Having said that, waving while you are leaned over and sport riding is stupid and dangerous.  If you do that on a regular basis, you are putting yourself and the person you are waving to in danger.  When I see guys who do that my immediate response is they are noobs and don't know any better.  Wave when it is safe and convenient.  



I usually ride with two fingers on the clutch.  Mid corner they're usually not too busy to flash a peace sign but I'm not up for any more excitement than that.

When you're on the right bike, taking a hand off a grip to wave or "whatever" when cornering isn't an issue.

To get the best corner pics, you must hold your hand out as far as you can with the camera/

No.  We are a bunch of angry, annoyed people right now because of what H-D did.   Twofinger


You may be.

But there are far more very happy NEW Buell customers because of what Harley did..

There are a lot of very happy new buell customers, but how happy do you expect them to stay with the manufacturer gone? If they really love their buell, they'll be unhappy that there won't be any more new buells.

Also, although there are a lot of happy new buell owners this year, that number is soon going to begin to drop significantly, what with there being no more new buells to own once they run out.

Hm, I wonder if Buell will maintain a following of angst filled, bitter motorcyclists who pretend that they don't care about any new motorcycles, but deep down they weep for what could have been...

Sorry, I got a little off topic, but I hope I answered your question, and that we all learned something about butterflies in the process.

i plan on being angsty  Lol

parts through HD for 7 years, buy up spares, wait for the aftermarket to step up.  engine rebuilds with NOS or AEM parts 15 yrs down line.  If the bike makes it that far, i'd say i got damn good use out of it and buy myself a new machine.

Sure thing. Nothing like having multiple bikes for multiple purposes. The only real downside is that you end up having to pay a very large wad of cash each year for tax, inspections, and insurance. Otherwise, it's always a plus to have multiple bikes. Bigsmile

Yep!  If one bike has to go to the stealership, the other one is available!  I was selling my 99 until HD announced the demise of Buell. Now, I'm keeping it.
