Reply With QuoteWelcome. The folks on here are awesome and someone has an answer for just about any question you have. As far as the scratch on the left side of the tank, get frame pucks and make it disappear. :)
I'm 33 years old and bikes have always been in my family, but it is finally time for me to have one of my own. I've always loved the Buell, and I've come close to buying one in the past. Found one through Craigslist, and am just waiting for the title work to go through so that I can go pick it up - hopefully tomorrow, but next week at the latest.
It's a '05 SCG in red. It has about 18k miles on it and a few scratches, but for my first bike, that doesn't bother me a bit.
Although it doesn't add anything to the value of the bike, I had the owner send me the VIN, and it is build #21 for 2005. I like the low number, as it would be one of the first 12Scg's.
Anyway, on to the pics I have so far:

I've been looking on the forums for a while, and it will be great to be able to participate as an actual owner soon. I've been a passenger for as long as I can remember:

That's what I was thinking.
When I view the thread, I can't see the pics I posted - I just see a black box with an X in it. Do I need to change some setting for my profile to view pictures, or is that just because I don't have many posts?
Congrats and welcome to the fourm! Here is mine, same year and color. Got her with 16k a year ago.
Welcome to the forum!!!
Great bikes! Sorry can't see your pics, not showing.
Lotsa new guys on here; that's great!
Welcome! Whether you're new to riding, or just new to Buell, I'd strongly encourage you to budget for some rider training (beginner or advanced), & some good riding gear, if you haven't done so already.
Have a great season!
welcome to the forum, nice bike...

Thanks all. I am signing up for beginning riding classes for May 10-11, so I will have a few weeks to start getting helmet and gear together. I know there are a ton of options online, but I really want to go in person, try it all on, and make sure I get the stuff that fits me best. I've watched about a dozen videos on how to select the proper fitting helmet and so on.
Well the seller backed out on me right before I left to go get the bike.
I've made a deal to pick up a different one tomorrow morning, but I better not say what it is, in case I jinx myself again. Hopefully I will be back up here with good news.
