This Sunday don't know what time. Probably some time around noon Jrage and I are going down to the flood wall in downtown STL to grab some pics and from there we're just going to ride the rest of the day. Anybody that wants to go is more then welcome. I know it's football Sunday but the Rams suck anyway lmao.

I was just in STL for an interview at SLU. Small world. Cool city and great med school. Wouldn't mind moving there in Summer 2012 when med school starts up.

Kid1620
09-29-2011, 02:04 PM
Yeah we're getting a bunch of pics down there then probably out 94 to the vineyards. From there I dont know

d_adams
09-29-2011, 02:06 PM
Watch out for the wine tasters.

Want a similar route to 94? Look for St. Albans on the other side of the river. I think it's Route T.

Kid1620
09-29-2011, 02:07 PM
Yeah we were thinking about hitting that to

Loki
09-29-2011, 02:16 PM
Im going camping this weekend. I wish i was around, i didnt know we had so many around STL.

d_adams
09-29-2011, 02:20 PM
I saw a white firebolt yesterday on Hwy K in Ofallon. I know of another that is right around the 270/370 area, it's black(& maybe red) and looks like it has (possibly) a spec ops pipe on it. I know where the owner works, I work for the same company, just a different building. Pretty sure I saw that guy this morning on the way into work.

Kid1620
09-29-2011, 02:32 PM
Yeah there are a lot of us around here hopefully we get some more would be sweet

ANIMOSITY
09-29-2011, 08:22 PM
I didn't realize that there were so many either. Im just across the river on the IL side. Ive seen a few in the last couple of years but its rare.

For me, when I ride and see another Buell out, its like seeing the Great White Buffalo.

Hey fellas. I live in Wentzville. I would love to go, but it is my little girls 8th birthday. I own the Stefaninas on Zumbehl Rd. in St. Charles. You have proly seen me going one way or the other on 70. I ride anytime the weather works. I would love to hook up with you all sometime. Here is a shot right when I was leaving the store last night. I love the light shining off her.http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/2832_20110929144502_L.jpg

09-29-2011, 09:37 PM

So here's the plan I came up with meet up Sunday around 11:30 to 12:00 at the landing in front of the arch. Then hit the floodwall then head out west stop somewhere along the way and grab something to eat

ROJO

**** yea!!!!!! ST Louis is rocken all NICE!!!!! Buells, and a good mix too. I know two more guys who ride Buells here in Saint louis, i will let them know about the ride.

brightbuell
09-30-2011, 12:39 PM
ROJO I live in Saint Louis and have not had my bike out there, except maybe once, so there has to be another 09 blue and white bolt out there somewhere. I grew up in Saint Charles, i know one of your employees i was friends with his sister Rachel, a young guy named Charley Perry worked for you?

JRage
09-30-2011, 02:03 PM
Yea there is quite a few of us we just like to hide. Time to come out of the wood work. :)

brightbuell
09-30-2011, 03:13 PM
I agree! If your anything like us, when we see a Buell we point and freak out "THERE'S A BUELL!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Like spotting an airplane when your stranded on a deserted island.

Like ANIMOSITY said" Its like seeing the Great White Buffalo" and its always going the wrong direction on the HWY, or its going way too fast to catch up.

d_adams
10-02-2011, 06:01 PM
Video will be posted, it was a pretty decent ride (except for the cars!) and I had a fun time. Glad I got to make it, wasn't sure I'd get that tire changed in time. Broke it in right with some slides while accelerating, best one was the Olive ramp out to 270. Didn't get that one on video though.

I have about 5.2 gb to upload, it will take all night probably, it's all in 1080. I watched some of it and the blurring effects on Wild Horse Creek road from the sunlight through the trees is pretty cool.

10-02-2011, 09:01 PM
Sorry im missing a couple pics of bikes, i did my best. I think its because we had two show up late. I really wanted to get one of everyone. Oh well next time. I had the best time. It was a blast the weather was killer and during the ride the scenery was beautiful. I want to thank every one for showing up it was so ****ing sick to hear all those Buells especially with those who invested in loud exhaust systems. We were turning heads for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that 1125R Holy ****!! That sounded Great!! We need to stay in touch guys and do this more often. We dont have to do such a long day, but we could do 3 to 5 people and do lunch and alternate one week do a City Ride, and the next time do another Rural route.

Kid1620
10-02-2011, 09:31 PM
I had a great time besides the damn traffic and that firetruck or what ever it was. Glad everyone had fun and nobody got hurt and nobody went down. All in all to quote ice cube

Today was a good Day

JRage
10-02-2011, 10:14 PM
agreed! weather was nice and awesome roads to ride no one went down even though some close calls can't ask for anything more.

d_adams
10-03-2011, 03:19 AM
Here's one of them. This was the boring part except the beginning. It's in 1080, so if you want to see it in better quality, go to youtube to watch it.

Here's the better one, skip the first 6 minutes though, just sitting at the gas station, waiting on everyone.

I hope I can make it to the next one, or the one after that...or hopefully a future one.... there needs to be another 1125 in that group :D

JRage
10-03-2011, 09:35 AM
needs to be a bigger line of buells i think :D

Loki
10-03-2011, 11:03 AM

It was a spur of the moment decision

d_adams
10-03-2011, 11:08 AM
I somehow ended up as lead, I know most of the area well enough to get around.

I grew up in Troy and ended up in Ofallon, so this was my normal riding area.

STL XB12Ss
10-03-2011, 11:18 AM
Hey Dean, did you happen to get any footage when you had the camera facing the rear?

brightbuell
10-03-2011, 11:45 AM
Yea, we need to put a cam at the back of the group facing forward so we can see the bikes in action. Or one at the front of the group facing back so you can see the bikes. That would be the ****. Those vids were good to, i felt like i was on a roller coaster when i watched them on youtube. I had a little cam i should have brought. I forgot. Nothing as nice as your set up. I would have to duct tape it to my bike. Looking back we were pushing those bikes pretty fast as the day went on we went faster and faster. That was a really good EXP. [up]:D

d_adams
10-03-2011, 12:23 PM
Double post, sry.

d_adams
10-03-2011, 12:25 PM
Unfortunately I did not get any useful footage with the rear facing mount. Either the card was full (haven't checked it yet) or the battery gave up early. I got about 5 seconds and it shut off. I will try to get different angles next time if I can.

I thought the pace was fairly relaxed, guess I should slow down some for a reality check.

JRage
10-03-2011, 12:51 PM
I'm getting a cam for next time also so we can have multiple views

Kid1620
10-03-2011, 12:51 PM
I went to the back so I could get Some distance on everyone because I kept catching up lol.

Didnt want anyone to get over confident to try to follow what I was doing.

STL XB12Ss
10-03-2011, 04:33 PM
needs to be a bigger line of buells i think

agreed. so when's the next one? [cool]

stang65pony
10-03-2011, 04:47 PM
i'll bring my gopro next time too.

so of the locals around me, which of you is capable of tuning my 09? if i can get it tuned locally (and not by a shop that THINKS they can tune it) i'll probably keep the buell. at least keep it longer any how :)

d_adams
10-03-2011, 05:26 PM
I have the cable if you need it. I also have a 10" netbook, although I'm loath to let it go very far from me. I'm sure something can be worked out. I also have tunerpro already loaded on it and it appears to work.

Have you done anything to it at all? Just the pipe so far with no tuning or has it been modded some?

stang65pony
10-03-2011, 09:40 PM
So far it has breather re route
Pipe
Open air box
Ebr ecm


Thats it performance wise. I have a k & n waiting but its lean enough as is.

I have a laptop. We should meet up and curse at my bike together lol

brightbuell
10-03-2011, 11:02 PM
You already have an EBR ECM? I wonder did you mess with the bike before you put the EBR ECM on it?

stang65pony
10-04-2011, 06:10 PM
yeah i have the ebr ecm tuned for a jardine. never tried anything with the stock computer which i still have. just put the ecm in and did a tps reset.

d_adams
10-04-2011, 06:17 PM
So exactly what's the problem with it? It looked like it had plenty of power for doing wheelies on Sunday.

stang65pony
10-04-2011, 06:50 PM
i had it dyno'd last year or the year before idk. but it only makes 89hp at the wheel and is running almost TOO lean. i really just want to richen it up and i guess make it more reliable. the easier the better really. but most of the time it pulls pretty good but sometimes it acts like a dog

d_adams
10-04-2011, 07:10 PM
What did it make in totally stock trim? What makes you say it's too lean? Got wideband O2's on it, front and rear?

Where was it dyno'd at?

jefferyfriso
03-13-2012, 11:17 PM
So when are us St. Louis Buellers gonna get together and cruise?
