Hello to everyone. I am afraid that I am yet another new member from the South West - Portishead to be exact. I currently ride a Buell Ulysses and am about to purchase a 900SS before my back stiffens and I can't bend anymore. Here's to getting acquainted with you all.
Welcome. I thought about a Lightning for a bit before I bought my Z1000. What is the Buell like to ride?
Hi I am Portishead too, Red 999S and a Black and White MV Brutale, bound to see you around sooner or later. That,s 3 of us on here now from Portishead, almost enough for our own club:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
Hello and welcome to the forum. What's going on down your way? Loads of Duke riders down there, is it something special in the water?
Hi Matt. I like the Buell - plenty of torque and a wonderful noise. Need inside leg of 34" to stop it falling over when you come to a stop, otherwise a bike full of real character. It's easy to maintain and parts remain readily accessible, especially from USA. I would strongly recommend one. I sold a KTM Duke to get the Buell and have never regretted the decision. I have an old 620cc Duke sat in the garage and hope to get it back on the road over this winter.
Hi Archer, I think that it has more to do with Riders ability to sell Ducatis! With a showroom in Bristol and in Bridgwater they have good coverage. And do a good cup of tea. You know how it is, pop in for a tea and come out with a Diavel under your jacket.
Hi mate and welcome on board from another Portishead resident! 3 and counting from our little town that's not bad going! cheers
Why not organise a meet up for the 3 of us in Portishead, bikes, coffee and chat, could meet on the see front or open air pool if the cafe is still open??
