I'm one of the lucky ones that have never owned one ;)
Rode most of the range (that were available at the time) never done an Uly!
Can't knock any of the experiences, they're fun bikes with clever design,without a doubt I can see the appeal they have for certain riders
I'm a bit "old skool".... carburettor, fuel in a tank and a front brake you can trail into a corner

So you've not ridden a bike for the last 10 years, you've never owned a fueller or done any significant mileage yet you cane them at any available opportunity. On what basis? heresay?, others experience?. As a member of a buell forum with a dwindling membership don't you and that other gobshite that canes xb's from the south coast think that you are ukbegs downfall. Lets put it like this. Joe bloggs with his xbr/s 9/12 takes the the trouble to become a member of this esteemed establishment to ask a technical question he can't find the answer to on his own, to be told you bought a bag 'o' shite, its the bic of the bike world, buy a tuber. FFS it's a BUELL forum not a TUBER forum.So what's Joe bloggs gonna think. the answer is 'what a bunch of wankers' and never comes back, hence the dwindling membership. Maybe it's time to wise up and just comment on you're own experience or do the forum a favour and fuck off. Just thinking aloud ....Dave H

If people that ride motorcycles have no sense of humour then maybe it's not the pasttime for them

Well in that case, with all your experience, would you care to edify us all to the ease of home maintainance, comfort and general reliability over the countless thousands of miles you had on all the XB's you have encountered?
