I own a lightning 12s and have had it for over a year. It’s the best bike I have ever owned, I even got one of my mates to get one.
I was gutted when I found out that that Buell were not making bikes anymore and thought I should do my part and be part of Buell history by joining g this group of dedicated Buell owners.
I live in Crowborough East Sussex and get out on my bike when I can.

Greetings, welcome to the group.

Crowborough is deepest darkest East Sussex, although it's pretty close to Ogri's (or whatever they are called this week) in Horam and handy for the A272 and a load more besides.

More of a West Sussex boy, myself, though. :D

Hello PC 11010! Mate, after riding your Lightning the other day I was sold. I just hope Shaws can get one in for me. I've never felt so comfortable on the twist and turns. Do you want to buy a GSXR 600?!
Chris.

while fitting new disc , the amount of crud not allowing springs to spring was drilled out and the new disc is now springing freely , maybe the cause of the old disc not being able to spring about and when gettign hot getting warped.

cheers
