    Default Many different passions....


    For me I can not make up my mind what I like best. Fishing, predator hunting, traveling, and of course motorcycling. Yes I know it was a great day but I chose to to spend it doing something I truly am passionate about. Motorcycling....I have several bikes and I like them all but my Buell Ulysses just flat out rocks. It has a Harley inspired 1200cc sportster motor in it that Eric Buell Racing improved on.

    As a dual sport bike its at home hammering through old 2 lane black top twisties dragging pegs here in the Flint Hills area or smoking down the endless miles of gravel roads we have. I use to do quite a bit of motorcycle camping or as my wife calls it "wandering lost" with friends.


    I ride close to 300 days a year except in snow and ice (working on that problem) including when its freezing cold or wet out. I just put my insulated / rain gear on and just except it.....well most days. Earlier in the week when its was 16f when I left out for work I was not so sure I could "just except it". But the afternoon was great. Planning an Alaska motorcycle trip this coming summer for my 50th birthday....getting old.

    Any other riders out there as I would love to see your ride and if the opportunity presented itself to maybe ride sometime.

    Nice ride Kag.
    Love riding, but we only do it in the dirt. Two many hazards / people on the road for me till the kids get a little older. Heres our little family flock.

    This one is my pride and joy right now, but I need to sell it before I get hurt. Worked on it all summer. YZ250F bored to a 270, heads and cylinder done by Forward Motion, FMF Q4 exhaust, Jetted stage 2, had to detune it to be rideable for me but man what a rush, pretty close to catching a big fish or pulling the trigger on something.

    I like it man. Family riding is great. I am tracking hard on it being easy to put way too much wrist into and maybe getting into trouble

    I have 2 yamaha TW200's that we ride around on ride around on. Taught many people to ride using them including my wife and her girlfriends. Each of whom afterward bought a 883's sportster and each continue to ride. My Harley Ultra spends quite a bit of time in the garage because I just love my Buell.


    I made the wiskey Barrel trailer

    If you every went to get together and do Fenwick its a fantastic spot, and those rolling mountain roads would be big fun for the Buell. We love Fenwick, ride there for 3 days and not get hurt or stuff broke and you've done something, something we call big fun.
