Excuse me if I'm being a bit Pollyannish here but...the initial shock is now past and we generally understand Buell (at least in their current form) will soon be OOB. However...I'm willing to bet we haven't seen the last of this iconic machine. (for one - I'm not divesting in my 08'X - so at least one 'collectors' model will still be on the road) Somehow, somewhere it will take on a new form / Brand, and all the attributes of the Buell / Uly will be utilized to live on, reincarnated as something else. It was a great ride while it lasted. I'm not mad at HD, & though I'm in their target demographic, (60+) neither do I lust after what they currently produce. They made a business decision, that only time will tell if it was the right one. I doubt that it was. We all got the bikes we love (for the most part) because Eric & the elves got capitalized sufficiently to make 'em. For that I'm greatly appreciative to the Buell team for all the adventures I will continue to enjoy. So on the 26th - I'm taking the day off, rain or shine, loading up my spare belt / bearings & ride my Uly & perhaps meet up with like minded folks in Western Wa. We will wave to all the Buellers in E Troy (with all our fingers!) as a sign of solidarity on a solemn day. Johnboy - don't forget those snowblower gloves. j | ||

Hey Jphish, Sounds like you’re on Stage 7..."Acceptance".  . | ||

So what are the details of the ride to East Troy on the 26th? Been looking around and only see references. Has it been organized or are folks just doing it? | ||

Details ? 2,000 mi & 5 mountain ranges from Olympia. Weather not looking to auspicious between here and there. But yeah - what are the details ?? Johnboy - Geez, I figured I'd either get flamed, or get the 'glass half full award. Never sure which it's gonna be. So is that stage 7? I always get confused between denial & anger... and stuck between grief & acceptance. It makes for a rocky road. j | ||

I've always been a glass 'existing in a state of simultaneous duality' ...kinda guy. . | ||

Jphish, I would be your wing man from Western WA if I could afford to take all the time off from work. Enjoy and have a safe ride. | ||

Johnboy - Between simultaneous duality and parallel universes...we could be on to something here. Liv2 - check out a post to PNW Buellers I'll post later this AM. 'Chow, j |
