I just heard that they have changed their minds and are re-opening the Buell factory. Fact. |

No really they're re-opening.
Only this time it'll be in West Troy. |

I heard the West Troy facility is only going to be used for un-cubing Blasts. |

Hey guys, go ahead and poke. I've got real thick skin, unlike many folks here. If you don't want factual information, I guess I can't stop you from posting un-documented trash, claiming I read it on the internet, and telling us it's the gospel. I'm hoping for better. It's interesting how many offline positive comments I've received today. We want a better community. Truth and accountability are important.
Flame away!!

>>>>There is a perfectly good reason the Blast, Buells #1 seller of all time, was "Cubed".
The Blasts Quality and Warranty numbers were so good it made HD’s quality programs look bad. |

We can call it the post-bad-impressionist period.

Conspiricy Theorists everywhere want to know!
Blast cubing, piss off the trenches?
Probably the key was getting EBR up and running.
I beileve the Ulysses was a very fortunate accident. When it was released and discovered by HD(FU)(spit)just how World Class it was, well, it just had to be thrown from the train to keep it from becoming competition for the Geezer Glides. |

But I do think Erik Buell and his staff was capable of multi-tasking, Blasts, XB line, Ulysses, 1125 and racing all at once.
It's all about the money, but in this case about HD(spit) getting shown up in everything they did by the ugly redheaded stepsister that was locked in the basement that suddenly got national attention because she was discovered by Oprah.
Probably if Buell motorcycles had not won AMA we would still have a Buell Motorcycle company. We just needed more failures..... |

Two Buells,
Since it looks like you are an "Employee of HD" that this is the official, actual reason for the demise of the Blast. Because you are in the know. Right?
Otherwise, your boss is going to be pissed that you let the cat out of the bag, or more "I read it on the internet so therefore it is true".

kmbuell,
I wish I knew the actual reason for the demise of Buell and the Blast.
What I posted above is my opinion
I've owned 8 Buells in the last 14 years so you know what I'm a fan of...not (spit)HD |
