As I sat there thinking about how if my head would have been turned the other way when I woke up, it would have been 6 inches away from my eyeball, I contemplated how I was going to deal with it. The first thought was to pull out my gun and shoot it, but I had a new tent and .40 hollow points may have been a bit much. I decided to do the next best thing and use the plastic bag my gun was in to squish that bitch and toss it out the flap.

Mission accomplished... with minimal crying.
Friggin hilarious. I only logged into browse for a sec when I happened on your blog. I swear I was sucked in and didn't want to stop reading. When techs walked in my office which interrupted my reading time, I seriously wanted to throw my hot coffee on their crotch. Kudos, OSP, for you great adventure, for your determination to see it through, for your entertaining blog, and for your new lease on life.

Mad props.

I'm glad I could be a detriment to your productivity at work.

As my productivity at work is low to begin with, you did not have a negative effect on mine.

You guys don't think the 1125's upper is rediculously misporportionate (sp-I don't even know if that's a word) to the rest of the bike?

It is. and I'm sure it's a hindrance on the track for top speed and acceleration. But it was designed as a rider friendly street bike first and foremost. and that big ass fairing is NICE on the highway.

Probably not... I read in Cycle World or Motorcyclist this month that Buell plans to do with the 1125, what they did with the Firebolt. Start with one, then build others based off the same basic design. A Lightning-esque version would be extremely tempting if it looked right...

Disproportionate.

Yes, it's ginormous. When sitting on the bike though, it just feels like it's right. Plus, I'm a wide motherfucker, that'd fit me well.
