Looking for Buell or other V-twin Sport riders in the Bragg area that would be interested in forming riding group. Not really the Burger King crowd style, I am hoping we can form a group that would be interested in some real riding and not just throttle twisting....

Damn, I hardly ever saw a Buell on Ft Bragg when I was there... Used to live in the barracks next to the Green Beret Club on Gruber and 9th infantry street (4th Psyop Group). but I didnt really get out much around the base, only really ventured down to 82nd land once in a blue moon for PT (and to wash my car at that place on Gruber and Long street.) Oh well... life goes on

Any of you guys ever do any ecmspy tuning? I'm in the process of getting everything setup - hopefully I can fix the timeout errors.

Umm just a tps reset lol... and a little of other stuff.. but im wanting to learn

Sirius815

Tightened up my primary chain today and adjusted my static timing. I'll reconfirm static timing later this week after riding it a while to make sure it's still set. TPS was done the other day. Bike already seems to run better. [up]

I'll take a look at the airbox later this week possibly and see if the PO did any work and the condition of the filter.[smirk]

Hey Andy - saw your bike yesterday - I was riding in my friends Jetta. Looks pretty good from the second that I saw it.

This thread brings back a ton of memories, I was stationed at Ft. Bragg. Thanks for all you do, stay safe and may God bless and protect each and everyone of you and your families.

Not really the Burger King crowd style

hey is that crowd still at the BK all the time? I dont remember the street, but I remember it was close to the mall.... I used to drive by there and see all the bikes there just sitting and BSing. I never saw them riding though.

@BuelliganXB - I check the site regularly (many times a day), but this thread kind of died with lack of activity ... I'll be back in Bragg in 3 weeks. I'm off of Honeycutt as well... I know andrew88m is local and TACPbuell (I think that's his username...)

@ jakestolar - that is correct. Luckily zero damage at my house!

P.S. - Andrew now has a machine shop for his axle sliders, so if you need some, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to show 'em to you first hand.

Finally got a Buell again 05 Lightning. I had a 99X1 few years ago regretting selling but back in the game. Im about 25 miles south of Bragg. Would like to get together with some fellow Buell riders.

Sirius815
11-05-2011, 03:50 AM
[up]I think TACPBuell is trying to get a ride together around Feb/March - there's another thread for us Eastern NC folk.

I'm in Wilmington NC. just about an hour south of you guys. I know a few people with Buell's down here, we should meet up sometime. Wilmington to j-ville is a pretty good ride down 17.

Sirius815
11-10-2011, 05:56 PM
Definitely a meet is in order. Sadly I have no winter riding gear besides my Army stuff - which is still in Iraq [down]

I'm in the Apex area and I'm always riding. If anyone in the south Raleigh area is up for riding I'm always down. I have no riding friends :( so I'm usually just out riding around by myself. Would be nice to have some fellow Buelligans to cruise around with. I just got my Buell in Aug and have already put just about 5000 miles on it. I've rode in anything from 34 degree on up and rain or shine. So I'll just say I'm always down for riding.

11-10-2011, 09:41 PM
Vance Im over in Broadway/Sanford area.. Its like a 35min ride for me to get there... Just had a weird realization [smirk] Ive never been to raleigh on the bike and its the nicest city around my area lol... hmmm

hey bud I'm leaving for germany next year in august it sounds like you should be back here before I go to school in march. Let me know when you get back.

Germany huh? Getting stationed there or moving? Either way Im jealous haha

11-12-2011, 12:15 AM
I actually bought my Buell from a guy in Sanford. I actually live in New Hill but noone has ever heard of it. I'm about 10 minutes closer to Sanford from Apex. I'm right off of US 1 and live right down the street from the Harris Lake Nuke plant. Lots of nice backroads and twisties out here and can also take the back way and head into downtown from where I'm at. If you want to go riding sometime let me know. I usually do some backroads between me and Sanford around the Moncure area which sounds like it would be halfway for us. I'm actually doing a ride with a meetup group to Raven Rock tomorrow. Sunday is supposed to be a nice day so may do some riding that day also but will probably be alone that day.

I'd love to go out, but I'm home taking care of the kids while my wife recovers from surgery.

Give me a few weeks and I'll be in!

you lucky bastard lol, how long will you be there? and what happens to your buell when you leave? Storing it somewhere?

vance580
11-12-2011, 06:48 PM
Hey TACP, if you want to do some riding tomorrow let me know. I'll probably be out enjoying the day but I'll check here before I go anywhere in case you are game.

Andrew88M
11-12-2011, 07:45 PM
selling the buell if I can get what I want for it so I don't take such a huge loss. I'd like to store it but probably going to be there for 2-3 years and really don't want it to sit around and have to worry about coming back to a mouse chewed up bike or any other problems with it since it will have to be stored in my in-laws garage. Plus I'm trying to get all the cash I can so my wife and I can get a car. We are selling just about everything we don't really need so that we have no bills what so ever and make it simple when we get there. Then we will get another bike when we return to the states. Also selling the stock stuff I took off the bike with the bike as well as workstands and what not.

There's been a yellow 9r running up and down Honeycutt today. The wife's been eyeing it. :D

TACPBuell
02-07-2012, 04:00 PM
I havent seen any buells since Ive been back, except mine... in pieces... luring me in... so sad =( I need a moment...

Sirius815
02-07-2012, 04:58 PM
Yeah - I normally just ride directly from my house to work and back, which only includes a short little section on Longstreet - other than that it's all back roads.

TACPBuell
02-07-2012, 05:04 PM
You live out past the bragg range?

Sirius815
02-08-2012, 05:28 AM
Nope, on-post off of Honeycutt. (back roads being housing area and 2nd BCT). I've got a whopping 2.1 miles to work - needless to say I don't think I ever get any good heat into the tires.

TACPBuell
02-08-2012, 10:16 AM
Oh haha nice... you need to get out and about lol.. theres some nice roads out west of the bragg range near vass and southern pines.

Sirius815
05-18-2012, 08:21 PM
There's a small ride going on tomorrow at Hotrodz - starts at 10am - I'll be there around 930. We'll see which crowd I fit in better - the old Harley guys or the japs :D

Sirius815

Saw a black 12s today with the dual headlight mod. He had just turned onto Canopy off of Gruber - I was in my Black BMW M3.

Sirius815
09-07-2012, 11:09 AM
There's also a red 12s for sale on the Pope lot - he's asking $7000 - didn't see the mileage as I just did a quick stopper this morning.

Sirius815
09-07-2012, 11:14 AM
Looks like the black one I saw yesterday is the one for sale on C-list - http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/mcy/3183841703.html

TACPBuell
09-07-2012, 12:32 PM
Yeah I saw the one over at the lemon lot.. seems a bit high. You been out riding lately? We need to get the nc folks together or at least bragg area and go for a ride.

Sirius815
09-07-2012, 05:47 PM
I just take the bike to work as normal. Had the CLS course this week so instead of the 2.2mi ride, I had like 4.5 :D

And of course since I could show up in uniform I took the bike to PT as well.

vance580
09-07-2012, 09:56 PM
Hey TACP if you push that ride up towards the Sanford area I'd be down. My XB is dismantled but I have my 1125 to ride and should be able to do a ride if you set one up.

TACPBuell
09-08-2012, 01:09 AM

Resurrecting a dinosaur here, I know. Anybody in the Fayetteville area on here anymore? I'd love to do at least a meet and great. I'm not down with any of the local gangs.. *cough*.... clubs I mean, that's not my bag. Just looking for other Buellers to meet up and see what happens.

Sirius815
08-01-2013, 01:31 AM
Yeah, I saw a lightning the other day and I saw TACPBuell riding around as well. There's a red lightning for sale locally, but do not know the owner.

Beau
08-01-2013, 01:54 AM
Cool. I see a Buell every once in a while, I ride mine all the time. I easily prefer it over my car. I'll pm you my number and if you know other people maybe we could all get together for a drink or something. I'm basically just looking for motorcycle buddies.

Sirius815
08-01-2013, 11:52 AM
You can always go to the Burger King meets :P well...if you're into the stretched two feet, fat back tire, short sleeve and **** kind of thing.

Beau
08-01-2013, 03:26 PM
Haha yeah with chicken strips two inches wide! No, I'm quite fond of my stock length, absence of chrome and LED's (in excess), and I wear my jacket all the time, no matter what.

If you ever heard up towards the Raleigh area let me know. We are going to have to try and meet up for Bikefest in Oct. TACP and I never got a chance to get together last year.

Beau
08-07-2013, 03:24 AM
Yeah, sure thing. I don't know anything about Bikefest, keep us updated!

Sorry I know I'm not a Bragger but just seeing the name Bragg makes me miss Lejeune. [sad] And yes in the Jacksonville area we had the McDonald club. I didn't ride with them either. Not my style to sit in a parking lot all day and stare at my bike and have the same old conversation about if I were riding my bike I could out run you. But I'm back in GA now Disabled Vet medically retired thank god I can still ride.
