Just Razzin ya bro. If I hadn't gotten as much time off at my military schools I wouldn't have shit for miles either.

And truth, I'd love to meet Erik.
But the pics didn't work.

Was smitten with it when seeing it on the showroom floor. Also smitten with it when twisting the throttle.

Recorded a ride on a sweet county road using the helmet cam...

To an exotic lunchtime destination on the Buell - Streaming Video

Keeping with the current seasonal theme...


That path down the left on this county road is what I plow so I can get out.

How is the power delivery of the 984 cc lightning? With the short wheelbase does it have a tendency to wheelie? Is throttle response smooth, instant, or more abrupt?
