You can't ride a house but you can sleep under the bike.

Tell me about it. I want another bike so bad. Wish I never saled my ninja 250.

What? and this is the bike and brand HD killed? I'm telling ya, something is really wrong with a company, when it owns another that is just hitting its stride and then chopped down at the knees.

Did you read this article? The Buell came out on top, too.

I have a RED Cr. Almost bought the Black but the higher "bar kit" was on the red one.
Recently installed a set of braced "City X" handlebars and 1/2" drop pegs on my CR.
The idea is to eventually put the hand guards off my ULLY on this bike too. Really
increased the comfort level. I have XB12 Lightning bars on my Ully and love that
change also. The key is buying another upper handle bar clamp bar, turning it upside
down, and using it to lift the bars another inch. This takes up cable slack and makes
bars easier to reach. It is hard to beat the stock ride on a ULLY but this is sportier.
One of the things I love about Buells, so many of the parts interchange. The range
of comfort for my CR went from 50 miles (stock) to about 150 miles with these mods.
The ULLY was stock and still is with my mods "all day" comfortable.

Of course the silver lining is we got ahold on one before it was too late.

Gary -- I'll have to see if I can get home before it gets too dark. That didn't happen today. Sorry.

Even this month's HOG has an article on Buell.

Very nice!

I'm next in line behind Bill.

Just wanted to let anyone interested know that Mancuso off of 290 has more "R's" and "CR's". Ask for Denis O'brien at 281-897-7115. Tell him Matthew or Ron sent you...supposed to be a great deal ($6,500).

If anybody with the CR's would post up a photo from the rider's view, that'd be cool.

Gary... I was thinking I forgot to do something. That was it! I promise I'll do that this weekend (it's too dark by the time I get home these days).
