XB12X Picture Thread

The u-turn was for this. Not great, but OK.

ERD and sfarson, those are both very nice. more please.
ERD, how about some more pics of that HD in the hack section? (I also hang around there a bit.)

Steve, Just got back from my CO trip yesterday and Thursday I rode Trail Ridge west to east on a perfect morning, Thanks a million for your work on your book and websites.

To the rest of you folks drooling over sfarsons pics: buy his book and get out to CO. It is amazing on a bike.

So amazing I'm thinking about buying a Uly and leaving it in a storage unit in Denver so I can skip the 1,200 mile each way arrow straight ride from Indiana. That's what I was plotting the whole time I was out there

BigE... Thanks, and glad you had a great and memorable, ride and trip.

I've almost moved a bike. Found myself in NW Arkansas every 2-4 weeks on business, and thought long and hard about placing a bike in a self storage warehouse there. Almost did it.

Coincidently, treated the Uly to a couple of HDR pics today on a ride through South Park...


The sun/clouds kindly cooperated with a lit up Bald Mountain at 13,684ft...

Wow... nice pictures!

NO way for me to compete with that so here is a pic taken from my buddies cell phone:

Riding into work outside of Calgary as the sun rises over my Shoulder.

CO is a long way from home for me up here in Alberta, but that road is calling me. Especially with your excellent videography!

Not mine, sfarsons. Get on youtube and search for that name and rmrider, he has a bunch more there. xlnt stuff for sure

I rode with my little brother to Sturgis - his is the red Duc.



Ironically, the 16,000mi Duc had WAY more difficulties than my 45,000mi Buell - it wouldn't start in Whitefish, MT yesterday morning, and he needed a new chain in Sheridan, WY. Against all odds, my belt survived!

!!NERD ALERT!!

Ulysses managed to find himself back in Troy. D'oh!



Bonus action shot


I have to say, the Ulysses is the best long-distance ride I've had. Set the suspension up for "maximum rider comfort" for me and the load - it sops up the big bumps and floats comfortably over the small stuff. I don't think the handling is compromised at all when it's soft like that - it sticks to a line no matter what road conditions it gets. Engine turns pretty lazily at 75mph, too. We did a 90mph push for about 90 miles through 100 degree heat one of the days through southern Montana, and aside from eating about 1/8 quart of oil the Uly was flawless. It always makes me shit when I'm sustaining a 90mph pace, the minivans that pass me like I'm in reverse.

I took the fly screen off for some of the ride and I think I like it that way. The air hitting my neck is nice and clean with it off, but I do catch more bugs. What to do about those unsightly rubber grommets...spikes maybe?

I also cooked my Jardine sticker on the pipe...

Picked up a new to me 08 this summer. Having lost of fun with it so far

Very cool. You're going to love it!

Congratulations


Enjoy

"somebody just rode a motorcycle right through the front door, thank you"

Awesome!

Hey Roostre, good to see you still bashing away on that thing. How many miles now? Remember this?

About 33K so far...

How could I forget her first nap? That was a helluva weekend!!

Runs better now than it ever has. Knock on wood. :eek1

On Mt. Baker in NW Washington

Oh man I gotta do that ride.

Put 1300+ miles on last week and silly me only took one picture of the bike. I need to learn to stop and take more shots of her. Taken up Paris Canyon here in Idaho at the Paris Ice Cave.
