WHY I'M RIDING A BUELL MOTORCYCLE: The story behind it all, plus someone hit my motorcycle!

[@dbc1dc]

Buells were always the best looking motorcycles in any Harley Davidson dealership. They still are, even though they aren't there anymore!

[@JoyonaBike]

I only got to see one Buell in the showroom once way back when. But I'd still have to agree. 😉

[@ratjaw75]

Ouch, hope there isn't much damage to your machine. Can't wait to see some more videos of this Buell. Subscribed.

[@JoyonaBike]

No, it ended up being not too bad at all thankfully!

[@mysterymacaroni]

Great video! Congrats on your anniversary. Oh God worst job? I would say it's a tie for first for me. Worked 1 day of asphalting and worked as a bar back at the Hangout in Gulf Shores for a week. Hated those jobs

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! And yikes, at least you were able to get out of them soon enough, lol.

[@gibbontakeit9098]

What's the money like barbacking/ bartending down there?

[@mysterymacaroni]

@@gibbontakeit9098 if you a bar tender it's pretty good. Not so much for the bar back

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

Enjoyed the ride along with you Joy,it definitely gets hot in Texas,it gets pretty warm here in Missouri to, but it's the humidity that kills me, ride safe and ride easy girl 💯✌️ N ❤️ guys

[@JoyonaBike]

Yes, humidity is the worst. Be safe out there! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@JoyonaBike anytime Sis 💯👍

[@MrHosgoodz]

Nice. I'm getting a Buell tomorrow - looking forward to it!

[@JoyonaBike]

Awesome! Which Buell are you getting?

[@MrHosgoodz]

@@JoyonaBike it’s the XB12 Ss 2009. In great condition and pretty low mileage.

[@Eduardo_Chaves]

We are Buell!

[@axeldenker4267]

Cooles Video Joy. Have a nice time with your Buell. Sonnige Grüße aus Germany

[@mcutrim72]

Joy, search a defensive motorcycle course with your local PD. Avoid riding in the fast lane too much time, people speed and are reckless. The key is "situacional awareness". Love the Buell and your chanel.

[@jcodym13]

What do you think about the reliability? I bought a 09 XB9SX with 7500 miles on it last week and I'm stressing about having to buy parts when something breaks. I made the mistake of reading the forums and it's got me so paranoid about future problems

[@JoyonaBike]

How has the bike been treating you since you bought it? We haven't had a issue finding parts for it. As far as repairs, if we can't do it, we have a mechanic who can. In my 1k sub Q&A video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpfVe3imn8imiNk) I actually answer that question from someone.

[@parkerevans213]

I got a buell thunderbolt s3 I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

[@JoyonaBike]

Awesome!

[@dnice583]

just bought a 98 s3t thunderbolt British racing green with the touring package I'm in love

[@EasyRiderGreg]

I like living where I do for a lot of reasons but especially because there is no smog or safety inspections! It was 106 F on my ride yesterday. Ride safe, stay healthy.

[@JoyonaBike]

Wow, 106! Talk about hot.

[@KricketSpaceBun]

Dang that sucks. I know the feel of missing a mirror 😂. The registration is due on zx10r this month, but we don’t have to get an inspection here in Vegas. And we are kinda opposite, we have 4 vehicles but they are not all due at different times of the year, one is due in April and the other 3 are due in June/July. 😩

[@JoyonaBike]

Yikes, that's a lot of registrations due at once!

[@whitmeza]

I cleaned our schools in high school as my job. Made decent money, hung out with my best friends and it was a good time overall.

[@JoyonaBike]

That doesn't sound half bad! 😆

[@MrPavePaws]

I hosed off bird poop from a ferry dock. Best job EVER! 🥺

[@IanLandesman]

I’m thinking about getting some bar end mirrors. I have windguards and bumped a traffic cone other day knocking it loose.

[@JoyonaBike]

Bar end mirrors are one of my favorite mods!

[@rolandkeith5322]

Cool story and ride along bummer about the car & bike deal

[@JoyonaBike]

Luckily it all worked out okay in the end. Mirror went back on and seems to be fine. Thanks for watching!

[@rolandkeith5322]

@@JoyonaBike very welcome and stay safe

[@foltairguns3814]

On call gardener and snow removal person was my worst job I have ever had. 2002 Buell X1 lighting is one of my favorite motorcycles of all time

[@gibbontakeit9098]

Please let us know about the additional intake/ vent. I've read alot of speculation, I think yours is the first video to actually say "in going to try to report on this". M curious because right where it screws on to the bike is also were some frame sliders also built on, so they would interfere with each other. Thank u

[@JoyonaBike]

I've noticed less heat on the right side of the bike, and it seems to turn on less frequently. Still turns on once in a while. Hope this helps.

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

wow not sure how the managed to get the bike wedged like that. Glad it wasn't worse though. I hope you can get it sorted out.

[@JoyonaBike]

It was definitely interesting. But everything got put back together okay in the end. Thanks!

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

At 1:35 you said "Whoa Nelly". DYK: there use to be a Female MotoChannel from Australia named "Whoa Miss Nelly" however she changed her name to "FWM N" I think she did this bcz she was unable to fully delete her account. Now that I shared this UFI with you, its time for me to watch the rest of your video. (smiles)

[@JoyonaBike]

I'll go check her out. Thanks for stopping by!

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

There is nothing to see any longer, She did her best to delete her MotoChannel and remove all her content. I'm not sure why, bcz she didn't say goodbye. (sad face) What if you reach out to "Scarlet Delp" (as she is a new Female MVer)

[@DeluxeChimp]

Oh man, that stinks about your bike getting hit. At least someone said something.

[@JoyonaBike]

For sure! The mirror went back on okay so it all worked out.

[@nicksmith7552]

Love my 2008 Buell XB12X

[@icemanpatriot6622]

Try 5 bikes and 3 cars, and I'm by myself! I don't even register everything 😒

[@jasonkingz6761]

Just picked up a 99 x1 and boi I say it is a animal 😈

[@JoyonaBike]

Have fun!

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

Oh good lord, did the idiot at least offer to pay for the grip and mirror. Looked like a jacked up truck. Probably a little person that can’t see well enough in it. I don’t know about a water parks. The ones that I have been to the attendants are always out of the water monitored rides etc. ride safe 😎😎

[@JoyonaBike]

We got his information in case anything was damaged. Fortunately, the mirror went back in place and seems to be okay for now. That's true though about the waterpark attendants. If I worked there, I'd want to at least be in the water. 😊

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

Joy on a Bike Well that’s good for the mirror. Yea to hot and can’t get in the water would be terrible 😎😎

[@davidjeffers5611]

Where'd you find a Harley dealer in 2020 that doesn't run you off at gunpoint for coming in on a Buell??

[@JoyonaBike]

Haha. It's in South Austin. Sometimes they're actually pretty excited to see them!

[@SnwBrdFrvr]

Are buels reliable? I've heard nothing but stories about Harleys being the worst as far as reliability. All my bike friends tell me you have to be a bike mechanic to own a Harley. I really like the idea of owning a buel but the last thing I want is a bike that's gonna be torn apart all the time costing me $$

[@JoyonaBike]

This bike has been reliable especially considering it has 40k+ miles on it. We've taken it to the shop for a couple things but they've had no issue getting parts or working on it, and we do oil changes at home. On the other hand, they've been iffy about working on the 1125CR being that it's not a Harley engine.

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Dam i like meet that girl that pick up a truck . Sorry about you bike

[@JoyonaBike]

I know, she was pretty impressive! Thanks.

[@MrPavePaws]

Never heard anything about why you rude Buell just snowcones

[@JoyonaBike]

It's in there. 😉
