>>>>Ha, they should be getting lemons instead of mangoes! That would be more of an equal trade. Hahahaha . . good point! Part of the problem with the mangoes was that Susan Schwab and Kamal Nath both had kind of shady reputations. Nath originally conceded and was going to let Harley-Davidson do business in India but would not renege on the 110% tariff. That's right . . you bring in a 20,000 dresser you pay $22,000 in fees. From there is kinda went down hill. The deal got cut but there were some big and powerful folks who got screwed in the deal (see HD shareholders when MV Agusta was purchased in a drunken bacchanal feast in Italy) and it hasn't made the sailing smooth. I'll tell ya . . . after some of the things I've seen HD do to shareholders, owners and employees the last couple year I am thrilled to see the Buell folks out of there. Many of the worst have been sent off to "pursue other interests" but there are at least 2 left that I'm betting get snared at some time. | ||

Mangoes? Easy. Juice them. Add some great Jamaican rum and ice cubes. Stick one of the nifty little paper umbrellas for decoration, enjoy and go do the next business deal. I bet it will be a humdinger of a deal! As for the 1190RS. I am looking at creative ways of raiding my 401K so I can order up one. (Message edited by doerman on February 20, 2011) | ||

>>>.I am looking at creative ways of raiding my 401K so I can order up one. You're as bad as my wife . . she wanted to buy one "as an investment". What???? Honey . . I'm riding your portfolio to work! | ||

I got a question for those who have seen it in person. Does the thing have a kick stand? I ask because every picture I have seen of it shows it one a rear swing arm stand. | ||

Will some previous Buell dealers be E-B-R dealers? | ||
| Gregtonn |
"Does the thing have a kick stand?" It does. Check out the left side view in the CW pictures. G | ||

Will some previous Buell dealers be E-B-R dealers? I imagine that question got answered this weekend at the Indianapolis Powersports Show. I wonder who some likely candidates are? | ||
| Americanmadexb |
I recall Hal's and Uke's where going to step up and sell whatever Buell had to sell. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
ok I see it now Greg thanks. I just kept thinking that would really suck if there was not kick stand since it is for the street. I mean for the track you don't need it but if you go any were on the street you would not be able to stop any were unless you straped your stand to the back then it would just destroy the whole look and aerodynamics. | ||

The key here was that the bike has passed (there were some REAL challenges along the way) Federal certifications. One of those requirements

I am looking at creative ways of raiding my 401K so I can order up one. Hehehe, do it! You're as bad as my wife . . she wanted to buy one "as an investment". And who are you to stop her??? Run with it, Court, run with it  | ||
| Ratbuell |
She'd probably make Court get rid of some other Buell stuff to make room for it, though... | ||
| Gregtonn |
"I am looking at creative ways of raiding my 401K so I can order up one." That's how I bought my S3. The company I worked for at the time allowed you to borrow against your 401K. You just had to pay interest (into your 401K) which was a bonus. G | ||

Ummm, Court- not having met her, I like your wife. Repeat after me: "Yes, Dear."  | ||
| Court |
She is an interesting wife with GREAT tastes in birthday gifts. . . .    | ||
| Road_thing |
She is an interesting wife with GREAT tastes in birthday gifts. . . . That is an accurate statement. ...cute butt, too... rt | ||
| Court |
You do know . . that's hers. . not mine. | ||
| Jasonk |
...with those earrings, I would sure hope so, Court! | ||
| Davegess |
I keep trying to get her to take my wife out shopping but so far have not succeed!! | ||
| Geforce |
Froggy, thank you for the IC pictures. That's exactly what I wanted to see. "Daddy like." | ||
| Blake |
Little did she know that her cute behind would be featured on the internet under the heading "First Look". Will be interesting to see where this is headed. | ||
| Court |
Hahahahaha . . . we'll likely all be in the doghouse ! | ||

>>>Will some previous Buell dealers be E-B-R dealers? Some will. Double Lung Archery and Erik Buell Racing motorcycles??? | ||
| Daves |
If there is any way in hell to swing it, I'm in! I was just thinking about this, again, the other night. There is an empty building for sale/lease right across the street from DLA. Used to be a car dealership. Make a PERFECT Buell dealership. | ||
| Chadhargis |
But Dave, no one buys Buells....remember. LOL! | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
But this is dave we are talking about. This is the guy that would fly you across the country to sell you a bike. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
Dave you could call your new company buells and bows. | ||
| Daves |
Nope, Double Lung Motorsports as long as they are V twins, the Double Lung fits. I have already made a short list of techs I would try to hire. |
