He got pissed and ownt talk to me anymore.

screw him. i ride with a bunch of guys, and all of them are impressed with the buell and not real happy with harley for dumping them. i can live just fine without small minded people around me.

I'd like a Cruiser when I'm like 40. but until then. Buell it is!

YO. That kinda talk can cost ya rep points!

And whoever thinks that when they get to "that age" to ride a cruiser, then they dont have very high expectations of themselves.

That's a great point. Anybody notice how old Keith Code is? Anybody actually know how old Miguel DuHamel is?

Old

I can see myself riding something more cruiser-like when I get older. Not because I'll think I'm old and should be on a cruiser, but just because I know that I've made a transition from being 17 and wanting the fastest sportbikes so I could ride around at never less than 90mph, to being in my mid/late 20s and enjoying a bike that's a little more upright, and a little more fun to ride at more reasonable speeds, while still being fast, so who's to say that 20 years from now I won't prefer my feet to be a little bit more forward and my seat a little cushier, so I can be comfortable just cruising?

At the same time though, my idea of something fun to cruise on would be the bike above minus the clipons, something like a Honda cb550 with some lowrise bars, or if I'm not too old and weak, something like a zrx1100/1200.

myronman - the first guy was a douche and was acting like one, so I treated him like one. The second guy was a friend of mine, I can talk to him like that :)

I defend my bike till the end cause NO ONE believes in it and Erik like I do in my circle of friends which is HUGE! I wouldnt trade my 1125 for any Jap bike on the market, ever... And yeah, its a little annoying when people call it a Harley. The battery is, not the bike.

i always get **** for riding a Buell...

other bikers on Japcrap bikes yell out "hows your Harley air compressor..."

my response "my air compressor still kicks your bikes ass off the mark and out maneuvers your japa in the twisties... and was half the price of yours..."

i have rode harleys for several years. still own a 2006 vrod and my wife rides a 2005 flstf. i ride my 1125r now more than the vrod. both are great bikes and are fun. they are just two different riding styles. i do not get any crap from anyone. most people tell me that they like my buell. my 1125r is the first buell that i have owned. it is a keeper.
