octane, you wouldn't be referring to Troy with that buell would you?
No, my buddy Mike. We were college roomates in '92 and moved down here together when we finished school. He also rides a super clean red '91 Bandit 400 (another REALLY fun small bike) that you may have actually worked on in the past. Is Troy the dude that works at SSHD?

Here's the S1: http://www.octaneonline.com/buellS1.htm

And +1 on smaller bikes being more fun. My 500 runs out of steam in a long straight, but it has embarassed much bigger bikes in the twisties.
