Buell's First Roadracer Erik purchased the patent rights and all tooling from Barton UK. The Barton was used in the movie classic...Silver Dream Racer. Came across this pic of me at Summit Points turn 10, in 1985. http://millwoodva.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?set_albumName=album01&id=rw750 (Message edited by millwoodva on June 08, 2008) |

I've actually ridden and tuned on that bike(not raced it) that is Jeff Atwell at Summit Point Raceway Circa 1980's if I'm not mistaken. I asked Jeff to dig up that picture for you guys a few weeks ago. Figure you'd like it. Thanks Jeff for finding that photo. That bike is now back in Erik Buells' collection

For you "newbie" old school Buellers...I believe that bike is on display at the factory. It's right inside the door at the main office entrance. |

Cool pix. Any chance of getting a high res copy for the archives? Too late for the book but if we do a second edition it would be nice to have. Dave |

You mean WHEN you do a second edition- don't you? (hands folded in prayer) |
