Well, not really a Buell, but there may be some influence here.

Good for Abe! Spoke to him at the Last Ride and he was sad but enthusiastic about what might lay ahead. Great hire for ZERO.

It would be neat to keep track of where all the elves go. Incredible people.

Yeah! Blake, you should a section "Where are they now" to keep track of where the elves go.

They definitely need to work on an electric sportbike.

great maybe he can get them cut some of the pork out of the price of that beast.

if she were about 3995, then I am all over it. Really its a minimal use toy, it needs to reflect that in the price. It needs to compete with the FX bike.

There would be no skate park that would be safe. (the white is off the bike the second it arrives)

There is a "Buell Alumni" website. Many of them will be at Homecoming. There are already some AMAZING stories of things that are happening to "The Elves".

Wow! That's the best news I have heard yet for the hope of making electric motorcycles a practical reality. Excellent news!

I don't doubt there will be Buell street motorcycles again soon, but I also don't doubt that the forced scattering of the Elves will have a subtle but profound effect on US manufacturing. Maybe it's the best thing that could have happened to the country... though I wish it was more strategic and less violent.

Want a four-hour battery pack, 70 mph electric motor, plug-in recharge, and a swing arm bracket; all in a kit for my XB-R.

Congrats Abe!

I was really thinking about getting a Zero Motorcycle. Its like 25 cents a day to charge it.

That would save me $1.75 per day in gas to and from work on my 1125R. and $4.00 per day if I would drive my Jeep to work.

It would only take like 14 years to pay for itself....

Apt: that's actually an interesting idea, given the spaces and dimensions of the frame and sub-frame...

Hmmm...

Gnite.
