S&S has no-one to blame but themselves if they are having financial problems. The company has went absoulutely down the toilet lately as far as customer service to their dealers is concerned. For example- It took me over 5 months to get a returned part credited properly to my account. I also ordered a complete bottom end and was sent a crankshaft recently!!

I have heard one of the original founders ons recently took over S&S and he is running it into the ground!!

Ok hear is what I found out the guy does not work for Aprillia he is as I thought a pile of dung. He was mad at the local Aprillia salesman for not giving him anything on a trade in he had. I also called the other Aprillia dealer and said there was a corprate guy up in the hawks nest he said that the dealer was selling tuono's and mille's at below msrp the guy stuttered and said no I don't even have any he then asked me who this guy was, He said I sold a guy like that a mille he was an . The other dealer called me back with his name I am currently checking what I can on the guy maybe I will try to have corprate aprillia or someone who sounds like them a call.

Moral of the story is be careful who you talk shit to in this day and age the world is at our fingertips

There are, in this world, that subset of persons who having achieved little of note or bearing mention in their own life seek to make themselves appear shinier by verbally tarnishing the shine of others.

Fortunately, to our common benefit, their means are so laughable and transparent as to do little more than remind us of the splendor of of the accomplishments of those they seek to diminish.

Perhaps, some sunny day at the Hawk's Nest, I shall meet this fellow and set about a course of setting him on the path on a truer path.

The wonder and glory of having achieved lofty things is that it is the achievement, not the things, that have value.

Taking Erik Buell from the company would do nothing to erode that which he has achieved. How many great motorcycle designers also hold patents for bicycles, single sided swingarms for bicycles (long before anyone dreamed that up) and guitars.

True genius is true.

Unlike my jack of all trades self 'Boris' is one of the region's leading writers - syndicated. Admirable intellectual horsepower in an Aussie Mad b@stard of eastern European heritage.

We were just about atop Mt Buller in the Australian Alps for a photo stop on the 1125R launch.

16 bikes riding past the photographer - 30 seconds apart - half a dozen times. Ride past - turn around - wait - ride past - turn around - wait. There's time to take your helmet off between some passes. (It ain't all glamorous)

So Erik jumps out of the truck, grabs the gas can and gives all the Journos bikes a splash while we're twiddling our thumbs.

I was staring off into the magnificent haze when Boris slaps me on the back and draws my attention to Erik filling up his bike.

'Betcha Tamborini ain't doing that at the f***ing MV Launch'.

Naysayers have been saying that Buell is finished since people have known they existed in the first place.

I can attest to that. I wanted to order a special application crankshaft and they couldn't even quote me a price. Buell got my business instead.

A locknut on one of their pushrods snapped and they wanted to charge $27 for a pack of five plus shipping for a damn $1.50 nut. The hardware store got my business instead.

My most impressive accomplishment today was to mow the back yard. Fear me, for I am now greatly empowered. : ]
