bit of surging. take a scrub pad to it and it's all better.
Which exhaust you looking at getting?

I ordered a set of lydell pads and they should take care of the surging and brake dust issue
I'm looking at a barker exhaust, looks more buell then the others in the price bracket below drummer, I really like the TH though

Wow, looks pretty good.
I had to google it as I had never heard of them before.
Would like to hear that one! Much better price than the drummer though!

The dyno he has up shows a 17 hp gain over stock but I'm guessing that's with a tune

IIRC the drummer was close to that with nothing more than a pipe.
Granted, at over twice the cost.

Agreed but we do at least have the bike show next weekend to look forward to.

But I'm not even going because it is always a disappointment.

Hey Will - It was good meeting & riding with you!
Also good to see you again, Eddie - really looking forward to tagging along with you in the woods sometime soon (just take it easy & don't laugh too much at me... :lol:)
I almost bailed when it looked overcast in the morning, but very glad we all got out & got in a good one. :yes:
Sucks you got all but cut out of this one, Drewpy:

I dig the new Buell, and it was obviously working real well for you - good form, BTW! And I though I had done some pretty good dealing on bikes - man, the rundown on your record so far made me jealous! :lol:

Here's my old RC I told you about - sweet bikes, even if not the most 'at home' on the street:

I don't like mine.

I miss the rawness of of the rc

Lyndall Gold +. But beware, they aren't good for the track.

Me too - such a 'visceral' sound & feel to it. :yes:
Especially with the SATO's - it was always fun to see Harley guys doing double-takes! :rockwoot:

My slipper Clutch kicks ass...It's saved me more than once on a damp brisk morning when the road was slippery.

Gobert's a tool. You need a new lid. :lol

My slipper clutch is my left and right hands working together.

Ya me too. Love the feel of it. I feather the clutch anyways, but it's nice to have the slipper.

Hater

For sure.

It's the only god given talent I have, the rest of them I had to work at. :idk:

:aide:

You're bike is cool though. Hows that for anti hate?

Dear Anti-:aide:

thank you,

Erik Buell

Fail.


It's EriK.

pwned.

It seriously took me a solid year to get used to the slipper clutch on my bike... I'm sure my rear tire appreciates the break.

Yup, without a doubt the absolute best $6,000 NIB liter class sport bike in the world!!!! j/k I really hope that you make the rally this year Drewpy! I can't wait to hit some of the roads this year! Last year my suspension and health woes really weighed on me, now I'm feeling frisky and ready to ride!!!

im horribly slow, i dont think anyone wants to get stuck behind me

Can't wait to get back out and actually ride with those guys...:lol: the one time I made it it rained.

Yea, I'm sure Drewpy can hardly wait for that either....Hahahahaha!

I'm calling BS on you being slow, of course fast or slow is a relative type thing. So in that case I must be molasses.

Just another reason why Buell is ghey.

Another reason why Buell is AWESOME and you are GHEY. And Drewpy is GHEY for owning the fucking bike and not knowing. Doofus.

Yep - definite BS. :yes: :lol:

Isn't the red bike on the right an old school GPZ?

Yes - an extremely clean one with heavy motor mods, running 14psi boost. He claims 175hp at the wheel, which struck me as optimistic - but no question it's very fast and pristine!

sick looking bike. One of my friends had one for a while, but it was nowhere near that nice. lol
