First let me say thanks to all who have subscribed to the Crotchrocket.tv Youtube channel and for visiting the Crotchrocket.tv website. My goal is to attract sponsors to our racing effort by offering the added value of an entertainment website and the exposure that it offers. Your support is critical to that. That said, please feel free to offer any ideas as to what folks might like to see on the site. For the Erik Buell tour of the 1190RS factory, go here; http://crotchrocket.tv/Episodes.html Please follow us on twitter @crotchrockettv for updates as they happen.

| Hughlysses |
Yea, at 1:23 on Giancarlo Battaglia's desk. WE NEED INFORMATION!  | ||
| Rodrob |
I'm sworn to to secrecy. But I really could not see what it was about. | ||

Rob! That video is OUTSTANDING! Best one by far that I've seen concerning the 1190RS. GREAT JOB! It really speaks well of Erik Buell Racing too. Thank you for sharing! | ||
| Blake |
Why do I find myself suddenly reviewing the implications of raiding the retirement fund. EBR ought to put that up on their home page. Okay if we put a link to it on our home page here? | ||

That tour video was the most outstanding informational piece on Erik Buell Racing and the 1190RS I have come across yet! | ||
| Dannybuell |
J2blue - YES! | ||
| Ridenusa4l |

Thanks Rob, and thanks Erik, for the tour... Looking forward to see yours and Shawn's impressions after your first ride. | ||
| Sprintst |
Wow, thanks for the tour, that was so informative | ||
| Bueller_bjorn |
Awesome! that was a great tour, such amazing parts go on to that machine. After watching it the bike seems like a bargain. And Rob you got my subscribing support for sure! | ||

Rob you have created the best 1190 advertisement that has been done to date. The only problem I had was it took forever to load. You are to be commended thank you. | ||

we arent the only one to think so http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2011/10/an-in-de pth-look-inside-erik-buell-racing-and-the-1190rs/ Jake | ||

>>>Rob you have created the best 1190 advertisement that has been done to date. I agree. I keep thinking of carrying an 1190RS part . . about any part . . around with me so when I'm telling folks how amazing this is they can actually "feel" it. You tell folks about the wheel . . . the same thing that two well know foreign mfg spent years and millions trying to do . . and they think you're not telling the truth. I tossed Reep a wheel at Mid-Ohio and the look was priceless. Think styrofoam cup. | ||
| Reepicheep |
It *was* priceless. As you tossed it to me I was thinking "Jesus, please don't let me drop it" (not heresy, it was a genuine prayer... almost as reverent as the "please Jesus, don't let him scratch it" that followed shortly as you plopped my 11 year old on the seat of the first public 1190RS carbon edition). The second I caught that wheel, all I would think of was "This can't be the wheel, it must be a movie prop". | ||
| Rodrob |
Thanks for the props. Much appreciated. I am concerned that Hell for Leather Magazine cropped out the crotchrocket.tv copyright notice in the image in their preview page. That's not cool, or legal. Especially since they are a paid site. I emailed them and asked them to rectify that. I hope they cooperate. A donation to the racing effort would be appreciate as well since they a using my content to make money. I wish I did not have to think in these terms, but if I want to keep this racing effort alive, I have to protect the value of my intellectual property. Anyway, more videos to come. | ||
| Blake |
They've been reputable in the past. I expect they'll resolve the issue. | ||
| Prior |
I'm happy I finally scrolled down on that screen to get to the videos... Thought my browser was messed up!!! | ||
| Luv2spd |
Amazing video, thanks for sharing. All that carbon fiber is so nice, there is so much attention to detail. | ||
| Court |
I've watched that video several times. There has never been a better collection of hints foreshadowing things to come. Stand by for Erik Buell's most amazing era . . . . . | ||
| Reepicheep |
My favorite part was when he casually mentioned the front fender was carbon fiber (even on the fiberglass bike). When he said that, my thought was "of course, that's unsprung mass, which you and I know, but a lot of people won't get". Then he added offhand "because that's unsprung mass" with a tone of voice that said ("which you and I know, but a lot of people won't get"). It made me feel all smug inside.  Erik Buell Racing is educating its customers well. | ||

the "GP" comment struck me a little strange Would "WSBK" be more like it? Not that it matters, awesome bike, wish I could afford the balls to the walls version Hell for Leather did mention the website, and owner. (Message edited by Sprintst on October 08, 2011) | ||

O.O I'll... um. Be cleaning up drool. I've had some discussions with people on other forums who don't understand why the 1190RS is so expensive, but this quite clearly shows exactly why. Those parts are just stunning! And the gloss on the bodywork... Amazing, amazing engineering in that bike. I can't wait for the price to come down when it hits mass production! | ||
| Jens |
Rob, Wes and Grant from HfL are true friends of Erik Buell Racing and showing their strong support for Erik, after H-D closed BMC, whereever they can. Be happy for getting featured in a bigger scale (-: Nice video, thanks for having no music. Good luck for the weekend. Jens | ||
| Sprintst |
coming from a manufacturing background, I'm a bit surprised it doesn't cost MORE! | ||

Part 3 is up, subscribe if you haven't already. That bike is a work of art! |
