Hey guys, new here too. Just got my first firebolt 3 weeks ago. Been riding to work as long as its not raining. Get some rancher gloves with thinsulate inside for those mornings. Wish I lived in SoCal.

Word on the skreets is that UNDER ARMOR aside for beging a way old people feel buff again will infact keep you very warm. Also if you are rocking cheetah print G string banana hamocks, switch to long johns.:D

I can confirm this rumor. Not only does it make me feel (more) ripped, I bought the "Tactical Under Armor" (they really do call it "tactical underwear"). So now I'm ripped AND tactical and nobody knows it but me;)

firebolts,
I lived at exit 11 til june. My wife and I bought a house near Amsterdam. About 25 mins from Saratoga Springs. In the 5 years I lived there I never saw another buell. Now that I move away they come in. Its supposed to be nicer on Saturday. Like 55 or so.

dvswim, racepro: where are you guys located? I have been looking for some buellers to ride with in NY, near the capital/hudson valley/adirondack region. Im still riding as well. I have Alpinestar cold weather gloves my wife got me and they are toasty in the AM on my way to work.

Tomorrow is going to be about 60 degrees here in Northeast PA. Compared to the weather we've been having, it's going to feel like summer in the caribbean. I'll be out on my lightning for sure. If anyone is nearby, and wants to meet up, hit me up.

Hello! I'm new, too, to the Buell family. I haven't even had the chance to ride my firebolt, yet- it's too tall. :(

BUT- I live near Houston and, therefore, ride all year! :D

Ride was awesome. I went out Saturday and Sunday. Alittle cooler than I thought it would be. I have ridden into work the last 2 days. It was 48 yesterday when I went in a 5:45am and this morning it was 34. A bit of a swing. My bike runs great when its cool out. How was your ride?

Hey firebolts, did you get out for a ride today? it was around 50 and clear. I got about 60 miles in. Once the sun started going down it started getting cool. Hopefully everybody's getting some good riding in while there is no snow.:(

Well, it got 55 and sunny here in NYC. Too bad I got the flu, otherwise I'd be riding and testing my new heated grips... Oh yeah, they work nice (just like the ones on snowmobiles) !!!

Mid to high 60's here in nor cal sun &sun-though I'd still like a set of heated grips!
I'm taking the bike out to the next job I'm bidding on.
Y'all stay cozy&safe!
