That is really great news... i'll be putting that on the map for a future road trip for sure.... wait .... I should make sure its not some lame horrible location.... wait.... its TWIN.... that wouldn't be the case..... carry on!!!   Ridegreen2oo Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 01:40 pm:        Feel free to open up shop in Detroit, MI...we could use you!! Well maybe not actually in Detroit, more like a safer suburb.   Spike240sx Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 03:26 pm:        WOO HOOOO! Knoxville TN Please! Might as be right by one of the greatest roads in the country for Buells! The Dragon!   Redbat Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 04:33 pm:        Could you please tell us in what city and state it will be? Thanks Dris.   Jimmyb152 Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 05:29 pm:        That is awesome! Very curious where you guys will be. I say WI or Knoxville...if you're taking votes   Reducati Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 06:31 pm:        did he say 2019???   Duggram Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 06:49 pm:        They would have to consider the southwest where you have plenty of tracks (road race and dragstrip) that operate year round.   Craigg Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 06:50 pm:        Wow red didn't even catch that. Hopefully it was a typo   Ridenusa4l Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 06:56 pm:        2019 is when HD legally is able to stop producing parts for buells, per the 10 year agreement after they closed down buell. Jake   Jdugger Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 07:19 pm:        Anyone remember this announcement? http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/artikelen.asp?cid=7& aid=143   Court Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 07:42 pm:        >>> per the 10 year agreement What 10 year agreement? Reference please.   Ridenusa4l Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 09:36 pm:        i thought that by law HD had to continue to make parts for Buells (i.e. the closed company) for 10 years after termination? Jake   Court Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 09:46 pm:        If there is a law . . . . I have yet to see it or find it. I've been asking folks to show me since October 15, 2009. Thus far . . . no takers.   Terrys1980 Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 10:23 pm:        That 10 year agreement is BS. Harley can quit making parts whenever they choose.   Oldog Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 11:03 pm:        thanks Dris, I hope that it is a profitable venture for you guys.   Easyrider Posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 - 11:39 pm:        I am flying today to the USA, but if somenbody would be so kind to look in the annual HD Report 2009-2010, they can see HD takes a lot of dollars and 10 years (every year a lot of dollars) to reorganise Buell out of there internal system. after 10 years there are no cost anymore for Buell.   Dennis_c Posted on Wednesday, August 01, 2012 - 05:02 pm:        Columbus, Ohio would be a good place also you could add EBR bikes to   Finedaddy1 Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 12:18 pm:        Anywhere in East Tennessee! Lived here all my life and I'm still discovering new (great) roads to ride, It's just hard to beat this area for motorcycling.   Kevmean Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 05:09 pm:        I think the laws in europe for motor vehicle producers is different to the States when Buell closed the Uk site advertised 10 years spares support while Buell .com were stating 7. I believe it is something to do with in European law any vehicle sold must have 10 years support unless of course the manufacturer goes into administration which did not happen with Buell.   1125rz Posted on Thursday, August 02, 2012 - 10:12 pm:        Great news dris.hows the frame pucks coming along?   1313 Posted on Saturday, August 04, 2012 - 11:20 pm:        Why is it everytime I read the title of this thread the following pops into my mind? Don't worry, it's NOT a rick-roll Word association - triggered - is my best guess, 1313   Easyrider Posted on Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 09:09 am:        the state we are going to is TEXAS. The place is around the Austin area, we let y' all know later when the location is a fact.   Court Posted on Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 10:09 am:        You'll love it . . . .Austin-Tacious . . . is one of the finest cities in America. We're looking at building a home in the area and the more you look at the city the more attractive it is. When I had my Dallas office I used to go to Austin once a month for the TSDHPT bid openings. The place was always fun. Texas had, and continues to have, one of the most business friendly climates in the nation. Great place for a motorcycle business. :-)   Duggram Posted on Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 10:53 am:        quote: the state we are going to is TEXAS. The place is around the Austin area... Well Yeeha! I'm trying to get to Austin myself. For me there are some fun work opportunities there and it's only 10 hours from my home in Albuquerque. Looking further down the road I want Austin to be a winter home (ABQ can see some uncomfortable winters and after 39 years in Alaska I'm pretty sensitive to the issue). Also there is the Circuit of The Americas that is built in Austin. The first Formula 1 GP there is Nov 16-18 this year. And, MotoGP is all signed up there with a mulit-year contract. Dris, I can't wait to see your shop. You might remember me cause I bought one of the original Torque Hammers. Your move is great news! (Message edited by duggram on August 12, 2012)
