I'm kinda pissed right now I have my brother in town and a family reunion to go to next weekend preventing me from going to see the 1190 in Lebanon. The first weekend of August I say we ride up there its only a little over 100 miles.

I'd be down for a ride up to Lebanon (I'm in Westminster). There's some nice roads up thatta way.

oh9bolt

Yeah I agree August 6th for the 1190RS viewing. This weekend is way to hot to ride. I'm doing the 24hr chump car race at VIR next weekend so I'm busy. This is now the official DMV thread I'm hoping!

oh9bolt
07-19-2011, 04:46 PM
I would be up for a ride this Saturday but I have some friends coming in from out of town, if it doesn't rain I can ride on Sunday and if I don't have a horrible hangover lol.

All, you missed a good ride. We'll have to do this route again.

Zzyzxx71
07-23-2011, 07:21 PM
Not sure the link is working correctly, but yeah - was an awesome ride - Next time we do something like this we should try this route again.

Total mileage from sterling was around 130 I think (plus the 80 mile round trip).

We damn near did some off roading.

I didn't include the offroading part in the route ;)

The road just sort of... ended...

oh9bolt
07-24-2011, 01:12 PM
After this coming weekend I have a few weekends that I will be able to ride

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 09:46 AM
1190rs Meet August 6th I'm going to ride up in the am and get a look at a bike I will likely never see on the road, like the Jaguar XJ220 (less than 300 in the world) that we saw on the road last ride.

Who wants to go?

1.oh9bolt

zaxrex
07-28-2011, 10:57 AM
Maybe...

A 315 mile round trip is an awful long ride...

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 11:10 AM
Time to get your iron butt patch...

Zzyzxx71
07-28-2011, 12:00 PM
Crap - I'm working 3 12s that weekend, and will be out of town the next weekend as well.

07-28-2011, 01:20 PM
Zzyzxx71 that sucks, I will be going early saturday morning if you get a wild hair and decide you want to go.

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 01:27 PM
LOL yeah I've done 250 and that sucked. I was walking like a duck when I came off the bike.

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 01:37 PM
I was walking like a duck when I came off the bike.

Armymp09 applied for his patch and they haven't got back to him yet because of comments like this. LMAO

:p

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 01:44 PM
Yeah, its like my combat patch, I've got a couple patchs to choose from. I always have gear whore patch, multi buell owners patch, don't ride enough patch, and the best one haven't been down yet patch.

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 01:51 PM
Ahhh throwing out knee slappers back lol all in good fun.

You don't OWN either buell you still owe on both of them.:p

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 01:54 PM
I always forgot to add the properly wrapped header patch to my list.

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 01:56 PM
And oh9 has jokes. Oh9 does have the I like to own donks on the forums patch.

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 01:57 PM
Lol [up]

zaxrex
07-28-2011, 01:58 PM
My header wrap should come in today...

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 02:04 PM
Sweet have fun wrapping! How many feet did you get.

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 02:06 PM
Doing percocet and having discussions on a forum never end well, usually never end well for the other party.

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 02:06 PM
Zax remember to wrap it with tight gaps. Makes it looks so much better.

zaxrex
07-28-2011, 02:16 PM
50' DEI titanium. I'm going to try to wrap with the headers still on the bike.

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 02:16 PM
The most epic thread in buellxb.com history half way down page 9 the party starts with my knee slappers lols for days. RRH481 sigh

zax we did armys on the bike do a couple double wraps then put a hose clamp around it slide it till it hits the o2 sensor and with the seat off there is a spot to get a wrench down and tighten the clamp and then get your wrap on.

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 02:22 PM
Yep both my bikes were done in like that. Still works perfectly to this day. Just takes a little bit of time to get it right.

zaxrex
07-28-2011, 02:25 PM
This is my favorite:

False stock 08 xb12rs have a completely diff crank they top out at 155 and my bikes not stock and it was dyne tuned witch showed my bike doing 159 160 so pretty sure I'm not wrong

roflclamf!!! As if a different crank changes the gear ratios :p

zax we did armys on the bike do a couple double wraps then put a hose clamp around it slide it till it hits the o2 sensor and with the seat off there is a spot to get a wrench down and tighten the clamp and then get your wrap on.

With a Firebolt I could see that... the Lightning seat houses all the electrics....

Maybe you guys can give me a hand when we do the ECM tuning session...

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 02:31 PM
The thread got locked because of the bashing that took place lollol

oh9bolt
07-28-2011, 02:32 PM
I'm game for that on the lightning you can get to the spot as well so your good.

ArmyMP09
07-28-2011, 02:39 PM
Yeah, its super simple to do it. Actually the lightning as more mroom then the firebolt does.

zaxrex
07-29-2011, 11:52 AM
Army, your Firebolt's header wrap looks fantastic. I'd love for mine to look 80% as good. The headers are one of the most prominant parts of the Buell XB IMO, I don't want to do a poor job...

oh9bolt
07-29-2011, 12:16 PM
Agreed its in the top 3 of anything that's been posted on here. Good job. [cool]

Edit: wrapping my pipes will be my next redone mod, it saved my pipes in my accident no scratches at all.

zaxrex
07-29-2011, 01:04 PM
Oh9... I don't remember your headers being wrapped? [confused]

Did you remove the wrap because of an accident?

oh9bolt
07-29-2011, 01:10 PM
I took the wrap off after the accident because it was f'd up

Zzyzxx71
07-30-2011, 08:59 AM
Zzyzxx71 that sucks, I will be going early saturday morning if you get a wild hair and decide you want to go.

Crap - just saw this.

Just got done changing the transmission fluid in the car. Supposed to be changed every 30k, car has 97k, stuff was black.

Let me know if you want to take a shot at using my ECM cable - maybe another set of eyes can figure out why I'm having issues.

oh9bolt
07-31-2011, 10:38 AM
Ok I've never used it but I have ecmspy, tunerpro, and another program installed on my laptop I can bring that over and you can try it on another computer. I've never used either program so we will be learning together. I just want my cel light off it bugs me that its on.

oh9bolt
08-02-2011, 09:00 AM
On Friday army and I are going to ride over to Sonic in Winchester if anyone is interested. Saturday is up to the weather if we go up to PA to see the 1190, right now it doesnt look to promising.

If you dont want to drive as far but would still like to meet there is a mainly car with some bikes event that goes on in Sterling at the Chic-Fil-A by Dulles Town Centre mall which I havent been to in forever I may go this Friday after our sonic trip.

vajayjay
08-02-2011, 06:38 PM
I need to get a new seat before I make any trip like that. After about 15 miles on my current seat my ass is done. Stock HD solo seat is ****. But I will hit you up another time or when I get the Buell back

ArmyMP09
08-06-2011, 07:20 PM
I think they ride rain or shine. Although I don't rain ride so. I'll do it but only on good weather so.

oh9bolt
08-09-2011, 04:16 PM
Weather is staring to come around I hope. The last I checked on weather channel its only 30% chance of rain, come on sun. I already printed out my waiver and I'm ready to ride. I'm making the trip on thursday morning up to PA to see the 1190 I'm excited for that either way.

ArmyMP09
08-09-2011, 06:15 PM
ride Save. I hate making long rides alone, although it does give you a lot of time to clear your head. I could use a long solo ride right now.[sad]

as for the biker bash its rain or shine, you can register there or save some time/hassle for yourself and go to their facebook page and register there

I'll be around this weekend. I doubt I'll make the biker bash given 40% of rain for sat. Oh wells..

oh9bolt
08-10-2011, 06:06 PM
Im going to go ahead and say i'm in for the biker bash it says Isolated showers on Saturday which means it may rain shortly at some point and I can deal with that not all day rain. Anyone else make a decision.

EITM Biker Bash (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=254423061240805)

And for the people that just cant get over the side mounted "exhaust" it comes off with 2 clamps this was done to meet Emission restrictions in all countries that it could go too (Japan to be specific) and it can be taken off for places that dont require it it. It is basically the same exhaust thats on the 1125.

oh9bolt
08-11-2011, 06:31 PM
Underground Parking under Neiman Marcus. (http://mapq.st/pIK7Br)

This is where we met before i think its perfect because its easy to get on 495 from here.

I've got my fingers cross for u crome. U still want those pegs and scoop don't you? Anyways.. Yeah there is always a ton of bikes to look at, talk to people, walk around.. I had a long talk the last time I did, who the girl who ended up low siding later in the ride. It was a good time over, just we got there late so it was hard to see all the bikes, ect.

My bike was supposed to back this weekend and still havent heard anything ughhh. I decided over the weekend that Im going to finish my folder for the army and join up finally. Shooting to leave sometime in october but I dont think I could let the bike or my car go, especially after all Ive been through this summer with the bike. Do you wanna shoot for this weekend and try to get it out of the way?

i would save it from the debris that will fly around and bring it indoors. those plastics are tough to replace these days. and what better excuse can you get to bring it in and oogle at it day in and day out. worst that can happen is you get the DIY bug and work on the thing some more.

This weekend I want to ride but im not sure if ill be able to because of wanting to go camping.

I will be riding to skyline drive once the leaves start changing I know Chris (the guy with the dk blue SV650) and another friend that has a SV, ill post something up when we decide on a date.

Well I don't think I did quite as well as Kevin... but it doesn't look half bad

oh9bolt
09-19-2011, 08:00 AM
Looks good! The wrap I did on Kevins bike and mine have been a learning experience each time we've done it, I think 4-5 times total each wrap job has gotten better. We have got the overlap perfected I think there is only about 1' left of 50' of wrap when we were done this last time. This is one of my winter mods to rewrap my pipes.

ArmyMP09
09-19-2011, 10:04 AM
Looks good. Bolt and I have learned a lot about wrapping. We've actually got a system down now for doing it. Did u use the hose clamps on the tops and bottom to ensure it won't ever come loose? Btw maybe getting the lightning back this weekend. LOL. Haven't seen it in 4 months.

zaxrex
09-19-2011, 10:38 AM
yep. Hose clamps on top and bottom. The wrap on the straight parts is fantastic. The bottom was a bitch (when the two pipes become one)...

ArmyMP09
09-19-2011, 10:51 AM
That's the part that really takes practice. After 5 times I don't think we've fully mastered that section. That takes a long time and can be done a few different ways

oh9bolt
09-19-2011, 10:58 AM
This time wrapping my pipes I'm going to sawzall the pipes apart where they meet so I can at least get a couple wraps farther down then do the normal wrap both pipes together.

zaxrex I have been on the hunt for a exhaust to replace my hawk with, if/when I find one hopefully this winter I will be selling the Hawk for $200 if you would like to buy it.

ArmyMP09
09-19-2011, 11:01 AM
Looking for the D and D bolt?? I got ship my hawk back to have it repaired for that broken baffle.

oh9bolt
09-19-2011, 11:09 AM
Yeah there was one on clist in DC and it was posted on here for sale $250, I was the first to respond here and I sent a email responding to the clist ad, but I guess he had selective reading and did a drawing on what email to open first and he said it was sold already. Oh well there will be another.

zaxrex

Yeah, let me know when. I'll pick it up from you.

oh9bolt
09-19-2011, 11:47 AM
I will repaint it when I take it off of the bike if you want.

I am looking for a d&d, drummer, or a front exit pipe. Let me know if you guys see one anywhere for $0-250.

ArmyMP09
09-19-2011, 12:45 PM
Yeah I'm considering finding a d&d. Seems to be the best for the style and price I like the dual cans. I'd love a keada but won't ever afford one so.

I am going to let Chris know and John, my wife will be coming also in her car for the ride.

If you have a leak that's that bad you shouldn't ride it that isn't safe, oil on tires in corners = no bueno! Do you have oil to refill it?

Last time I looked at your front tire it didn't look horrible mine tire looks the same, you should be ok if you can get the leak fixed.

My front tires is really worn where the second compound is and the center is kinda raised up. It turns in really funny sometimes.

Well OK then... Jesse, what time do you want to get rolling on Sunday morning? I'll probably hit the streets really early to get to your place and avoid the traffic.

Haha, true, pay checks are nice, but when its bringing you down hard with them is it worth lowering yourself everyday to get by? When does the pros outweigh the cons, when you're giving so much of yourself up for the money you loose track of who you are.

The water is still high I know that. Just drove across the 14th st bridge and its up there. But watching the dudes repel off the washington moment was badass.

I don't know if Whites ferry is open...

I told Chris we would be down to his house at 11ish so, I say we leave my house at 10ish. Will that work for you guys?
