Kind of sad - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Almost a feeling of anxiety. I have my brand new Buell apart in the garage. I had to dismantle half of the bike to get the muffler off. I am going to be sending out my muffler to have modified tomorrow, but something about having a brand new bike apart that is unsettleing. The weather stinks here now, and it's supposed to snow, but that feeling is still there and I don't think it's going to go away until I get it back together and know it runs correctly.

Wish me luck in getting it back together!! That dang valve cable is what scares me the most, not having it seated correctly, but I thikn it will be fine.

Good luck man! Hope it works out. You'll know all is good once you get that ear-to-ear grin after your next ride.

Good luck. You do have the Tech manual for the bike right?

I had my bike apart the first week I owned it. Something comforting to me about knowing how to take it apart and work on it.

I get stressed when my bike isn't in rideable condition, too. Fortunately for me it snowed again, so who cares if it's not ready?

Good luck, who knows, you may find loose bolts and whatever. Not always a bad thing.
