DENVER

[303xb]

Any Buellers in/around Denver? I'm laid up at the moment, but would like to put together a ride in early May...

[Urban_Assault]

I'm down in the Springs. Bike's torn apart for now, but if I have it back together by then I'll joint you.

-Tim

[Macbuell]

:( I moved away last fall. I miss the riding out there.

[tseldon]

i wish i still lived in denver!

[randy4p]

Yes. I'm in Thornton by 128th and Holly. I would totally be up for a ride with other Buellers. Hit me up when you are ready. Anyone else nearby feel free to do the same.

[BuellCrazy]

yeah that would be cool i live in longmont. let me know when.

[JJsXB9Sx]

Just purchased 09 XB9SX. 1st Buell but long time fan. Out in Aurora, Bike is shipping in next week. The only Buell I've seen in Denver is around Cherry Creek area Hero Blue XB... You on the forum?

[Glade21]

Im in fort collins, but would deffinatley make it up there.

[Fortysix and 2]

I don't own one quite yet, but will very soon. Count me in. I'm in the Springs.

[xxspudxx]

Looking to move there next year!

[agfish18]

I am down in Albuquerque, NM ...6-8 hour ride... depending on stops...

[ghshafer]

I'm in Thornton, 136th & Holly (pracitcally your neighbor randy4p). Just picked up an 09 XB12Ss a month ago, and would be up for a ride any time.

[xxspudxx]

Any pix of the Buells on the mountain roads?

[ghshafer]

I was actually on my way to Boulder to go up Left Hand Canyon road (extremely popular very twisty ride) when the 4 Mile fire broke out and they closed the road. I will try to get some altitude this weekend and get some pix while I'm at it.

[BuellCrazy]

Here are a few, i live 10 minutes from the mountains and don't have many pics lol

[milehigh]

I am in Greeley. I'd be down for a Buell ride.

[2ovals]

Need to get new tires when I get back (visiting the kids in east TX right now) but depending on when this comes together count me in........I'm currently in Kimball, NE till about March/April.

BTW where is a good place to get my tires switched out?

[twallace1]

As far as Dunlop tires go, no place that I know of beats Grand Prix Motorsports in Littleton, a stone's throw from Rocky Mountain HD. 1/2 price on all Dunlops, they mount and balance and do it while you wait. Best to call ahead and make sure they have the tire in stock. They keep a good selection and their warehouse is one day away.

[folmar19]

im stationed at ft carson would love to ride with other buell owners

[Jesse T]

Front range peeps :D I wanted to bump this and see about getting together to do a summer run, maybe a half day ride or so around the Hwy 285 area???

We could meet in the Springs, take a ride to Woodland Park, then North towards 285. I know a great lunch spot along the way. Denver/North CO riders could then head home on 285 into Denver making a round trip for them. The rest of the Springs/Pueblo riders will get to hit the fun twisties again on the way back!

Let me know if this is something you wanna do
[up][down]

[dmp0001]

I would be in if the schedule fits[up]

[Jesse T]

Awesome, where are you located?

[dmp0001]

Pueblo, but I will meet in springs

[Jesse T]

Good to hear! I'm not sure how many locals look at this section so hopefully if we keep it at the top we'll get more lookers :D

[kwpollard]

Denver 08 XB12scg here interested in a ride. New to Buells and new to the group.

[Jesse T]

Awesome, thats 2 riders :D Were getting there...haha

[xxspudxx]

Ill be there within a year. :D

[agfish18]

You guys should come to the SW Buell rally in Durango... might be a little drive for you, but it is for me too. I'm coming from Albuquerque.

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/642389.html?1312393096

[Jesse T]

I posted on Badweb asking Ghostrider for some more info on that...I'm planning on coming :) Only thing I need to do first is get rid of my 'Low' seat. There is no way I can ride that far with this seat now [mad]

Still though I wanna try and get a nice half day ride in for some Front Range locals!

[dmp0001]

I wanted to go to that but I have drill that weekend. plus Durango is like 4 hours away to begin with. I can't see riding 4 hours to the starting point of the ride.

[agfish18]

It is an over night stay. I am riding about 4 hours to Durango from here. Riding up Friday (two-up on an 1125R btw), check out the sights a bit, check into the hotel, have a nice dinner, then hit the rack. Saturday is the ride, about a half day-depending on sight seeing, then a group dinner back in Durango, sleep again, then head home.

there are people looking to room with someone so you can get a room for like 43/ night which is cheap as hell for a resort.

[kwpollard]

Anyone up for a short ride up through the mountains Sunday Aug. 21st? Start in Denver and see where the wind blows us?

[xxspudxx]

SO jealous. Cant wait to move.

Im counting the days, and so is my bike. Please take some pictures of where you stop at in the mountains.

[dmp0001]

I liked the idea to meet in springs better...

[Jesse T]

Anyone up for a short ride up through the mountains Sunday Aug. 21st? Start in Denver and see where the wind blows us?

I'm up for a meet, I was hoping to have more than 3 of us on board by now [confused] Anywho, looks like your from Denver, dmp is from Pueblo, and me, just west of the Springs...Kinda spread out ya think? :D

That is the weekend of the Durango thing, so we might have a better meet if we wait a weekend or so after. I really wanna go to the Durango ride, but chances are I won't make the trip. Regardless, I would still go that day if it works for dmp as well...

[kwpollard]

Yea, looks like everyone is all over the state. I am up for a ride anytime though!

[dmp0001]

I have to check on the date (its my brothers birthday). I'll let you know

[dmp0001]

Aug 21 wont work for me. can anyone do Sat the 20th?

[Jesse T]

I think I could do that! I took a ride today after work past deckers...Woohoo that was fun. I got my new (used) Select gel seat today from a trade I did on here. It felt great, my legs weren't cramping up and the tail end didn't get sore :D The corners were feeling REALLY good!

[Jesse T]

Oh and on the way back I saw a red 1125R headed towards Deckers...Wondering if he is on here???

[dmp0001]

bump, ride on AUG 20th. any takers

[TorqueMonster]

I'm in the springs and would love to take a ride. Try and give me a weeks notice if you can.

[dmp0001]

torquemonster, welcome. can you make the 20th? post up some info on yourself and your ride when you get a chance and update your profile. click on my name by my post for a decent example.

[Jesse T]

Sweet another rider! We're up to 4 now :D

TorqueMonster, I'm in Woodland, what do you ride?

[dmp0001]

ok, so my life is hectic! I just got told the birthday will be on sat, not sunday[mad] So is everyone still good for sunday the 21st? Sorry to do this.

[sledhead007]

this post made me very sad, i was born and raised in c springs grew up with dirt bikes snomobiles. i just moved to texas and got an 09 buell xb12r and just visited co and wanted nothing but to take my bike up 470 or 24. ill be moving back soon cuz i miss that state like crazy. i say we all go for a ride!!

[TorqueMonster]

JesseT,
I have an 03 XB9R I just bought about 2 weeks ago. I am coming from a 92 Yamaha Seca II 600cc which was my first motorcycle that I bought in 2005. My Yamaha was a great motorcycle but there is no argument that this XB9R is 100 percent better. So much more power/torque. I have been looking at Buell Motorcycle since 07 when I went to go check out the new 1125R. I was in love ever since that day. I have been looking for a great deal on one for about a year and finally found a killer deal on this one.

[TorqueMonster]

dmp001,
Hey thanks for the advice. I posted up some info and I'll post a pic as soon as I take one.

[TorqueMonster]

I too have a birthday party on Sat. the 20th. I think I could do a ride on the 21st but let me check with the wife and see if she has made plans I don't know about yet. Lol!

[Jesse T]

TM, thats sweet about the bike glad you found one.

I'm good with the 21st, hopefully we can get KW from Denver in as well...

Sledhead-you moved to Texas? Trader :p Oh man I couldn't imagine riding that bike in that heat. You definetly need to make it back to the mountains...

[kwpollard]

I am still good for a ride on the 21st.[up]

I may have a non Buell rider who may want to join us. He will be on a Triumph.

Any ideas on where or what time we want to meet?

[Jesse T]

Oh no, no non-Buells allowed :D Would the Springs work for everyone as a meeting point? I was thinking as far as a route (one of my favorites) would be to go to Woodland, past Deckers, over to 285 and head west past Bailey to the Coney Island place for lunch. One way from the Springs is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. If that is too long there is another place in Pine called Zoka's that has great food. That would shave about 30-40 minutes off the route to the Coney Island place. KW could take 285 back in to Denver and the rest of us would head back to the springs via the twisties...

I'm certainly open for other routes so let me know!!!

[dmp0001]

meet somewhere by cimmeron and I-25? I tried to do a mountain ride today[mad] 115 was construction and 25mph all the the twisty part and as soon as I got to the base of the mountain it started to rain. but at least I got some ride time in

[TorqueMonster]

I am good for the 21st. Would anyone like to do an afternoon ride? We could meet in the parking lot of Rudy's Barbeque at 1:00pm. Rudy's is located on cimmeron / highway 24 headed toward woodland park.

I also could have a non-buell rider that might want to come.

[kwpollard]

My vote is for Rudy's![up][up]

[Jesse T]

Thats fine for me, hopefully the weather will be ok with a late start...

[TorqueMonster]

The weather is calling for scattered showers on sunday but I don't mind the rain as long as everyone else is cool with it. Who knows maybe we won't get rained on but it is always a chance.

Are we offically set for sunday 1:00pm at Rudy's? If people want to get there earlier and eat lunch there thats cool then we all could just meet in the parking lot at 1:00.

[dmp0001]

I'll be there!

[kwpollard]

I will be there a little early for some good grub!

[Jesse T]

same here :D

[dmp0001]

I'm always up for some food!

[Jesse T]

Great ride guys [up] I had a blast! Thanks for the long trips down KW and DMP :D

Can't wait to go again!!!

[dmp0001]

It was great! here is a link to the dual headlights.

[kwpollard]

Awesome roads! I had a great time and look forward to the next ride!

[Jesse T]

It was great! here is a link to the dual headlights.

dual headlight mod

Yep! I screwed that up [down] Haha, I swear its the "oh its easy" mods that I mess up. I bent up my connector trying to get the wires pushed out, gave up temporarily, and now my lights flicker cause of a bad connection [mad] Guess I need a new connector now...

[xxspudxx]

No pictures?

[Jesse T]

I can post some up later.

[dmp0001]

one of the ride

[dhwest]

Hey I am in Denver and need help with a TPS reset? Anyone like free Beer?

[dmp0001]

Hey I am in Denver and need help with a TPS reset?

if I knew how to work all that ecmspy stuff I would help, but I have no idea. sorry

[Jesse T]

So what are you guys up to over the long weekend?

We need to try at least one more meet before the snow fly's...

[dmp0001]

not sure, I might be able to get away for a bit. Did you ever get your lights fixed?

[Jesse T]

Well I got the connector from a guy over on BadWeb. I haven't put it on yet but I do have my high beams on still. I need to get a crimped first.

[Jesse T]

Hey guys, so next weekend the 17th or 18th I will be family free and I was hoping to plan another ride to take advantage of some free time.

Anyone interested? Ideas?

[Jesse T]

Nobody??? [confused]

[dmp0001]

Sorry, I've been out of town. I'll let you know.

[Jesse T]

Cool, I haven't seen anyone else on here lately, so I guess we are back to a dry spell...

[Jesse T]

DMP- Pm'd you!

For anyome else interested I am taking a ride tomorrow, the 17th. Going to head from Canon City west on HWY 50. Let me know if you wanna go! Also my email is majesticjtm@yahoo.com

[dmp0001]

Sorry I couldn't make it. Life is hectic. I've only put like 10 miles on the bike this month.[mad]

[TorqueMonster]

Oh sorry I haven't been on in a while so I didn't catch the ride in time. I'll try and check on here more often.

[Jesse T]

Hey guys, gauging interest on a ride this coming weekend...Let me know! We are running out of good weather and clean roads [down]

[Jesse T]

Wondering if that was you Torque Monster today riding up towards Woodland? Me and the g/f were riding towards the Springs. If it wasn't you I need to find these local Buellers, I saw two of them in just a few minute stretch.

[TorqueMonster]

Jesse,
Yes, that was me and I saw you also. My brother in law wanted to take a ride last min otherwise I would have said something to you guys. We rode to victor and then to cripple creek. Good Ride! I also saw you and another Firebolt that day. It was red and hopefully he can group up with us on the next ride we do. Talk to you later - Paul

Cool, yeah I thought it was you [up] We took a ride to Canon and back, it was ok, I'm not a huge fan of 115. So many wrecks on that road...oh and I got pulled over by a State trooper on the way back to the Springs [mad]

[vgubarev]

Riding this sunday the 15th. Maybe up to Sedalia on 105 form Monument? And some in west colo springs. Happy to meet new people to ride with!

[Jesse T]

Wow! Thanks for dusting the cob webs off this thread [up]

I'm in Woodland Park and some of the other guys in this thread are around Denver, Pueblo and the Springs...kinda spread out!

I'm down to meet up most weekends just post in here and hopefully we'll get some more guys meetin up!

Gotta try my new GoPro out :D

[Jesse T]

Long winter bump [down] [mad] [down]

So where are the CO peeps? Lets get chatting fellas ( and gals ;) ) and make some plans for rides this summer!!!

DMP sold his Buell

[sad] so not sure if he'll be around...anyone else? Colorado Springs / Pueblo area?

[Urban_Assault]

Slowly getting the parts to put mine back together. Give me a couple weeks and I'll be able to join you.

-Tim

[Jesse T]

Awesome! I see you are in the Springs, how long have you lived there? You own your own business?

[Urban_Assault]

Yeah, been here off-and-on since '04, but planning to stick around for a while this time.

I work for a company based in Reno and DC, but I'm the only one here in Colorado. My closest boss is over 1000 miles away, and pretty much lets me do what I want, as long as it benefits the company.

It's almost like owning my own business, but I get better pay, better benefits, and better job security.

I'm a pretty lucky bastard, at least for now.

[Jesse T]

Yeah sounds like a good gig for sure! Well I'm hoping if we keep this towards the top more guys will chime in so we can get a little riding group goin.

I'm getting married this summer and we have a baby boy so I'm hoping it's not too crazy and that I can get some good rides in [up] I hopt this summer just drags on and on :D

[TorqueMonster]

Jesse,
Hey man I think I may have seen you riding on Powers Blvd. today in Co springs. Was that you? I was on my white Firebolt with red gear on. I will try and check on here often in case you guys are putting together a ride. Weekends are always the best for me as well. I always have a lot going on with the kids and such, but I'll do my best to ride.
Congrats on getting married. This July my wife and I have been married for 7 years. We have been together for over 10 years and I really enjoy being married. Some people complain about being married but I have always enjoyed it. I hope you have a great wedding.
I can't believe DMP sold his bike!

[Jesse T]

Yeah that was sad news [sad]

No man that wasn't me, I haven't ridden down to the Springs yet this year but OMG I'm loving these warm temps were having. Glad you're still around and yeah keep in touch so we can get some rides planned. I'm hoping to meet more Buellers this summer!

[kevinc6639]

I'm in the Springs with a 06 XB9R. I would love to ride, let me know when and where. The only problem I'm having is getting my ECMspy to work. Anyone use this before? It's not connecting to the ECM. Thanks for any help.

Safe ride.

[dmp0001]

my new car is faster than the buell!! Not around corners though. Now that the weather is getting nicer I am starting to miss it. I will probably go with a cruiser this time though. I am considering either a harley rocker c or a victory jackpot...

[Urban_Assault]

Kevin -

I'm in the Springs, might be able to help you with ECMSpy. Shoot me a PM if you want

Almost got the Scg back together, should have the rest of the parts this week. Lost my keys over the winter, so had to order a new set. Hoping they come in before next weekend!

-Tim

[turbospartan]

Hoping it's ok for me to post this in here, but I live in Denver and I wanted to put a feeler out for you Buell guys in case you come across any XB12S models.

There were a couple on CL, but now they're gone. Can't seem to find any in any dealerships in the Denver metro area.

If someone does know of one for sale, please PM or email me spetersen84 @ gmail.

Thanks.

[Jesse T]

I'll keep an eye out!

So Kevin & Tim, did you guys get everything back together and running? [up]

I'd like to plan a ride soon!

[ANIMOSITY]

Dam when I still lived in the springs and had my bought my S1 brand new, there wasn't anyone to ride with (other Buellers) Now that The army made me move, seems like there are lots of you out there now Cant wait to move back!

[sledhead007]

So I posted on here awhile back about missin co and stuff, looks like I'm now moving back!!! Can't wait to ride up i24 and all the good roads around town!

[Jesse T]

That's great news! Hit me up when you are ready to ride [up]

As you can see it's kinda slow in here...
:(

[Jesse T]

Took a great ride yesterday! Nice back roads and ended up at Red Rocks in Morrison.

http://i50.tinypic.com/350a0lv.jpg

http://i47.tinypic.com/30ndudi.jpg

Got some gopro vids too! I'll post some up in the gopro thread.

[LightningLevi]

I'm in Lakewood kinda around Hampden and Wads. If you put together a ride, let me know. I see Buells around quite a bit, but I never get the chance to talk to anyone with one.

[Jesse T]

Sounds good! [up] Just keep an eye out for this thread and hopefully we can get something goin.

[970geek]

Any one in northern colorado? I need some help with ecmspy. Lovin this warm weather we've been havin. But my xb9s is running lean, and getting hot to quick.:(http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/13304_20120428080506_L.jpg

[06xbss]

Just came across this thread...

I live along peak2peak hwy and just got my bike back on the road a couple of weeks ago. Already racked up 9xx miles :D

I'm out wandering the twistys along the front range whenever I can. Would love to meet up with some fellow buellers for a ride.

[Jesse T]

Sweet! [up] Glad to have you onboard...

I'm hoping to get everyone a chance to meet up soon, maybe June?

@ 970Geek, sorry you are having troubles. I'm not sure who can help...not too many people from CO on here right now :(

[TorqueMonster]

Nice pics Jesse. If you want to do a ride in the beginning to mid June I should be able to attend. Towards the end of June I'll be on vacation.

[06xbss]

How does the first weekend in June sound ???

Anyone have any preferences on where we ride ???

I don't really consider anything less then 100-150 miles of twistys an decent ride.

Meet in the middle, Denver area ???

970Geek : any luck with your "running lean" issue ??
wish i could help, but I've never messed with ecmspy.

[Jesse T]

I think that would work for me!

Location wise I'd say it kinda depends on who is in to ride...

Myself and any Springs people can take the back way up to HWY 285. I'd say if we could meet somewhere on 285 that'd be great. That way we are not going back down into actual Denver to meet. Then from 285 we could take a nice curvy route somewhere. I haven't explored too much up around that area so s/o might chime in with a route north of 285 or maybe west of there.


I'd also invite some of my non-buell friends that ride street just to have a few more guys come along. Probably at least 2 I can think of, an RC51 and Duc 1098.

Perhaps an early meet for the Springs guys, 8 o'clock or so and that would put us at 285 around 10:30.

Opinions???

[06xbss]

I can look into coming up with a route. Between three bikes I've ridden appox. 50,000 miles of twistys along the front range and western slope.

Looking for just a nice scenic route with a few play areas ??

Depending on who wants to join in, what about meeting at hwy 85 and C470, southwestern edge of Denver. I know a couple of good roads that start near there.

FYI: I ride at a relaxed pace. I'll play a little, but through areas with high residential or tourist traffic I keep my speed respectful.(Keeps me out of trouble with the cops:D )

[Jesse T]

Where do you live? I only ask cause I think we are all pretty spread out.

I guess if we keep bumping this we'll see who is all in....

[RADOBUELL1414]

Hey guys i don't get on here much but i live in Colorado Springs and would be down to meet and ride with you guys Name is Dissan drive a 09 XB12SS.

[06xbss]

I live about an hour west of denver.(if your in a car)

that is the reason why i sugested the meeting area i did. it's about an hour from my place, about an hour from the Springs(I-25/hwy85) and about an hour from Fort collins.

I am down to meet where ever though.....

[TorqueMonster]

I'll check into the first weekend in June and I'll let everyone know. 150 miles sounds good. That is about my max anyway cause my butt is usually killing me by the 150th mile. LOL! Sometimes I forget to check on here so if you guys need an answer from me quick then send me an email at itsabouthorsepwr@yahoo.com

[TorqueMonster]

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/11078_20120521164225_L.jpg

Should have been riding instead of working the other day. Allot of nice days coming up.

[06xbss]

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/10965_20120522005811_L.jpg



TorqueMonster: 150 miles is just geting started :D
you need different bars and a better seat

[Jesse T]

RadoBuell thanks for jumping in!




I live about an hour west of denver.(if your in a car)


So are you coming down off I-70? Post up a route from that meeting spot and see if it works for everyone. I can meet the Springs guys and ride up that way with them. Otherwise we can take the back way and meet you in the mountains and then take a route from there...maybe in between I-70 and HWY285?

[06xbss]

I live about 20 miles north of I-70, don't ride the major hwys much.(two lane twistys are more fun:D) I'm really open as far as the meeting spot. For the route I am thinking of, we can meet up with the Springs guys at Sedalia.

Route is a little longer then I remembered, but with a lunch stop, easy enough for anyone to do without getting to saddle sore.

http://mapq.st/Ml6PEG

main reason i was thinking this route is just because I don't want you Springs guys to have all the fun running from Deckers to 285. [cool]

let me know what you guys think, I know an easy dozen different routes within the same area. with all the canyons in this area, the route can be changed on the fly without any trouble.

[Jesse T]

I think the only problem with that route is step #4 before Deckers, it says portions unpaved. I think I've been down that way from the Deckers side and I had to turn around cause it turned to dirt...

I've never been that far north on the bike, how far is Estes Park area (ride time) from the Springs?

I put the word out to a few on my car forum and also my UPS guy who has that Duc 1098. So I'm still waiting to see who is all in...

[06xbss]

I think the only problem with that route is step #4 before Deckers, it says portions unpaved. I think I've been down that way from the Deckers side and I had to turn around cause it turned to dirt...

I was going to go scout that later this week, last time I took that route there was a one mile section of really well maintained dirt road. Depends on the rider, little bit of dirt never bothered me.

The route is still open... One nice thing about this area is all the canyons to choose from.

The end of that route is about a 2hr ride from the Springs.(I-25) Estes Park is a 2.5hr-3hr ride from the Springs.

Here is another fun route in the area that starts from the same place. http://mapq.st/Jnvbiz

[Jesse T]

That one seems pretty good! Also if it really is only a mile of dirt on that one route that would be fine...

[06xbss]

Here is a good route from Conifer, with lunch in Winter Park, ending in Golden.

http://mapq.st/JWuw70

[06xbss]

**BUMP**

[06xbss]

First weekend of June is here...........
Roll call for everyone wanting to meet up for a ride

[Jesse T]

I never heard from anyone else about going so I guess it kinda fizzled out [down]

We'll try again I suppose!

[06xbss]

Oh well.... still ended up putting almost 200 miles on the bike anyway [cool]

Did end up meeting a group of Buell riders from the Denver area on Sunday. I'll be keeping in touch with them and we'll see about setting up another front range ride.

[Jesse T]

Nice! I'm guessing not forum members...hopefully they are in for a meet/ride [up]

[06xbss]

Really cool pulling into a parking lot and seeing 7 Buells parked in a row. They meet up for rides and track days, they've also done overnight trips to southwest colorado.(there are some great roads over there) They meet for breakfast in Morrison on the first Sunday of every month.

[Jesse T]

Sweet! I'm down for a breakfast meet in Morrison! You'll have to find out what place/time cause I would like to try it out!

[CO Buell]

New Buell XB12R 25th anniversary edition owner in Wash park.
1st post and i thought I better say hi to the fellow Denver Buell riders.

What an amazing machine!!! null

[06xbss]

Welcome CO Buell,

we'll have to see about setting up another Front Range Buell ride. I'm out wandering the canyons almost every weekend and when I can during the week.

New to riding ? Or just new to Buell ? Been bothered by Denver cops about you bike being to loud ??

[CO Buell]

Had an R1 and R6 about 8 years ago, so yeah I guess Im kinda relearning things. Very new to Buell and looking for a Good shop in denver to tune it. Not been bothered yet, but i have the stock exhaust for now.

[06xbss]

My previous bike was a CBR600. Not sure how your 12R will compare, my 12Ss is a lot more fun/comfortable to ride. Really nice having power everywhere instead of just an upper rpm power band.

Are you talking ECM tune or just general maintenance tune??

Noise ordinance is 82db, could probably almost exceed that with the stock can. Cops are more after the idiots on choppers that would see how much noise they could make at 2-3am.

[Jesse T]

Welcome CO Buell! [up] I'm located west of Colorado Springs, in Woodland Park. It's been a challenge to get all of us together for a ride but we'll keep trying...we're all spread out sadly [mad]

[IIIZEROIII]

Whats up guys? I live in Denver as well and its riding season so whenever you guys meet up Ill be willing to go. A buddy of mine also owns a buell that would want to meet up as well.

[IIIZEROIII]

Also been meaning to ask. I see a firebolt quite often around 76th and pecos. Just wondering if thats any one on the forum.

[CO Buell]

06xbss
looking for a performance tune after exhaust and filter. thinking Hawk exhaust

[06xbss]

CO Buell:

If you go with Hawk exhaust, I think you can just send your ecm to him also. He'll flash a new map to it. When everything is installed just do a tps reset and your good to go.

you could also try calling High County Harley and see what their prices are for a tune.(only place i know of for Buell off hand)

[IIIZEROIII]

High country harley and rocky mountain harley are the only two Harley shops in the area that are buell friendly.

[Jesse T]

Welcome new guy! [up]

[CO Buell]

Denver Guys...
What exhaust and air filter is everybody using up here?
Thinking about cutting the stock exhaust but dont just want to gut it....
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

[06xbss]

My bike had the factory race kit on it when I bought it. Muffler, ECM, and filter. My air box had also been cut.

I just replaced the filter with a K&N, did the breather re-route and NGK plugs. The bike runs/sounds great.

There are a lot of threads about cutting the factory muffler. Do you want to keep the exhaust servo ?
Just after a better sound or more performance? Depending on what you do, you'll at least need a tps reset. Might need a full tune.

[CO Buell]

Not sure about the exhaust servo??? Just finished the breather re-route, plugs and K&N are next on the list.
As for the exhaust I'm looking for better sound and performance wouldn't hurt :)
Mainly dont want to lose performance and want to gain good sound.

[06xbss]

I know this is kind of late notice...

I'll be wandering some of the canyons just west of Denver on Sunday. Plan on linking up a bunch of roads to get a 150-250 mile ride in, weather will determine the amount of ridding.

Meet either at the Golden 7-11(just off hwy93, northwest corner of town) or at the Conoco just off 470 at the Morrison exit at 8am.

[CO Buell]

If my bike didn't leave me stranded on I-70 yesterday with a bad voltage regulator or stator I would be in. Both parts are sold out in CO so I will have to order on Monday.
Next time I'm in!

[06xbss]

That sucks.... What are the symtoms ??
I've been lucky, only been a couple of minor electrical problems with my bike in 22,000 miles.

[CO Buell]

Going down the highway I first got the yellow check engine light intermittently, then solid, then lost instrument cluster, then rough running engine, then complete loss of power and dead battery.
Battery tested fine so charging system is the problem. Just need to test stator and voltage regulator to see if both are bad or if it's just the regulator. Really put a damper on my nice Friday ride!

[06xbss]

Bummer.... silly toys always break when you wanna play :(

[06xbss]

Saturday 7-14-12

Going to be out wandering the front range. If anyone is interested we can set up a meet time/place.


CO Buell: were you able to find your electrical problem and get it fixed??

[CO Buell]

Found the problem but had to order the part[mad]
Should be here monday just as i leave for the week for work [mad]

[06xbss]

Damn the luck...

Know how it goes, snapped my belt when I was living on the western slope. No where local to get one, so I had to order one and wait.

[06xbss]

CO Buell, Here is a teaser for when you get back on the road.

http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Buell-Lightning-XB12S-XB12Ss-CityX-XB12Scg/Playing-with-my-camera

[CO Buell]

Great video now i'm really wanting to ride!!

Where did you get the Pegasus fram stickers?
Your bike looks great!

[06xbss]

You got the videos mixed up. :p:D

Never see the bike in my two clips, rear facing camera. That's raz65man with the really nice vid and blue XB.

"Pegasus frame stickers" are from Matter here on the forum. The thread is a sticky in the buell parts for sale section.

[ColoradoBueller]

I'v heard of a Buell meet in Denver every last sunday of the month for breakfast, not sure where. I'm in the Springs.:) If anyone gets this in time I'll be on 67
northbound between 9 and 10am tommorrow if you feel
like getting out.

[Jesse T]

Yeah I'd like to get in on that Denver meet. I'm in Woodland Park and would love to meet up and head towards Deckers. Give me a call if you want, seven1nine-sixsixone-seven2one6 Jesse

[Jesse T]

Hey 06xbss it was awesome to run into you guys in Morrison. Lets keep trying to make something happen as far as a ride goes! I'm going to try and make your next meet in October if the weather is good [up]

I forgot to tell you guys that I had hit a freakin deer on the way to Morrison [mad] Sheesh that was scary, luckily just nicked the rear end but the little bastard broke my carbon fiber oil cooler cover and bent the cooler cover mount some :(

-Jesse

[JJsXB9Sx]

Should a checked in earlier in the year.. I'm Justin. Been riding the up in the foothills lately, live in South Denver. I'll check back more frequently for meets since other riders seem to be on here... Gotta get some good riding in before the snow hits and the sand follows...

[Jesse T]

Nice to meet you! I'm just west of Colorado Springs. I'm trying to get the word out about the Morrison meet on the first Sunday of the month. I'm planning on being there on the 7th as long as the weather is good. Looks like they meet in Morrison right around 10am.

[06xbss]

Jesse,
It was cool seeing you in Morrison. Kinda wish I had a normal work schedule, it was just luck that I was able to make breakfast this month. Crazy that you clipped a deer that morning, glad it wasn't worse.

Justin,
I live in the mountains just west of Denver and I'm out wandering the canyons along the front range whenever possible. In the past 4-5 weeks, I've put around 800 miles on my bike.:D

Problem is, with my current job, I don't have a set schedule. Kinda crazy/annoying, work two days then a day off, then work 7 days, then 2 days off, then work one day, then 1 day off............................................... ....
Need to keep posting on here and try to get something together......

[Jesse T]

Yeah it was total coincidence that we ran in to you guys, which was awesome! And no **** what a scary deer encounter I had...little bastard broke some carbon on my oil cooler but I got her repaired as best I could!

Well hope to see you guys on the 7th. I'll be coming the back way (fun way ;) ) to Morrison but where is it again that you guys meet before heading to Morrison?

[06xbss]

Cool seeing that many Buells in a parking lot isn't it..... I think they meet at Rocky Mountain Harley/Buell ??? I come from northwest of Morrison and wander some canyons to get there.

[JJsXB9Sx]

I'll try to make the 7th happen... Where u guys meet in Morrison?
Gonna head up the mountain first thing next week. Saw about five different cops heading up 285 to Evergreen a week ago (on a weekday and at least three shooting radar), so gonna try something different, maybe head up past Black Hawk until I get lost.

[06xbss]

I know it's kinda late notice, but the weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow.

Saturday Oct. 20th

Where: Golden 7-11 (northwest edge of Golden, along Hwy 93)
When: Meet around 10:30am leave around 11am
Route: Paved roads with a lot of corners
Pace: relaxed?? Don't always obey the speed limit and I'll play in the corners a bit. Although, I have no interest in meeting some cops or laying my bike down.

[Jesse T]

Well one of these days we'll get it figured out! :D I went on Sunday, kinda south towards Canon City, just a quick 100 mile loop...

[06xbss]

One of these days................. It was a great day for a ride, Ended up ridding ~270 miles (60% canyon). Me and another rider covered a bunch of canyons between Golden and Fort Collins. Had to ride a bit more straight then I wanted to, was running out of daylight and Boulder Canyon was closed for a fatal motorcycle accident.

[mandi022]

I'm kind of new to the site and just found this thread. I live down in Pueblo and would be interested in riding with some other buellers. Message me if you want to ride!

[06xbss]

Welcome to BuellXB mandi002,

Been trying to get a ride together most of the summer, just hasn't worked out though. I live just west of Denver and am ridding along the front range all summer. There are a few guys on here from the Springs and one from Woodland Park though.

[ColoradoBueller]

I had also been riding the front range for most of the summer and fall. Hopefully I'll hear of a meet I can make it to. Gettin a little chilly at 70 now...

[06xbss]

Gettin a little chilly at 70 now... 70 is great ridding weather ???

Can't believe I'm still able to ride in the mountains at the end of November. Just been short trips cause 40-50 is a little chilly.

[ColoradoBueller]

I mean 70mph...:D

[generalcuz]

Would be fun to meet some other Buell riders as well. Been craving to ride with some folks who would challenge me a bit more. I live in the north Highlands and ride to Golden a lot for work, or just evening canyon carving in Golden. Can't wait for next season. Will be my first full year owning my 1125cr.

[06xbss]

ColoradoBueller :
I mean 70mph...
Ah.... I had just figured you were one of those fair weather ridders. 70mph was a little brisk in 45* weather yesterday.

generalcuz: Always been curious about the 1125, still haven't had the chance to see one in action. Most everyone I've ridden with this summer has been on a jap bike.

[ColoradoBueller]

Got my new Michelin Pilot Road 3's on this week and a little riding in. 59 degrees and sunny in January?
Lets ride. :D

[06xbss]

Canyons are clearing up..... :D Lets see if we can get a Buell ride together.

[Jesse T]

Sounds good to me!

[TorqueMonster]

Jesse,
A ride sounds good! I am still the slow guy out of the bunch but I had a great time last time we all got together for a ride. I would definitely be interested in going.

[Jesse T]

I'm getting some new rubber on the rear today. [up] So I'll be up and running again. Oil change also planned for this weekend. I'd love to meet you again for a ride. I need to check my email but I believe it's the first Sunday of each month the Buell guys from Denver meet in Morrison. Maybe we can hit that up? IIRC 06xbss is one of the guys that meet up there...I'm sure he will chime in.

You know of any other Springs Buell guys?

[06xbss]

Last summer, it was the first Sunday of the month ~10AM. Not sure if anything has changed, haven't been able to make it yet this summer.

[ColoradoBueller]

I'll probably go to the meet on the first sunday of July, I live in west Colorado Springs.

[Jesse T]

I'm in Woodland, perhaps we could meet here and ride the back way up there? Let me know!

[ColoradoBueller]

That's the way I would ride up there, where in Woodland would you want to meet?

[konarider94]

I was in Denver for a wedding over the weekend. Was on 36 between Westminster and Boulder on saturday and saw an xb on the other side of the divider. Im pretty sure it was barricade orange. Anyone on here?

[Negative]

Man ..... I wish there was even just ONE more buell around louisiana ... =\

[Jesse T]

That's the way I would ride up there, where in Woodland would you want to meet?

Dang. I won't be in town this Sunday. Maybe we can plan for the August meet? And I live right in town it wouldn't matter where we met.

Also, thats cool you were here Kona, We don't have a real strong forum presence so I doubt that guy was on here. We all see a lot of Buells but it seems only half a dozen forum guys. :(

[konarider94]

Also, thats cool you were here Kona, We don't have a real strong forum presence so I doubt that guy was on here. We all see a lot of Buells but it seems only half a dozen forum guys.

Who knows maybe Ill move out there in a year or so. I like it a lot out there.

[ColoradoBueller]

Some of the best roads in the country in my opinion. That's unfortunate Jesse, we should try for the meet on the first sunday in August then, also there is a ride happening the 23-25th of August I believe down around Pagosa Springs...

[06xbss]

Some of the good reasons for living/riding in Colorado :D

http://www.coloradodot.info/programs/live-to-ride/rider-resources.html

[ColoradoBueller]

Met up with the Buell riders group from Highcountry Buell yesterday, cool group of different riders. They are going to be at Highplains raceway on July 15th and maybe the 29th with a couple of them running on the track if anyone is interested in coming out.

[greenexplo]

Hi, i just bought a buell about a month ago, haven't seen anyone in northern colorado. wouldn't mind meeting up with few other guys/gals. Hope to see another one out there sometime.

[XB2theLIMIT]

I'm in westminster, i've seen a few around here. if anybody is down to hit the canyon message me and we'll throw something together!

[HighPlanesRider]

Hey guys I am new to the web site and have only been riding street bikes for a couple months now(been riding our mountains on a dirt bike for a wile now). I live in Morrison and would love to go on some rides with some other buellers. Hit me up and let me know when and where to be.

[06xbss]

Welcome HighPlansRider, XB2theLIMIT and greenexplo.

We've tried to get a couple of rides together last summer, never seemed to work out. :( I've been slacking on keeping up with this thread this summer.

Weather permitting I'm out almost every weekend and sometimes after work during the week. I live a little north/west of Black Hawk and most of my riding is along the front range between Deckers and Lyons. Some trips further north, south, or across the divide.

[ruCKYes]

New to the forum, but not to riding! Season is starting to wrap up, but if any other Denver Bueller's are out there & wanna ride on a weekend or weekday - message me here!

Just got my first Buell XB about 2 months ago & already put over 1,000 miles on it. Absolutely LOVE This bike.. Turns every head I roll by.

I've already found lots of great info on this forum, so it's good to have this as a resource!

Anyway, greetings to my fellow Denver riders! :D

[ccdirtrider05]

good ol colorado.. was sweating on the way out of town.. had snow building up on me and the bike on the way back in!..Bi-Polar state.. hot, cold, fire, flooding, snowing in full sunshine and still considered to be in a drought..

[greenexplo]

ouch that sounds rough ccdirtrider05. question for who still reading these. i have a carbon windscreen... it is a bit bigger, well it touches my front brake res. i want to chop it down to the right size and want to know who would like to meet so i would draw the lines on the tape.

[wrongwayislost77]

North Colorado is pretty vague. I'm in Westminster and am always happy to meet other local Buell owners. Where are you at? Maybe someone close can swing by and give you a hand.

[greenexplo]

im just up in loveland.

[generalcuz]

Would like to meet up with some Colorado folks this coming season. Rode my 1125cr less than a thousand miles this past summer. Need to change that.

[06xbss]

less than a thousand miles this past summer

Wow........ thought I was slacking, only putting 7xxx miles on my bike this summer.

Haven't had much luck meeting other riders from here, we'll have to try and change that next summer.

[ruCKYes]

^^Look forward to getting with some of you in a few months. Gotta gather the remaining Buells before they all disappear.. ;)

I was riding 4-5 days a week till this morning. :(

[greenexplo]

Well CO buell riders, the time is approaching any chance we try do a meet up? I'm in northern area, I also have one problem, I'm running rich and need to know some solutions any of you might have. I bought used I belive the pipe is aftermarket and my intake is opened up. Harley is saying something around 800 to tune it since I need a tuner. What are my better options? Ecmspy, might need help with fiddling with it.

[turdferguson40]

laramie Wyoming reporting for riding season here. hoping to set up a southern Wyoming / northern Colorado ride and meet. if you know other buell riders in the area get with them and see if they're interested in planning something soon

[303xb]

Got the xb12scg all cleaned up and ready to go. Will be out riding this afternoon and all day tomorrow. Will probably do deer creek and coal creek.

[dmp0001]

I am heading to woodland park and beyond. :D

[dmp0001]

303Xb, did you ever find a race pipe?

[HighPlanesRider]

Dmp0001 where are you starting from? I am heading out early from c470 & hwy 285. Maybe we can meet up somewhere.

[303xb]

No race pipe yet. Just rode a loop near monument ..Sitting at buds bar in sedalia. Headed up to coal creek tomorrow

[dmp0001]

Sorry highplainsrider, i just saw this when i got home. Next time. I live right at the base of 24. I did see an xb9sx red wheels with carbon body, anybody here?

[ColoradoBueller]

Hello guys, just got a Ulysses a couple days ago and will be riding the front range every other weekend or so, also interested in one of the iron butt rides this year as well, 1,000 miles in 24 hours.
Also a reminder to anyone on here interested to meet, Buell rider breakfast meets every 1st Sunday of the month at 10:30, which will next be July 6th.

Red Rocks Grill
415 Bear Creek Ave
Morrison, CO

See you out there

[eppt]

No ****, I live 10 min from there and am in Morrison all the time. I will see you there soon

[303xb]

Me too.

[Jesse T]

Big bump!!! :D

I have been MIA for a long time on the forum...dang life is always getting in the way. I only seem to get out half a dozen times a summer but it's hard when you have a family and other hobbies.

Hopefully this spring we can get a ride going. Are the guys still hitting up Morrison once a month in the warmer months?

[xlntcfp]

I would be interested interested in getting together with some off road riders...fire roads...recently put the continental knobbies on....wearing them out on the street...

thanks

[Jesse T]

Where are you located?

I'm only on the street but maybe some other Adventure/Uly guys will chime in...

[eppt]

Anyone planning on meeting at red rocks grill this Saturday? I would love to meet some of my fellow bullers and ride for a little

[303xb]

I'll probably be there. Que hora?

[eppt]

I will be there @10:30 maybe a little early as live about 5 min from there

[eppt]

Oh wait I just realized Sunday is easter, if you all want to do Saturday instead that would be awesome. I can't do easter

[eppt]

Won't be able to meet tomorrow, death in the family. Sorry

[303xb]

Ride on Sunday?

[eppt]

Working on Saturday, off on the one after that

[WiredForStereo]

I might be interested in the future. New poster, live in Denver. I have a bad fork seal I need to fix before I can do much though. Maybe I do that Saturday.

[jazzybeats]

I am also interested in meeting up...soon. I just bought a house so my honey do list is pretty long... But I'd love to meet up with fellow buellers a sap, you guys meet up pretty often?

[303xb]

A couple of us do. Riding Palmer lake loop Saturday. Lets set up a ride in June

[eppt]

That is a great ride love it. Wish I could join in but working Saturday through Wednesday. Off Thursday through Monday if anyone want to get together

[CoastieRider]

I know this post is old, but i thought i would revive it. Separating from Active duty and moving to Colorado Springs Area. Where are all the good places to go riding at?

[303xb]

Too many to list. When are you back? Riding Sunday

[dmp0001]

I live in springs, my favorite rides are west up past woodland park. Now I just need to get my bike back on the road.

[CoastieRider]

Im in Hawaii right now and probably won't be there until mid august, hopefully it will still be warm enough out to ride.

[dmp0001]

It's good here usually through late October with a few cold days mixed in.

[WiredForStereo]

I'm planning to ride out to Cedaredge (from Denver) Saturday morning, taking 285 through Fairplay, etc. I'll be camping overnight and then riding back Sunday. Anybody interested in coming along for any portion of that?

[303xb]

I might join you, any 2 lane twisties? 285 aint bad, but lots of coppers.

[303xb]

^^^^ fresh Mobil 1 all the way around... Eeeeeeeeee

[Jesse T]

^Sweet Taco!

Hey guys! Glad to see some activity on here. I'm just posting again to say hello and that I'm still around but I just don't get out too much. Sadly life is keeping me from riding a whole lot. I am needing some new brake pads, any suggestions before I go searching the forum?
