Hi fellow buelligans bit about myself 1st bike FS1E [ ragged it everwhere ] at 17yrs got RD250 and then RD400 . Gave up bikes when married but eventually got "black bin bagged" and returned to my true love with a RD600 . Great bike but my back and body wasnt up to a racing crouch anymore . One trip to HD and after a brief test ride i was sold it had to be a BUELL ! On my second XB12S now [ those who live in Mch area may have seen me - ime the bloke wiv the big grin inside his lid ] . I attend bulldog every year and also M A G events and will hopefully meet you all at some BUELL events this year. Happy new year - RIDE ON ! |

Hi and welcome , only joined myself at the weekend . The first bike i owned was a bsa bantam sport ,1973 ( showing my age now ) , we used to ride out to Leysdown out on the isle of sheppey in kent without crash helmets in those days , going downhill with the throttle to the stop and a following hurricane you could just touch fifty , those were the days , last summer i went down the road without my helmet on for a giggle and i spent most of the time wiping the tears from my eyes and swallowing flies , i am sure it used to be more fun than that . Got rid of a Yamaha Maxim x for the Buell xb12 , that was a good bike but a bit thirsty, i still like flat fours , wwhat i need is a stable for all the bikes i want .enjoy life . |

Never got one but grew up with pics of Laverda Jotas on me bedroom wall and never managed to own one of them either - arh well theres always the lottery... just need to buy a ticket! PS my first taste of bikes was on my dads old ariel square four what warped your mind to bikes ? |
