Gordon was a great friend, a buell and motorcycle enthusiast, and a great rider. I am in shock. Gordon had written many articles during the pacbog days, done presentations for us at American Sport Bike Night, had over 100,000 on his S2, and was putting many miles on his XB....WE have lost a good friend.

Those of you who never met Gordon will never know a truly great person. He was a generous, considerate soul who always had time to talk, and loved Buells. Try to find his "Buhle on Buell" newsletters or reprints, they truly are informative, insightful reading. Rest in peace, you will be missed. Ken Nelson | ||

This makes you want to put down all keys, bikes, cars, etc. and just walk. What a shock. Sorry guys, this is really close to home. rex | ||

RIP,Gordon.A great friend who will truly be missed. | ||
| Eeeeek |
For those of you that didn't know Gordon, he put over 100,000 miles on his 95 S2. He put a lot of work into it to get that milage and went to great pains to keep the original engine in it to keep the S/N matching. The bike looked no more than a year old. He bought a Firebolt right when they first came out and rode the •••• out of it. My last big ride with him was the Four-Play ride up past Snail's house on the way to SPLASH. Damn good guy. He will be missed. Vik | ||

This is a terrible thing to wake to. Gordon has been a member of the Buell community for many years and was a true enthusiast. His writing was enjoyed as was his company, by many of us. I am very sorry to hear this news and his family peace and comfort. Court Canfield | ||

Pic of Gordon and FMJ at ASBN dinner just last month I was kidding with Gordon chiding him to hurry up and chew, trying to get him to laugh so I could snap a funny shot of him with mouth open full of salad. He managed to avoid providing the embarrassing salad mouth shot I was trying for, and we had a good laugh about it. I didn't know Gordon well. I knew him well enough to know he was the kind of person who makes you feel better just for being around him. Those kind of people are rare. He was a giver not a taker. A man of high caliber. I just did a perusal of Gordon's posts here; his username is Buell_by_buhle in case anyone is interested. What a great, positive, helpful, gentle man. I wish I had known him better. I'm better for just having known him a little. Gordon will be sorely missed on this Earth. Does anyone have an address or email for Gordon's family?

I bought a new S3 in 1997 and from the first ride it ran like an off-balanced washing machine. A couple of weeks later I joined a club called PACBOG and an enthusiastic guy named Ferris turned me onto Gordon to solve my extreme lean condition. Many e-mails and phone calls later my S3 ran like a raped ape due to the fact that Gordon walked me through the rejetting process and helped me tune the bike over the phone, telling me which way to crank the idle mixture screw. I never got to meet him in person but I thought of him everytime I cracked the throttle and the S3 would wheelie at will. Thanks Ferris. RIP Gordon. (Message edited by jb2 on August 11, 2005) | ||

I'm shocked and very saddened by this news. Gordon was one of the good dudes. More than once he offered me a place to stay even when I wasn't looking for one. And he was always very helpful in talking about products and how they could be improved and such. He was a real Buell enthusiast. Godspeed Gordon. You will be missed. This hobby has a cruel side indeed. Stay safe, everyone. Al | ||

He was my friend. He helped me with my M2 often. We jaw jacked and shared family and political stories with honesty. I'm so sad.... | ||

I am shocked to hear this because I will miss seeing him again. I always looked forward to greet him and have a friendly conversation whenever I saw him. His enthusiasm would affect me and I always felt like a better person having talked with him. RIP Gordon Buhle. You will be missed but not forgotten. | ||

Unfortunately I never had the honor of meeting Gordon. However, the news of his passing is definitely a shocking blow. I was stunned to read about it approximately a half hour ago and am still stunned. Ride In Peace Gordon 1313 | ||

I hate seeing these threads. It's sobering and makes you realize how important some things are and how trivial other things are. RIP Gordon |
