Hindight is 20/20 and we got the damn thing back on. I've only ridden a Buell once, and it was this guys. We swapped his Buell for my Honda one night heading to Denny's. I will never own or ride a Buell again. I'm not hating mind you, I simply have a preference for the riding position of my RC over his XB, and the fact that I can shift my RC out of first when leaned over with no problems.
