Well gents, I do believe I'm going in the opposite direction i originally intended.
I have a line on a reasonably priced HD XR1200x. Dude was an ol' Softail rider who bought it on a whim but now...

Many thanks, my friends. I have quite a decision ahead of me. The 'Zook 650F & the Ninja 650R are also calling...different machines, etc. I will consider all of above & report back.

Truth be...

Very cool discussion all--thanks! Hadn't thought of the "to its limits" argument. How does the thumper compare to the Vtwin in terms of feel & sound?

Well my body's better so I've been thinking about riding again.
Since my XB9 wreck around Labor Day, I have looked into other bikes but just don't have the loot. :-/

With that background, I have...

Sorry to hear about the loss, man. Mine was totaled in a wreck around Labor Day, so at least I know what happened to mine. Good luck with your search for a new bike! :)

It's good to hear that discussion of the SV is tolerated, even encouraged on our Buell site. I'm partial to Buell's too (hence considering a 'Bolt this time around) but there are more SV's out there...

Thanks TwoGuns & Oh9Bolt. Just the kind of feedback I was looking for.

I'd love to go with the 'Bolt, but the Zook has a lot going for it as well (not the least of which is parts/service are...

Hey all--

Well I'm healing up enough from my Labor Day weekend accident (see prior post) to start looking @ bike's again.

Unfortunately, my '09 XB9SX was totaled. I loved her--may she R.I.P.
...

Hey man--sorry to hear about your accident.

I didn't get off so light over Labor Day weekend -- & my bike didn't make it, either.

I'm really glad to hear you're Ok & I hope that knee heals up...

Well it was, Crawfo.

I wish we could ride together 'em together, brother. :-/

Hey everyone. Thanks so much for the well-wishes -- means a lot.


UPDATE:


I went to get the remains of my bike & it had already been picked up by the salvage yard, so I was able to strip...

I was until the crash. :(

Royal Oak. My XB9SX was rear-ended & wrecked Labor Day weekend. I'm still here though (mending). Between bikes right now, sadly. RIP, baby.
I (think) I posted a...

Thanks for the get well messages, everyone. Times heals but it's going to take a lot of it! :(

Everything in the back of the bike is wrecked, so I'm focusing on the front 1/2.

What's the...

Hey everyone--

Last weekend I was rear-ended while stopped at a red light by a sleeping cager. I was thrown from the bike & then run over by the car. I had on my helmet, gloves, & heavy denim.
...

Thanks guys.

Well I'm rocking the right-side scoop. Haven't wrapped the headers yet--we'll see. ;)

(Thanks for photos, GotToGo12!)

Dude I'm not sure you appreciate just how cool that quote was. :p

"It's not like I was, you know, out whoopin' it up all night with strippers & republicans!"
--Fin, out of context

...nice bike, Dub!

I think I may have to add a 'Bolt along side my City-X & Bandit in the stable....

SONOFA
:p


I think there's a ride/meet in Hell (Michigan) this Spring/Summer--anyone know about that one?

Maybe DECIBEL should make a showing.... :D

Many thanks for the most excellent replies & suggestions. I have read them all & will take heed.

And yes, I have been wearing pants. Jeans, to be exact. Or sport-leathers. But you all seem to...

Hahah! I love Chewy--rocks! Though I wish he chewed my name outta there. ;)
Congrats Duncan!

...so I'm grooving around on my City-X today in the D & I notice at every traffic stop (& in between, to be perfectly honest) that my inner-thigh hairs are being singed off (especially on the RIGHT...

...and low miles! Weird--came up as Southgate first time around. Thanks for geo-update, RTP. :)
If anyone's into red, that bike looks sweet--& not too far from the D, Chicago, or Indianapolis....

Enter me please!
You, NwRider, are a scholar & a gentleman.

:D
