 Post subject: New to Buell
PostPosted: 18 Sep 2011 18:14 
Hello,
I am new to riding a Buell, having bought an XB12 Firebolt in June. I have riden for 35 years but I have never enjoyed myself as much as I have on my Buell. What a ride. I also have an 07 RoadKing and have owned very many marques, over the years.Unfortunately my Firebolt's engine has let go. I thought about letting the bike go for a week or so but got over that soon after meeting one of our site moderators at a Little Chef in Oswestry: glipsing the righteous enthusiasm that there is in Britain for these truly unique machines - I am never going to let it go. This site is brilliant and so much good advice just flies about. I will be posting a note on the "Wanted" section - for an engine. I am in Wiltshire and hope to meet-up with some subscribers in the months to come.

Great to be here. :D)

Graeme

PS. Ignore the dummy spitting, handbagging etc episodes that occur from time to time - they generally turn out to be really funny lOl
