Looks like the news originated here, but can't for the life of me find it... http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/bomber-motorc ycles-erik-buell-brp-street-bike/ April's fools??? | ||
| Indy_bueller |
That has to be a April Fools day prank. | ||
| Ulynut |
No joke, baby! YEEEEEEE---HAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! | ||
| Wavex |
I really hope so... they say it was confirmed by Avril Foujour of BRP... they also say the news came from Badwebs... | ||

Going to some ammount of effort to pull the wool if it ain't legit http://www.bombermotorcycles.com/ http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/bombe rmotorcycles.com | ||

"Avril Foujour" = April Fool Day.  | ||
| Unique_id |
I noticed the translation too... That is one cruel joke, especially with the extent they are taking it to. | ||

Its bogus. Avril Fou jour translates to April Fools Day. Edit: Database maintenance makes it a pain to post! (Message edited by froggy on April 01, 2010) | ||

Even if it is an April fools joke, BRP would be a good fit since they are already in bed with Rotax. | ||
| Wavex |

Erik is moving to Canada to build the Stratofortress!  | ||

 What a cruel joke. I just want to believe  | ||
| Pwnzor |
and... the only source cited was BadWeB. Pretty good though. | ||
| Glitch |
There is one other "source" Avril Foujour of BRP has made a statement to Asphalt & Rubber confirming the press leak. | ||
| Ulynut |
DANGIT!!!! Foiled again.  | ||
| Pwnzor |
Uhhh the only actual source. | ||

ok as much as I would love to believe that this is true. My gut tells me its not.  BUT Court has remained eerily quite about this.  | ||
| Philly1125 |
Court told everyone the day before the got shut down that the future was bright as could be for Buell. I doubt he knows anything about this if it were true, although I'm sure he would tell you different. Check the date, peeps. | ||

Web registration info: http://www.enom.com/whois/default.aspx?DomainName= bombermotorcycles.com Address as close as I can get it through Google Maps: +Canada&sll=37.926868,-95.712891&sspn=41.391293,93 .076172&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Quebec+J0E+2L0,+Canada&l l=45.493533,-72.302742&spn=0.018892,0.045447&z=15, http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&g eocode=&q=Quebec+J0E+2L0,+Canada&sll=37.926868,-95 .712891&sspn=41.391293,93.076172&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear =Quebec+J0E+2L0,+Canada&ll=45.493533,-72.302742&sp n=0.018892,0.045447&z=15 Can't find the actual street though. Street name translates to "The Street in Guard", or "the Street under Watch", if that means anything.... This has to be a hoax because 1.) It started on April Fool's 2.) Erik's non-compete isn't over. 3.) The Facebook page says more info tomorrow. yeah, info like APRIL FOOL'S! I hope the guy that's going to all this trouble gets his ass nailed to the wall. ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on April 01, 2010) (Message edited by Swordsman on April 01, 2010) | ||

I'll say this once, regardless of how real this announcement is. "Bomber Motorcycles" is a stupid name for a motorcycle company. Can you imagine all the jokes? Second, the name "Stratofortress" hardly conjures up images of high performance. Why the hell would you name a motorcycle after the B-52? I maintain that this is an elaborate april fools day joke until proven otherwise. If it's true, the people who came up with the names need a whack on the head. | ||

Judy Garland..."There's no place like home, There's no place like home, There's no place like home, There's no place like home" I can't wait for this bad dream to end. | ||

Wonder if Erik or BRP could get him in some legal trouble? I mean, seems like if I jumped out there and started making claims that Harley-Davidson and I were going to be building V-twin powered wheelchairs (I know, great isn't it?), and I made a huge public display and set up websites and news articles and all that... seems like H-D would drop the hammer on me, no? ~SM | ||

I love April 1! Doesn't matter , true or false, I like it! | ||

Its a joke, yall need to lighten up a bit. I thought it was pretty funny myself. | ||

Total hoax. Can any of the web geniuses identify who is doing this BS? Just to expose and give him back a little harassment, nothing nasty... | ||

Address is totally bogus. Valcourt was the area Bombardier was founded back in 1942. Dude's done some research. ~SM |
