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) | ||

I heard from a little bird that theres a Uly in his garage. All dirty and caked with bugs too. My kind of guy. | ||
| Crusty |
Here's a picture of him that I took at Homecoming this year  | ||

Sissy orange. | ||
| Svh |
He also has a Mitsubishi Evo. With gun literature in the window to say don't mess with me. | ||
| Court |
Yeah . . . well the gun literature is gone. Don't ask. | ||

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. | ||
| Brag918 |
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. | ||
| Thetable |
Ah, that gauge cluster makes me feel good, it's nearly as dirty as mine. | ||
| Jphish |
Hey - He's even got his name on the airbox! I have it too - wonder if somehow I got his Uly by mistake?? | ||
| Johnboy777 |
An 'orange' Uly ....say it ain't so! . | ||
| Mrmoen |
the man has good taste | ||
| Chadhargis |
Ah...just a couple of Uly riders hanging out together   | ||
| Bartimus |
Even Erik knows better than to ride an '08 or newer Uly! | ||
| Johnboy777 |
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  | ||
| Ratbuell |
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. | ||

I bet his suspension is spot on. | ||

>>>I'd like to download his EEPROM Bone stock. I put 200+ miles on it at Homecoming . . . still wearing the dirt it brought back from a trip to Montana. His suspension is spot on for him . . . . who is 50# lighter than me . . . | ||
| Ourdee |
And it has a new latch on one of the bags. | ||
| Court |
>>>>"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. | ||

>>>And it has a new latch on one of the bags. Shhhhhhh . . . | ||
| Ourdee |
If the parts people hadn't been so efficient that could have been my rear wheel. | ||
| Ratbuell |
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).  | ||
| Court |
>>>at least you got it out of the farmers' field That was ugly . . . "take the motorcycle mister . . just let me go" I thought it was funnier than Erik did. | ||
| Ratbuell |
...or the farmer, I'm sure |
