Author Message   Sportriderwv Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 06:11 am:        Does anyone know for sure>???? I have seen the names of Picotte,Cicotto,Mcwilliams, Hale??   Trojan Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 07:41 am:        Rossi, Hailwood, Romero & Surtees have all been mentioned as well I think   Court Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 08:56 am:        Road Thing, Bomber and I have declined.   Jscott Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 09:08 am:        I've been asking that same question for weeks and have yet to see any official answer. Richard Cronrath did say that his team will not race the 200, so you can mark Hale of the list. We have yet to hear about the other three.   Nguzzi Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 11:32 am:        Our sales manager just got back from the HD dealer meeting and he said Buell is running 3 bikes. No names on the riders just that they are starting to test the bikes.   Daves Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 11:51 am:        Riding for Deeley out of Canada - Pascal Picotte,not confirmed as of Tuesday. Riding for the Hal's - Mike Cicotto Riding for a dealer from England - Jeremy McWilliams There will be a team sponsored by a German dealer but I can't remember the rider's name. Rico something?   Jscott Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 11:59 am:        Daves when can we expect to see official press releases? I would jump for joy to see Picotte back in the AMA series. Are these riders scheduled for the whole season or is just a Daytona ride?   Buellerx Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 12:14 pm:        There was a German guy named Rocco that raced Supermoto. I saw his video once. Maybe he is racing for Buell   CJXB Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 01:27 pm:        Road Thing, Bomber and I have declined.   Jens Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 02:34 pm:        There will be a team sponsored by a German dealer but I can't remember the rider's name. Rico something? Hi Dave, Its Rico Penzkofer http://www.hillbilly-motors.com/html/biketoberfest_2005.html The guy with the green Leather. He tested in Daytona before Christmas and was quick I heared. We will see... Jens www.hillbilly-motors.com   Court Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 03:40 pm:        We will have German Buell owners joining our Buell gathering as well.....so we'll have the opportunity to ask questions. Jens...can you make it?   Blake Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 04:12 pm:        DaveS, Matt, OdinBueller, Chadley, Skully, Dago, Ortega Kid, and I are still available! Will ride for food. Who else? Come on Jens!   Blake Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 04:13 pm:        Where are the Aussies?   Boogman Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 04:26 pm:        No News of Buell XBRR in aus .. Not too sure if Buell is going to support the Local racing scene out here, would be great though. I'll ask the question to a mate of mine at Buell OZ . However maybe an Aussie in the AMA would work ... I'll put my hand up Seriously would be great to have one of the top Aussie riders on a RR in the AMA ... My 2c worth   Naughtynurse Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 04:36 pm:        Riding for Deeley out of Canada - Pascal Picotte,not confirmed as of Tuesday. Riding for the Hal's - Mike Cicotto Riding for a dealer from England - Jeremy McWilliams }TOO COOL!!!   Jscott Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 04:41 pm:        Very cool, but we have still not seen any official press releases. I'm being cautiously optimistic though.   Court Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 04:45 pm:        >>>>Where are the Aussies? Aussies.....quietly in the night, have played a larger role than many will know. I can only hope some join us for Daytona. I've just gotten used to having some of the Australians here whenever we get the group together!   Blake Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 05:10 pm:        Zactly!   Whodom Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 05:57 pm:        Hey, maybe Jamie James will come out of retirement...   Crusty Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2006 - 09:00 pm:        How about Anthony Gobert? He's Australian and he's been known to go kinda fast on V-twins.   Jens Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 08:09 am:        HBM and me have no cards in Daytona, for this year.... its a Buell Dealer only Show and that is good. If Rico Penzkofer race there, than for Buell of Hannover Team I heared. For the moment it not looks like I be personally in Daytona, we have as next a 1 week racetracktesting in Spain and this year the season starts early and the racebikes have to be builded in that time. Jens www.hillbilly-motors.com (Message edited by Jens on January 27, 2006)   Jscott Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 12:09 pm:        Looks like McWilliams may be off the list of potential Buell racers. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=24899 Unless Daytona is a one-off.   Blake Posted on Friday, January 27, 2006 - 02:24 pm:        One-off, yes.   Jscott Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 12:11 pm:        Does anyone know if there will be any official press releases / photo-ops with the said racers and the XBRR? Will there be any pre-season testing with the racers and when?   Diablobrian Posted on Monday, January 30, 2006 - 12:23 pm:        maybe during/after tire tests?   Jscott Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - 10:26 am:        Cycle News is confirming 2 riders names in this article http://www.cyclenews.com/ShowStory.asp?HeadlineID=8729 Looks like testing in early Feb.   Whodom Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - 11:52 am:        "Among the tests of the pre-production models is one scheduled for Feb. 7-10 at Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas. The track, with its two-mile banked oval and numerous configurations, comes closest to approximating the g-forces of the high banks of Daytona, where testing is at a premium, especially this time of year." Blake, other Texas Buellers, any chance any of y'all can witness and report?   Crusty Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - 12:07 pm:        I think a snowball has a better chance of surviving in hell, than a civilian has of getting in to witness a test. But I could be wrong.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - 12:40 pm:        It looks like there may be a few places to see the track with out being on the track. We need someone with a good zoom lens in the area.   M1combat Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - 12:49 pm:        Hmmm... Get in a day or two early (over the walls at night of course) and hide in the tall grass with a ghillie suit on. Hmmmm... I have a Ghillie suit... I wonder if they'd think anything of the Buell with AZ plates sitting on the far end of the parking lot? It's too bad I don't have a decent camera or I'd take pics for you guys to see... I guess it'll just be for me then .
