Ha! I love puns

Very very interesting. Always love to see these guys questioning the mainstream.

Ha! Those are rookie numbers! I think mine have a date code of 2007. Not sure why I'm so proud of this. LOL

I looked today. It seems like I'm still in lead for "biggest loser", but not by as much as I thought. 0714, so mid Feb 2014.

It's happening, my friends. On Saturday, she will be mine. Eager to take my first spin on a Buell that isn't a Ulysses or a Blast. I'll post pics and probably a video in the member's bikes forum.

The seller seems like a super cool guy and takes really good care of his vehicles. Stoked to get my hands on a "creampuff".

Congratulations! Yes, pics please I'm sure you'll love it! Sounds like it will fit you much better anyway

Some of the tire age issue comes from Uncle Sam. DOT on passenger and light trucks tires cannot legally be installed or repaired after 5 years old. Also Comercial tires casings cannot be retreaded if over five years old.
But there’s more.
Rubber break hoses and any tire over 10 years old DOT says to replace them.

So 34:19 ride the snot out of those tires this year !
