I was reading through CycleWorld online today and stumbled across an article where a bunch of reviewers on middleweight sports stopped by a taping of the tonight show. Jay was looking over the bikes and was criticizing their lack of personality and made the following comment, I thought it really summed up what our Buells mean to many of us.

“I kinda grew up, you buy a bike, then you put the twin-carb setup on it, you sort of ease your way up,” he continued. “Like the Buell that I've got in there. I bought it, then we built the full-race motor-130 hp at the rear wheel. It has such personality, you know?”

Plus it was cool to know that Jay Leno owns a Buell. Here is a link to the whole article.

I was riding the RS over Coldwater Canyon on Memorial Day (last month), heading to a job site, and it ceased to provide self-powered forward momentum. (Turns out a wire broke to the fuel pump.)

I'm parked at the end of a small side street, waiting for the spouse to bring the salvage vehicle, and I see this AWESOME yellow Hudson (Hornet?) driving up Coldwater.

Yup - Jay Leno!

He smiled and waved. Continued on his way.

Leno's Buell is an XB built by Hal's not by his guys.

But yeah, I'd bet it has loads of personality
