Just got a tweet that Erik has left HD to start his own company, Erik Buell Racing. http://www.buell.com/en_us/company/ (Message edited by metaldude on November 21, 2009) |

Fantastic! While it may take a while to re-establish, Erik has obviously been working hard to continue the Buell dream. I am most excited about his promise to support racers in all competitions. Baja on a Uly anyone? |

I just watched the video. He looked like he could explode with excitement and enthusiasm at any second. He looked like a little kid. Good for him! We should all be that excited about our lives and adventures. I really don't care at all about racing, but it's cool to see someone who seems to be such a great guy so happy. I wish him great success. |

So, all of you who bought a 1125 bike at fire sale prices, I'll bet you feel pretty darn good right now!! Congrats to Erik and all you 1125 owners out there. |

Now, all we have to do is wait 18 months. That's when his 18 month 'no compete'clause will be over, and we will have our 1125 Buell Desert Enduro!! Don't anyone sell their Buells until then. Harley Sucks....Harley Sucks.....Harley |

You should all read the press release a little more carefully. HD does have a hand in this business - how much, who knows? I'm willing to bet EB is not operating as autonomously as you all believe (or wish). |

Read the news release this morning, but just watched the video. Eric didn't look at all to me like someone about to explode with excitement, rather like someone who just won the consolation prise. He looks to me like the kid who was just thrown out of the house and was given a few table scraps by his mother just to ease her guilt. |
