This is a tricky one. Buell no longer made. I have a guy I ride with sometimes that has a Buell Ulysses but he's in Arizona right now... I even called the local shop to see if they had any in for work that I could borrow briefly... he has a Buell Blast in his attic but no easy way to get a pic... the hunt goes on...
PS totally ahead of his time, Eric was. I always wanted a Ulysses although honestly I was probably better served with the way more reliable VStrom...

Don't let the game fall apart without me.

Hey Mark, Just checking in to see how your recovery is going. Hope you are doing well and will be back posting pictures soon!
Guess it's time for a reset. We're headed to the mountains tomorrow with the 4Runner, so I'll watch for some landmark to get a picture of.

Hey Paul, thanks for asking. As far as I know, I am back to normal. Even my senses of taste and smell have returned and the Covid fog is gone. Hopefully that's the end of it. As for pics, the past several weeks has been a terrible stretch of events and the game has taken a back seat for me. We're a little over a month into the process of buying a farm. Within a few days of doing our investigation of the property and making an offer, my dog got attacked by a pit bull, so there was taking care of her. She turned out fine but on the day I got her stitches removed, I came down with Covid. I got through that fairly well. Then, last week as my CDC-guideline quarantine ended and I felt like getting out, my mom fell and broke her shoulder, face, and her C5 vertebra. She went in for surgery today. So I'm sure there will be some juggling of activities around that. Who knows what the next week will bring but I am so ready for 2021.
Though all that, I have tried to find a Buell because I hate when we have to reset. But it sounds like you will likely get a good one for tomorrow.

Man life has dookied on you lately. Hope it gets better soon!
We saw a Buell pass us on 199 in Grants Pass on Tuesday. My wife was driving. I had to super fast explain to her why this excited me... she offered to go after the guy but I think he was long gone. Bah!

When I first saw the challenge, I thought no problem. We had a HD, Indian, Buell dealership here in Knoxville. I didn't realize Buell was no more.

I owned an S1 and an M2. The M2 was the last bike I ever rode, and that was probably 10 years ago. Too many crappy and distracted drivers for my tastes. I did get to spend a day riding with Erik Buell though. It was pretty cool.

Does this count? The windscreen from my M2 and a dirty wife beater.

72 hr landmark reset. This is Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon in the Old City part of Knoxville. It has an interesting history and is supposedly haunted. The last time I was in there was almost 30 years ago. It looks like a saloon inside as well.
Next challenge: Your vehicle on a trail that’s more serious than a gravel road... dirt, sand, rocks... something that at least makes you think about having to put it in 4WD.

Something like this would meet the challenge. This one doesn't though, as I took it before the challenge was issued. It's in the Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine, CA. Mt. Whitney (highest point in the contiguous U.S.) is left of center in the background.
