I wanted to see if there was any mention of it yesterday . . . but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Erik Buell and The Elves. It was 2 years ago yesterday that Harley-Davidson emancipated some of the most amazing and gifted people I know. Elves, like cats, continue to land on their feet in the most interesting places. Good people, with talent and hearts, seem to have good things happen to them. Not the least of these is Erik Buell and a handful of amazing people who . . . . now the healthiest, happiest and most resolute i've ever seen them in all these years . . are doing absolutely amazing things. The public will, in coming months, begin to get glimpses. The folks at Erik Buell Racing are a simply amazing team . . . . Happy Anniversary. Court (Message edited by court on October 16, 2011) | ||

Happy emancipation day to Elves far and wide!  | ||
| Whatever |
Where does "the Elves" moniker come from... | ||
| Court |
Ahhhhh . . . . the Legend of The Elves. . . .traces it's roots to a pivotal moment in about 1989. I'd tell you . . . .but a Harley-Davidson executive sent me an e-mail admonishing me for calling Buell employees Elves and telling me that I should never do so again lest I erode their self esteem. By the time the e-mail arrived . . . folks around the world were doing it for me. Elves . . . ELVES indeed. | ||
| Whatever |
Court... do NOT make me choke you until you tell me. YOU should fear me, for "I am the Invincible Buell Goddess... I am the Piglet from the desert". | ||
| Court |
In the old days . . . I feared nothing. Now . . in my twilight years . . I've just become selective about what I fear. Sitting on the banks of the Hudson listening to Bizet. You sure the "Legend of The Elves" wasn't in the "25 Years of Buell" book? | ||
| Court |
  | ||
| Whatever |
I am sure it was... just too lazy to look it up... it is Sunday... | ||

COURT needs to be tickled till he tells all the stories we want to hear. The book proceeds will go Erik Buell Racing to be used as they see fit. | ||

The little side stories Court likes to tease us with don't matter to me much. The bikes and triumphs of Erik Buell Racing are far more interesting. I'm looking forward to what's next. | ||
| Kenm123t |
We suspect the reason Court holds out is Erik may realize at some point how much trouble Court has caused him. That and the nasty statute of limitations issue | ||

Happy Birthday! | ||

Happy Emancipation Day. Truely I was angry and saddened about the forces that caused the closing of Buell American Motorcycles, but lately I think back about that day and it gives me great joy and brings a smile to my face. I remember the puffball mushroom analogy that Erik gave at the "Last Ride" Best wishes past and present Elves! Live long and prosper! | ||
| Ratbuell |
Every time I look at the "last ride" sticker on my Jeep, I think to myself...that should read "FIRST ride". Happy Anniversary/birthday/emancipation day to all our little magicians in East Troy. Can't wait to see what comes next!! | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I am IMPATIENTLY waiting for my next ride...  When the time comes... can I get a lift from the airport? I would like to ride it home from East Troy Maybe then the suspension will get set up right.... | ||

I'm curious to see which one comes out first. Being that the Uly and XT were such big hits, I'm betting the AX. Though, I hope they're all released at the same time. My wife told me I would have to get a divorce if I wanted a NEW bike. We'll see how the RX, SX and AX look! | ||
| Kenm123t |
Thumper are you going to miss her ? | ||
| Thumper74 |
Only one way to find out. Mr. Buell, please release the new bikes! | ||
| Lemonchili_x1 |
Wow. 2 years? Really? It seems to have gone so quick... but seems so long ago at the same time... so much has happened since those dark days. Happy Birthday to EB and all the Elves  | ||

Best thing that could've happened to Erik. He went as far as he could with h.d. took his knowledge and experience with him and gave is a new American company we are proud of! |
