Where do i start, I suppose the reason we are getting a lot of posts from the States is due to the fact thats where the Buell was born and is made.

AS Dave Gess said its not a Harley Sportster its a Buell and should be looked upon as such. It carry,s a Dry Sump so should we have any major engine issues when the motor stops or lets go it will stop pumping oil hence less oil to lose onto the Road. If a Big Jap four goes pop it can be messy as i have had it happen to me in the past.

You might lose about 1/2 lte to a ltr if you drop a rod on the Buell. But with a Big Jap 4 you will lose any where from 3 to 6 ltrs of oil and at speed i dont think any catch tank is going to hold that much oil...

But lets get back to the Basics, I just want to be given the chance to try and Qualify the Buell for the Senior. I know in the past i have not been the quickest guy out on track and i have only failed to finish one Senior since 2000 out of the Races ive been in. That was due to my own fault and dont laugh it happens sometimes i ran over my own foot at the Bungalow in 2004 when it slipped off the footrest and went under the back wheel i dont know how i stayed on but i did, but after the pitstop was unable to proceed due to not being able to change gear.

Over the last 3 years ive raced Supersport 600 Machines in the TT and Standard ones i might add. I think the Buell will be a little if not a lot quicker on the long parts of the course and should handle a lot better to i would hope to improve my lap times on the Buell which should put me in the Sub 20 min Bracket which i think is very respectable. I know its just going to be a case of wait and see if we are in or out........

When you think about its not a bad thing that the Buell ride has come along my website alone has jumped from 1 or 2 hits a day to an average of 100 to 200 and it has upped the profile of the TT Races in the States a lot of people who never knew about it are suddenly siting up and talking about the TT which is a good thing would you agree.

Myself i think i have what it takes to qualify it and ride it to the best of my ability which is all one can ask from ones self All the best Irish Ago.....

We Race, We Ride, We Understand......
