Did a nice 90 mile rip up through the mountains of Central PA. I was sorta sloppy and pretty slow. Still getting used to this sucker.
Anyone ever read that Buells run wide if you're on the brakes while it's leaned over? Yeah, thats true. Stay off the brakes when cornering.

Wow, I know how I missed this thread, I honestly thought your wife had popped out a little one.
Congrats on the new bike! It's sharp. I like Buell's, but I prefer the Lightning. I'm a streetfighter kinda guy. BTW, I noticed we have another SMC rider on here, 6doublefive! Whats Up!

Buell's really do sound incredible. Is it stock exhaust or aftermarket?
