Fuel in the frame and oil in the swinging arm :) Keeps everything compact and the exhaust that weighs a ton acts like a keel on a boat.

Probably asking for a pull without baffles, it's a lot quieter with 8inch baffles - question is if I make em 4inch baffles would they be half loud and half quiet?

When Dock Gate 20 opened in Southampton we booked a Buell day test ride , i had the XBR thunderbolt thingy and my mate had the other one, We had them for 4 hrs and it was simply awesome. They looked great etc. We did the swanage trip through the forest and ferry etc. Great day. I really considered being one. The handling was great etc, small butt end basically everything i liked. 3 months later i went back to have another look and that same bike was there and looked 10 years old, rusty in places and the engine was dull and furry. Now daily down to the shop but it looked sad and like it had never been washed etc. It put me right off. Now the newest one looks like it has front panniers it looks totally naff.

I went to looms the other day and a Girlie was on a silver one, it had the underslung Remus can and it was lovely. She had a great elbow too.

Cool, I have the XB9R with LSL bar conversion. The new Buells are EBR. I'd love one like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Buell-EBR-ERI ... 2031806918
