First ride of the Season on a Buell XB9XS in... Berlin!

j420 · 03-16-2008

Well I had my first ride in about 8 months ! :lol:

Tested out a brand new Buell XB9XS on the mean streats of Berlin. After signing a form with a high $4500 Canadian deductible... :shock: I headed out.

I had the memory of the horrible buell blast in my head, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything about the bike is great - comfy upright position, badass rumbling engine, fairly smooth shifting.

Only problem was the bloody thing kept stalling and refusing to idle in busy traffic. So I had to push it off the road a coupla times. hehe.

but I survived, and I am a changed man.

I now like Buells

Yeah, the first half an hour was pure bliss before the trouble started.
