there's several from hampton roads (myself included) that were gonna go, but remembered that it was mother's day, so had to cancel to keep our respective households at rest.

i'd like to see buell race in the AMA class this august. i'm free the last 2 weekends, but not the 13-15 weekend -sigh-

I will put in for vacation this week to make sure I'm off that weekend. I've been to a ****-ton of car races of all types, but never to a motorcycle race. There is no excuse for that! It's only an hour and fifteen min drive from Lynchburg. Count me in!

The Quaker Steak on West Broad St. in Richmond has bike night every Wednesday. It is a good gathering place. A lot of bikes, 3 Buells this week! VIR still has discount tickets for the AMA super bike race next month.

People meet as early as 5:30 or 6 at quaker steak as it packs out. Some show up much later though. I usually get there around 7 or so.

So who around Richmond does ECM spy maps???

Jerry C
08-04-2010, 05:34 PM
We were at quaker steak tonight Aug 4 there were 4 Buells our 2 xb9cityx and 1 Firebolt 1 Uly not bad for Richmond. We will be riding to bikes in the bottom at Poes pub on Sunday Aug 8 around 10am.

nitrofein

I was at the Lube but didn't get to see any of the buell's because the storm rolled up by the time I finished eating.

Anyone around Richmond who can load race ecm onto a stock ecm?

We have a group of 4, 2 Buells,1 HD, and 1 Yamaha. We are leaving Richmond around day break on Sat the 14th. We most likely will take 360 to 58.

Jerry C
08-10-2010, 03:15 PM
I'll be looking for any Buells at VIR, I have an 07 and my girlfriend has a 09 xbcity.

I have a black 04 Lightning.

Jerry C

Jerry C

VIR was cool, we met a number of Buellers. Next year I think we will go on Friday if they have the track day again.

gater
08-17-2010, 05:26 PM
I was not able to go. The alternator on my truck went out on Wednesday it took two days to to get alternator. I thought it was not going to be a big deal but the threads were to big and it would not bolt up. So could not drive the other truck because my wife has to work on weekends. I had to take the kids with me and I cant ride 3 up on the Lightning. My Dad lives 30 minutes from the track and my plan was to trailer the bike down and leave the kids with him. Oh well I guess it was not in the cards.

Jerry C
08-18-2010, 02:25 PM
Life happens! We did the fan laps (2 laps) for $10 the track surface is very smooth and flat. We where near the back of the pack and hung back far enough to pin it out of turn 17 until we caught the others in turn 1. I feel a track day coming on!

gater
08-18-2010, 05:34 PM
2 laps for $10 I would do that. My Dad told me that the money they collect for the 2 laps goes to charity. One of the lady's in my Dads rotary club is one of the executives at VIR.

My brother did the Buell track day a VIR the other year and had a blast on his ULY. He got me a track day T-shirt. I'm still mad that HD pulled the plug on Buell.

Jerry C
08-19-2010, 03:41 PM
Well hopefully E.Buell will return. I think the 1190 is going to be a rocket!

Hey Jerry, my name is Dave. We met at Quaker steak, I had the black 03 xb9 with the jardine pipe. It was nice to meet you and your wife.

Jerry C
08-28-2010, 03:04 AM
Dave, Yeah it was good to meet a fellow Bueller.
Richmond SuperBike has a good reputation and they work on all brands, they may be able to help you with the ECM.

I think a group of us may be going to the IMS on Jan 15 from the Richmond area. We may be taking a cage depending on the weather.

gater
12-25-2010, 06:46 AM
I'm in Northern VA near Warrenton depending on what I have going on we might make it. I'm about 35 miles from DC. It takes about 45 minutes for us to get there on the XB12S.

Crashed my XBCity on the way home last night. A car made a left hand turn in front of three lanes of on coming traffic, I was in the middle lane and had no where to go. In stead of going the guy stops so I hit the brakes until I see that there will be impact. Then I lock them up to blled off as much speed as I can at which time I go airborn and hit the top of guys trunk my bike hits his rear fender. I fall onto the road in front of the now stopped traffic. I walked away and was checked by the EMTs no harm, I guess I'm just a tough old Jarhead. My bike is looking like $1000 in damage.

Jerry C
02-10-2011, 03:50 PM
Oh yeah, protective gear:Shoei RF1000, Gerbings extreme jacket with armor and G3 gloves, HD textile riding pants with armor, and military boots. I don't always were all the gear but I think I'm going to start! Parts: Zero gravity windshild, Instrument cluster and housing,front pully cover,right side foot peg and mount, brake pedal,rear master cylinder,drive belt, right hand guard, break lever. Crashing sucks!

02-10-2011, 05:30 PM
Dude, sorry to here of your misfortune. Been there, done that. You are 100% correct, It does suck! Sorry I don't have anything on your list laying around. When I crashed mine, Buellsterparts really treated me right as did some of our fellow Buellers on here.
I don't live that far away, feel free to call me if I can be of any help. Razman

nilla
02-10-2011, 08:08 PM
INSURANCE! it will/should cover gear too
you pay for it. why not make it pay out? especially on a not-at-fault wreck

lick your wounds, and feel better my freind.

Jerry C
02-11-2011, 03:00 PM
Thanks guys! I'm taking the bike to Richmond Superbike for an estimate Saturday morning. I rode the X1 today it felt good.

Hey Jerry,

I'm sorry to hear about your accident. You might be able to get the parts and do some of the work yourself. Good luck.

I'm in arlington, was looking at planning a ride for all md/dc/va buellers sometime in may. I'll be home by then and will be logging some miles on the buell. Been 18months since I bought and only 1300 miles. Only actually had for 6month. Being deployed sucks. Anyways. I'll start a thread sometime in late april when I'm back stateside and out of Afghanistan.

Would gladly do it any day. I'm thinking of trying to map a route so its equal distance for everyone, yet is good ride on good roads. I'm not of fan of riding in the cities or big areas, even though I ride a lot I
n DC and NOVA. Was thinking of maybe a skyline drive run or something along those lines. Anyone else have any ideas?
