IT IS A TYPHOON!


I know i know I shouldn't complain.



it's only spelling... See the latest
Cycle World pg 13

But it is kinda annoying that there is
something about Buells every month
in cycle world these days. Where as
before H-D killed them there was
only occasional coverage and it was
always negative.

I love the mag but the Buell stuff has always
seems less that flattering

pisses me off

No soup for you, Todd!

I suppose the typos in your post are deliberate? Supposed to be humorous, given the topic?

Didn't think so...

you are exactly right. the whole slant of Buell is now positive in the magazines. Prior to this they were not as positive.

Might have something to do with Steve Anderson being back with them...

Well anyway. I am glad that cycle world seems to be supporting the "brand" or the man. it is a nice change

It's Pegasus now, not Buell with their variations of the HD "Thunderstorm" heads, etc...

Makes sense.

Oh, thanks court. cycleworld gave BUELL some props in 1995? I must have missed it. Like I said I do like the mag..... I just got tired of reading about what a POS my bikes are

Ulysses and Helicon are also both Greek Mytholigy-sourced names.

Actually, a LOT of Buell lore is mythology based.

I need to find my un-scribbled copy so I don't feel guilty reading it...but I want to say there's a good bit about it in "25 Years".

If only we had a way to ask someone who was involved in writing it....hmmmm......

(we need a coffee smiley...)
