Mudkip got an africa twin?!?!?!

So jelly

Erik buell hated it so much he bought the remaining stock and had them crushed into cubes.

I don't have to prove anything to you because the creator of the bike already has.

Not that i'm an expert but i'd like to see them make a 600-700cc liquid cooled DOHC V-twin that they can put into a naked, a sport tourer, and an ADV bike, and maybe even a supersport.

I'd like to see a source for that. From what I noticed, it was more because Harley Davidson preferred a tax writeoff over waiting for them to be sold.
Same here. Maybe they'll start once they stabilize their finances and can afford more R&D.

couple weeks ago m8
where you been?

That he makes idiotic corporate decisions and has no business running a company? He already proved that by bending over and spreading his asscheeks for HD and by running EBR into the ground once all by himself.

Yet another reason why Buell is god tier.

I just finished reading that article and I am pure halite.

I've been scraping up money and letting psychology students perform experiments on me so I can afford a longboard to ride off a cliff with since it appears a bike is further down the road than I thought
I hope you get some nice scenic pics of it.

Neck yourself you stupid cunt. The blast was the worst bike Buell made and Erik Buell admits to it.

this is a troll meme right

EBR is still alive, you know. Although Erik himself is an engineer, not the CEO. Although him accepting HD's idiotic terms is valid criticism.

my old

cycleworld.com/2009/09/01/buell-cubed

Anyone remember Buell user that used to post here?

Had a couple of them done up with holographic striping or some shit. Anyone save those pics?

been trying, hard to get a lot of free time to ride lately.
still need to armor it up anyways.

why dont you start working the streets at night, should pay well enough for a bike

We've had a couple Buell anons

>tfw almost bought a buell blast as my first bike

i need one for my bike

>EBR is still alive
is it? I Thought that they were bought by a company that had a reputation as a liquidation house. Are they actually making any new motorcycles?

Yeah baird I remember that guy. He was the only buell owner I really liked. Not only did I save some pics, I shooped some paint schemes so he could see what they looked like before he painted them.
I miss him

damn did a nigga with a buell fuck your bitch lmao

>longboard
Are you aspiring to be one of those downhill maniacs? Just the 'big' hills in my neighborhood scare the shit out of me. They're fun on smooth flat grounds but fuck, how do you learn how to coleman slide without killing yourself the first try?
Before I had the money to afford a motorcycle I just rode a shitty mtn bike around everywhere. At least they have brakes and you can wheelie.

That company sold most of the assets to some rider CEO who's running it now. They're currently hand building a few hundred bikes a year with their 16 employees, no one's really sure where they're going now.

God damn it. All the apartments I want are either unavailable and have a 6 month to 1 year waiting list or they only want old people. On the upside, if I can get in I'll have a very reasonable rent. They're about 500-750 a month for two bedrooms.
Yes, if their website has any say in it.
erikbuellracing.com/
They even list dealers and have a page for leaving deposits for a new bike.

No, I actually like buells quite a bit. But the blast is shit and will always be shit.

>Harley Davidson Night Rod: $26,992
>Kawasaki H2: $25,000

then quit being a faggot and dont ride one stupid faggot lmao

>They're about 500-750 a month for two bedrooms
What the fuck. I pay 820 a week for a two bedroom

gribbiy?

I was considering selling my plasma for $75 for two hours but after a guy died there a few months ago that's out of the question, I collapsed the last time I donated blood so whatever. I'll continue earning like $5 to pander to the psychology kids.

Need some new wallpapers eventually though. Nice webm, can you power wheelie it like the DR?
I miss the feel of wheels and speed so yeah, I'm gonna go sanic up in this bitch. Left my mountain bike at home, did top it out at 33mph though downhill lol.
>how do you learn how to coleman slide without killing yourself the first try?
It's time to run balls to the wall, I really need something to occupy me nowadays.

Shitholes have their advantages. I found one as cheap as $450, but old people only.

I've seen a few Blasts on CL for $1000 or less. I know their reputation but (god forgive me) I think they look neat. I wonder if one day they will be cheap enough that I'd be willing to buy one as a shitbike just so I can scratch that itch.

>guy posts blast is gud prove me wrong
>proves him wrong
>quit being a stupid faggot lmao

Yeah ok buddy

Thousand or less puts it in shitbike territory

still on the initial break in so i haven't tried the big wot willies yet, it doesn't even hesitate in 1st though

Calm down nerd

Mad. Please tell me it's the manual shift...

Oh Jesus. I just got "a week" part. My puny wage couldn't cover that.

yep, not paying extra for a fatter scooter.
sounds like they've been having a few issues with the DCT too, i think this is the biggest bike they've put it on so im not too surprised at growing pains

Looks pretty good though, I dig it.

Kill yourself my man

Ugh want to go for a ride but it feels like my fucking brain is trying to escape from its home.

You first

Not trolling, but does any manufacturer currently make something that fits user's list?

Besides HD, who makes bikes with self adjusting valves?

EFI pretty much replaces autochoke.

Belt drives are reliable but o/x-ring chains are too now. Not as reliable but much better then older chain tech.

Nothing else uses that weird golfball-skin plastics now?

Fuckit, post features you'd like to see in a new interesting bike.

?

Dude moved on to hondas.

the handling is great too, like a big dirtbike for the most part.
feels lighter than the DR when moving

Oh yeah? Does it seat like a dual sport or more of a comf touring?

Yeah I remember, but he stopped posting

gribbiy was a dude from here that made an SVG for me once, I know there's a bunch of graphicsfags on here, thought you were him

We /cursed/ now. Thanks firebladeanon. Hopefully since you spilled blood on the sticker when you killed her the skid demon is sated and it won't destroy my bike again.

Also I'm currently moving the footage from our ride onto my computer. Expect incoming memetastic webms.

like a DS all around really, but a much better seat for long hauls
probably taking it to moab in april if i cant find more people to truck down with for proper shitbiking

The skid demon is never sated.

user, a 13k bike is far beyond shitbike category.

if i can find a ggroup to ride with for moab ill be taking my XR and a truck.
otherwise itll be my annual ADV trip

>offcenter sticker

Like deep down I wouldn't be surprised if he died cause he did some crazy awesome stuff, but like a lot of people they just come and go.

Glad you're still here bby.

Ah okay, makes sense. A lot of the guys here are pretty good with gfx.
Lol what did he do this time?
>nigga put dbt sticker on fender
Wait for it, skid demon incoming
Good to know. You think it's somewhat simple to flick around the woods like a proper DS?
>that negative instrument cluster
Hnnnng. How much did it run you, if ya don't mind telling?

That's a shitbike alright.

>but like a lot of people they just come and go
rip
tiamat
blurple
juke
sawath
amerifag
cavilierlulz
moffman

don't remember anyone else off the top of my head

A /dbt/ with my bike on op's pic!

Fuck you m8. At least make fun of the picture being sideways.

Also the sticker is centered. The tank protector, however, is like 1/2" off center.

>Wait for it, skid demon incoming
IIRC the skid demon is like a fuckboy where it only hits your bike once and then stays away to keep it from catching feelings, so bike is all safe. :)

youtube.com/watch?v=gMdRyU7c9tU
brilliant illustration of how a talented rider can go fast on anything

13k, no one is haggling on them yet since the demand is and will be high for a while.

used to be a lot more of a shitbike

We were all discussing how HD fucked Erik Buell so I thought it'd make a nice segway to keep the discussion going. How's the bike?

Go home Honda, you're not French.

Are those speakers or fans on your sportbike?

Tiamat comes on like once every year, he probably stopped since his trip was found out.
Blurple died
Juke died
Amerifag definitely died after getting cucked lmao
Sawath is awol
Moffman is like Tiamat, pops up every now and then.

Happened already? Story time!
>sick quads

Anyone have any experience with honda's newest 500cc bikes? The F, X, and R models are all just reskins of eachother right? Any personal anecdotes other then "honda a shit"?

The whole story of his Agusta revolves around the fact that he had to wait for his parts overnighted from Italy.

I'm friends with Juke on Facebook, he's married (engaged?) with nobike

no u

stuck a couple of those on my impreza, kek

isnt' that another way of saying "dead"?

Ayy, good on him.
He better still have that damned Sonic mug.

Yeah but you put that sticker on to taunt him

Not until he has kids

>Ayy, good on him.

I'm going insane. It's only 9:30 I need to do something tonight. Help.

Go to bed. Download Artificial Academy 2, some waifus, and fuck them.

Jack off and shitpost

I've been doing this for like 48 hours straight I need to do something else

why arent you putting the master cylinder back together?

Find yourself another hobby to dive into and submerse yourself with knowledge of. /k/'s nice.

Alternatively, want to do my homework?

Oh christ, you poor thing.

CSGO?

It was an ugly mess and he has no way of washing it.

Go for a ride on the pig

The rebuild kit is in my buddies car - an hour away - at my exgf's brothers' house - and he won't drive it up to me, and I can't go there for obv reason. and I need a pick and carb cleaner

Already have a whole 300BLK SBR build planned out... what's your HW?

Desktop is in NY, new OpenGL drivers have it crashing on my laptop (linux)

no front brakes... maybe tho

>Webms when?
Now m8.

You've got a rear brake right? Go take some pics of it at the golden gate bridge or something

Go ride to harbor freight with the rear brake only
