Author Message   Gregtonn Posted on Monday, January 16, 2012 - 07:59 pm:        I just had a one of those scary moments. Wouldn't it be incredibly awesome if the new sponsorship Erik is waiting to announce was.....Michael Jordan? G   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, January 16, 2012 - 08:22 pm:        I'm assuming Eslick will be 9? May is 99? Weird math: 9 X 9 X 9 = 729 72 - 9 = 63 Coincidence? I think not!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Monday, January 16, 2012 - 08:25 pm:        Jordan has crossed my mind... and that would be a HUGE get. Can-am? Rotax? What if it was H-D.... LOL... I couldn't help myself Can't wait to find out   Midnight_rider Posted on Monday, January 16, 2012 - 08:31 pm:        I would guess to say GEICO   Wolfridgerider Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 07:55 am:        what if what??   Boliver Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 08:06 am:        go austria   Barker Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 10:06 am:        I'm guessing a 9/99 all Amsoil team.   Notpurples2 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 10:56 am:        Hmmmm... Geico doesn't have a superbike team... yet. If you go to the website they have a page for the 2011 sportbike team http://www.geicogarage.com/sportbike/ if you type in http://www.geicogarage.com/superbike It shows the old Buell DSB Team.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 11:09 am:        Wow. That's telling. Potentially.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 11:18 am:        It shows the old Buell DSB Team ...With the Buell Racing patch whited out   Daves Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 11:27 am:        Been away from Badweb for a few days, really busy in the shop. Check in today and see this! WOW! I can't wait for the racing to begin. GO EBR Racing!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 11:47 am:        Where did it move to?   Hughlysses Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 12:21 pm:        I'm guessing a 9/99 all Amsoil team. Erik says there's another sponsor involved: quote: "Geoff [May] will be on the Amsoil bike and this co-sponsorship will probably spill over a little bit onto Geoff's bike," Buell said. "But he's still primarily AMSOIL." Link to article: http://www.cyclenews.com/articles/road-racing/2012 /01/11/eslick-to-ride-for-erik-buell-racing/   Notpurples2 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 01:10 pm:        Geoff on an AMSOIL/geico bike and Danny on a GEICO/amsoil bike?   Bads1 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 01:10 pm:        Not Jordan thats for sure. I'm doubting Geico because they are intwined with Suzuki. I'm really betting that Erik has done something different. For some reason I have a feeling this sponsor may even be bigger then Amsoil if it is to spill oner to Mays camp.   Ulyranger Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 01:44 pm:        I'm not sure how Jordan entered the room, but Team Air Pegasus has a kewl ring to it... Best wishes for success to EBR this season.   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 02:28 pm:        I believe that BadS1 is correct   Vtpeg Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 02:30 pm:        www.pitpassradio.com Maybe some sponsor info tonight   Bads1 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 02:32 pm:        Danny can speak of sponsorship for the team until EBR makes a press statement.   Team_ruthless Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 03:27 pm:        I thought everyone knew that the new sponsor is ford motor company? This isn't news. It is no secret that EBR is currently working with ford to develop an ecoboost I-3 for motorcycle use.   Ridenusa4l Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 03:42 pm:        ruthless- i would be the HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH!!!!! we can dream right? lol heres to hopin! Jake   Panhead_dan Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 04:48 pm:        I need a season schedule for speed tv. Just the races with EBR. Anybody?   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 05:38 pm:        quote: I thought everyone knew that the new sponsor is ford motor company? This isn't news.

Regardless of if you are pulling our chain or not, that would be ABSOLUTELY FREAKING AWESOME!   Ft_bstrd Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 05:51 pm:        Mmmmmmm.....Buell Speed Triple!   Badlionsfan Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 06:04 pm:        Yeah, a Ford sponsorship would be cool, especially if it included rocking a Lions helmet, similar to when the nfl sponsored that golfer, Payne Stewart I think.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 06:16 pm:        You know, when I was a teenager, I wanted to buy an American sporting motorcycle, and wished Ford would build one (as opposed to Chevy et al) for no reason other than that I thought the blue oval would look cool on the fairing. I was 26 before I saw my first Buell. It was a 96 S1, Red Snap. I've not had eyes for another since. So a Ford sponsorship would bring it full circle for me. Not sure why Ford would sponsor a sport they're not involved in building vehicles for. Eh, anything's possible.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 06:17 pm:        Coincidence that the old Buell logo was a blue oval?   Badlionsfan Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 06:27 pm:        Ford has been involved with motorcycles before. Remember the Harley Davidson edition trucks? The only people who haul their bikes around more than HD riders are racers.   Team_ruthless Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 06:42 pm:          Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 06:48 pm:        And I suspect since Ford is still tied to HD...it won't be Ford. Knowing Erik...I suspect something totally off the wall, out of the box...and a perfect fit, once we see it and go "ooohhhhhhhhh...of COURSE!!!". Time will tell. edit: funny damn timing. Wouldn't it take a feather out of HD's cap (and "core market") if EBR signed with AARP? Sorry. AARP ad on TV as I was typing. But...just think about it! hehee...
