Any Buells out in Lincoln County area of MO?

[kalifornia]

[IYAOYAS]

Right on... Plan to cruise up that way this weekend

[kalifornia]

my grandman lives in Troy, I may be out there in september. I live in california now. Hopefully you can find a bueller around there somewhere.

[josh909]

[ROJO]

Hey man...I live in Wentzville. I ride up in your are all the time. You might have seen me. Lets hook up this spring. Here is a pic of my bike. http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/2832_20100321095542_L.jpg

[Defender88]

you gotta be an ordi with that screen name!!!

[ROJO]

I'm not sure what "ordi" means so I assume you're not talking to me. Was that all about?

[Defender88]

Naw im talking to the guy/gal who started the thread.

[IYAOYAS]

Yep 6541

[03Firebolt9R]

Yeah, if your an ordie, your asvab sucks. ;)

[IYAOYAS]

Grunt

[IYAOYAS]

ROJO what fender eliminator did you use.

[stang65pony]

i live in troy! since i got my bike i have only seen one other buell riding around! we should meet up! i actually live right off hwy c in moscow mills. i ride a hero blue lightning long and have a dip**** mohawk on top of my helmet. so if you see me, dont run me over.

[IYAOYAS]

I am off of U Halfway between 61 and J

[ANIMOSITY]

Im over on the east side Of the STL. But am Bikeless at the moment.

[stang65pony]

animosity, arent you on stlmustangs aswell? atleast your name is....

[ROJO]

Its a Rizoma...i won it in the Feb. give away that xtremelow set up. You, Stang65pony and I should def. hook up this spring. I am only 10 min. away from you guys.

[stang65pony]

if any of you local guys want your fender chopped i'll do it for a fraction of what it cost for a new one. its just fun to do really. just throwin that out there.

[IYAOYAS]

I would like to get a look at the work you all have done and I would definately be interested.

[NookieMonster]

I live in Columbia, MO. I am from Montgomery City and know a few people from Troy.

[IYAOYAS]

Stang I thin I have seen you coming up 61 a couple of evenings. What time you head to work? I haven't seen but a couple bikes when I leave about 5:15, see more on the way home though. I will likely drive my car tomorrow, but will be on the bike the rest of the week.

[STL XB12Ss]

I'm right across the river in Edwardsville, IL. Right off of 270. If you guys set up a meet, count me in!

[kalifornia]

hey Stang is there a cemetary at 61 & C on the other side of 61? I spent three summers around there with my grandparents.

[stang65pony]

IYA- im not sure if its me you are seeing or not. i usually leave at 7am and head towards wentzville.

Kali-not sure on the cemetary. there may be one though. i just never payed attention for one though.

as for you locals that want a tail chop done, you can see mine one day when we meet up. i need to prime and re-block it due to a scratch in the bottom side of it but other than that it looks great for not spending 100 plus!!!

[Fireplug111]

I work with a guy that lives in (or around troy) and I know he's riding every day he can... He's got a new cherry bomb ss. I'll have to give him some trouble about getting signed up on here.

I'm in St. Charles myself, or at least I pay bills for a place there. I'm rarely in town...

[Fireplug111]

Wait a minute.... IYAOYAS, where do you work? :)

[stang65pony]

all of us definately need to organise a cruize!!!!!!

[NookieMonster]

Everyone needs to come to Columbia and take the backroads to the lake!

I would love to join you guys in Buell meet but I don't do STL anymore. The farthest I will go is Warrenton.

[Ebeo1]

I second the Columbia idea I think I'm going down to Jefferson city today/tomorrow or this weekend and try out highway 94

[ROJO]

Im in for a ride. Like I said, I live in Wentzville. I have a pretty goofy schedule, but if I am available, I'm in.

[IYAOYAS]

Fireplug, this is Al.

Kali, the cemetary is about midway between U and C on west side of 61.

I think maybe we could all meet up in Warrenton and head to Columbia via the back roads.

[Fireplug111]

Small world Al...

[IYAOYAS]

You said it brother..[cool]

[stang65pony]

i spotted a black and yellow (?) lightning on 70 near wentzville, anyone here? i havent been able (nor will i) to ride to work at all this month. me and a co worker are carpooling due to his license being suspended for a month. but after this weekend my schedule is kinda open till begin of june. lets meet up

[Fireplug111]

I'm STILL in Florida, with no signs of letting up. In fact, we're starting to really get busy. (I won't complain) You guys have fun...

[IYAOYAS]

Who is available on Sunday? Got my whole Saturday honey doing, but open on Sunday.

[stang65pony]

i'll be at the lake all weekend. any of you locals know a good place to go and get my bike tuned?

[IYAOYAS]

Looks like Sunday is blown now too![mad]

[stang65pony]

anyone know a good place to get my bike tuned? its stock with a jardine can and i want to decrease the popping and sputtering. i still need to do the breather re-route too. that may help a little. but im asking for future reference. we all need to ride too.

[ROJO]

Have you tried Gateway HD?

[stang65pony]

thats where i bought the bike and i have considered it but would have to fork over quite a bit im told. i know there are some more privately owned shops. but the only one i can think of is quicktime motorsports (i think thats it). but i was searching for a place that others have used with a good rep.

also; going off of what i described in the above posts, would you think i could benefit from an upgraded ecm? or would a tune fix my problem? i'd rather ask here than pay a harley tech to answer the same questions.

thanks!!!

[IYAOYAS]

Do any of you have a Hawk or Special Op pipe??

[Fireplug111]

Stang, Rudy over at Quicktime has a heck of a reputation for dialing in sportbikes. I don't know if he's done much with Buells, but his reputation is pretty high on the others. It might be worth calling him. If you're heading East on 70, just before Cave Springs exit you'll see the large U-Haul building on your left (the north side). If you turn in there, and head north, you'll see his shop on the end of a metal building. I've never dealt with him personally, but I've heard some pretty wicked bikes come in and out of there. I used to do some side work in the same building...

[Fireplug111]

Iyaoyas, I hear a lot of good things about Odie at Special Ops. But If I had a dollar for every post I've read about how hard he is to get a hold of or get a response out of, I could probably buy one of his pipes. Which sucks... i wanted a set of his heat blankets for my scg...

[stang65pony]

thanks fire, im going to run the bike by there and see what they recommend. im going to do the breather re-route first and see how much trouble that eliminates.

[IYAOYAS]

Do you think the breather routing has anything to do with your poping issue?

[stang65pony]

i think its mostly the exhaust at it making it run leaner (from what i've learned on here) but i was going to do all my mods that could possibly have an effect on performance now, then have them tune it all at once so i wont have to do it again. i'll probably stop by there next week sometime and see what they want to tune it. im getting ready to do the breather re-route right now. need to find a catch can i like.

[IYAOYAS]

Did you see the little NOS bottle one? You can get those at the gas station, they are one of those energy drinks. I think if I bothered with it I would go with that.

[stang65pony]

well i did it tonite! got a wild hair up my ass and started taking crap apart. for now im just using about a 15'' of hose as a catch can with a petcock in the end. i will be starting to make my own catchcan tomorrow. im just using some small diameter exhaust tubing (about a 4-5'' piece) and the petcock in the bottom and a male hose fitting up top. gotta weld caps over the ends of coarse. and i'll paint it up for now till i get around to having tim powdercoat it.

btw did you have tim do your bars? i try to throw him as much work as possible.

but the breather was easy as can be and i'd be more than happy to help

[IYAOYAS]

Is he at powder coat specialists on Midland?

[stang65pony]

midland? lol no he is independant and works out of his garage. does a great job though. where is this place you speak of?



i think in a few weeks we all should ride out to fast eddies or somethin.

[IYAOYAS]

Sounds like a good idea.

[IYAOYAS]

Stopped by Big St Charles tonight. Only saw 2 other Buells. Didn't see you there Stang. Got my bars on and I love the look.:D

[ROJO]

Keep me in the loop guys. BTW, the Stefaninas Express on Zumbehl Rd. is my place. Stop by if your in the area, or send me a message if you guys get together. I have a difficult schedule, but a ride to Fast Eddies sounds great. If I'm off, I'm in.

[stang65pony]

iya, i think i seen you as you were heading out. i was the dip**** in the orange long sleeve shirt pointing directly at you right outside the doors of the building lol. we'll figure it out one day lol. yeah rojo your not far at all. we'll have to meet up for a bike night at show me's or hooters too. cheap food for moto people. cant go wrong. oh and big waitress bewbage mmmmmmmmm

[wb5plj]

just had to throw in here though not for any good reason. Im in the Jefferson City MO Area. Seen a few Buell's around but mostly people on Harleys asking what kind of bike I am riding :-(

[stang65pony]

im wanting to go to the lake of the ozark bike rally thing but i am told its mostly just at one campground. thats near you in a ways. i may just go down there for the weekend at least.

[lawsxb12]

Ordinance is for the monkeys!! haha!! I was AVI....for 10 years...well as a reservist..tampon..weekend warrior..part timer..what ever you wanna call it. I'm a TX buell guy though. Never saw a buell on an MCAS though so good on ya for not falling into the import side.

[IYAOYAS]

It is spelled ORDNANCE, I remember AVI being for tards....:D When did you serve in the reserves? I was at NAS Fort Worth from 97 to 2000. Maybe you blew one of my weekends. Miss Texas alot, especially all the motorcross riding.

[lawsxb12]

Hahaha...hey what ever works. You left as i got there. I have been there from late 2000 to current...well I just checked out recently due to the new tattoo policy...I cant put in for warrant officer any longer sense they changed it, so Im done. It was a good 10 years though!!

[IYAOYAS]

That is a bummer, I had a gea time in myself. Lots of good memories and some great people. Hate seeing all the b.s. pc stuff coming down the pipe. My DI's had tats on their arms and cussed like sailors at us. Those were good times.
