It was Biketoberfest and my casual walk down Beach Street was about to change my life forever. Out front sat a Black 2005 Buell Blast. I love black. I had been wanting another bike. The Blast was not what I had inmind but when I sat on it, it felt right. So right I decided to ride that Blast from Florida to Michigan and back. No problem. Just returned from another trip, this one Florida to Maine and back 4,414 miles. My Blast now has 36,800 miles, so far has been mechanically sound. I have encountered hundreds of people in my travels who are inspired by my bike, my riding and my enthusiasm for touring. Thanks to you, I got the bike. Thanks to Erik for an awesome machine.
