Hey All,

I've been wandering around this site for a couple weeks or so now. I'm starting to think Buell is
moving in a similar direction as the 'speciality' auto manufacturers (Porsche, Fararri, etc).

Buell seems to be building bikes for riders.
How else can you explain the ease of maintenance, reliability (teething issues in the past), ease of parts availability, etc. I'm thinking a bike that lasts a good length of time with minimum life span maintenance does not add additional revenue into the Buell kitty, as well as a less reliable, more maintenance intensive bike would?

The more I ponder it, the more I like Buell. Just waiting on my XB12X to come in :-)

OK you all probably already knew this.

Cheers

All of my images are to big! The web says it wont accept anything larger than 60kb. I shrank the image and saved it for web use but it is still to large. Go to the website below for more on Pinzies.
BTW mine is bright Yellow with a custom roof rack and tons of upgrades.

More on Pinzgauers at www.real4x4.com
