I'm sure he as a lot in his garage, but anyone know what Mr. Buell calls his ride of choice? (Message edited by missin44 on September 02, 2009) (Message edited by missin44 on September 02, 2009) |

He also has a Mitsubishi Evo. With gun literature in the window to say don't mess with me. |

IIRC it was reported here that he used to have an XB9Sx (City Cross) with a full-tilt modified engine. I'll bet that's a fun bike. |

Two years ago he had a Uly and a CityX that he uses around town. He said that he ruined the CityX by going full tilt. Also, during the same conversation, I asked him about a Rotax powered Uly. Said he gets in enough trouble offroad with 102hp, much less with any more. |

Not only does he own an (awesomely fast Orange) '06 Uly...he RIDES it, too.
And yes...it's THAT bike. |

Even Erik knows better than to ride an '08 or newer Uly! |

I'd like to download his EEPROM - I bet it's not the same EPA reg. one... after all, he is a racer at heart |

Even Erik knows better than to ride an '08 or newer Uly! No...I think it's just a case of "the company went to the trouble to present the 100,000th Buell to me personally". It just happened that landmark came in 2006. |

>>>>"the company went to the trouble to present the 100,000th Buell to me personally" The better story is when he was cautioned . . . prior to starting the bike and moments after Tish handed him the keys . . . . someone mentioned to Erik that there had been an offer of $100,000 for the 100,000th Buell . . . he turned and said " . . . all this bike is getting is 100,000 miles. Classic. It was fueled and left East Troy on the rear wheel . . . it's ridden nearly daily. As the only "civilian" in attendance I just dropped the hammer and let the camera run through 2 - 4GB cards of RAW files . . . P.S. - If Erik looks shot . . . he is . . . I took him to JFK at 11:00pm at night for a flight to Rome . . . he jumped a commuter . . flew to Sardina for a press event . . . meet and greet all day (HD folks seized the video of the "little incident" with the FLH) . . . headed to a press conference in France . . straight to airport . . flew all night . . landed in Chicago at 5:00am and was at the factory for the event at 11:17AM. |

If the parts people hadn't been so efficient that could have been my rear wheel. |

Don't worry about the latch, Court...at least you got it out of the farmers' field without any bulletholes (in it, or in you). |
