Jonathan Woody and were admiring the motorcycles in front of Puckett’s this morning on the Harpeth Bike Club ‘Pancake Ride’.
We overheard two guys discussing the white Triumph Tiger 1050 sitting near the door, and Jonathan mentioned that he had test driven a Buell Ulysses at Bumpus the day before. One of the guys huffed, and said “You mean you test drove a USE-less?”
Get it. USE-less…Ulysses. No, it’s not that clever, but I’m sure that guy thought it was.
Later after Jonathan and I had discussed how some people just have to feel like whatever they ride is superior to everything else, and look down on other brands, we saw that same guy put on his motorcycle helmet and ride off on this:
Seriously. You bad mouth one of the most real-world capable motorcycles on the planet, then you ride off on a … scooter. I would have at least figured you for a BMW rider.
You, my friend, have failed.

Haha… that’s hilarious. I never will understand why other disparage someone else’s ride. A scooter rider talking down a Uly, that’s ironic. Actually most the beemer guys I’ve talked too have a favorable opinion of Buells, especially the Uly.
Sone of the scooters can go up to 100mph. You need to look at the Victory line of bike. There is a shadtree that has one and it is cool.

One of the Shadetrees has a Victory? Is it the silvery grey one with the hard bags? I think I saw that one on the way to the Rock. They do make solid looking bikes. It’s good that there’s an American company to compete with Harley Davidson on bikes.
He traded that one for a new one. You will see it at the WP
Love you site Nathan! Buell makes some sweet rides, the scooter guy might want to read this article! lol http://www.2wheeltimes.com/RR_09_Buell_Is_Pace_Bike.html
