One true statement here... the XR1200 is the Buell Harley would build.

Thank God Buell is building Buells, and that's all I got to say about *that*...

You make it sound like Erik is a one man show.

Not at all. There ARE scores of talented people at BMC.

I am just not certain that BMC without EB could survive.

At the 25th, Erik talked about his 200 year plan. I can assure you, Buell is just getting started!

For a dead man walking EB looked pretty alive at Harley's PDC last week I've been told. He wasn't seen cleaning any offices, packing boxes, giving hugs/kisses or being escorted out of the building.

As part of the contract between EB and HD, if Erik is booted he can take the Buell brand name with him.

In true Blues fashion, all the times I am required to fill out my address for any "customer" info, it comes back to a vacant lot (we have no Wrigley here)
They must try and deliver a mound of junk mail there daily in my name.

They're done when the Honda/Harley merger is completed.

It's true, I was CCed on the email.

Dear Random Aprilla Dude,

I am hading in my pink slip and I wanted you to know first hand. Please tell any Bueller you see this news as I am not going to announce the "pink slippage" myself and would rather leave it to your capable hands.

Thank you,
EB
CTO

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate myself as being the newly appointed CTO of the Buell Motorcycle Company.

My bold new plan will only take 200 days vs the former 200 year plan, after all I am not Dorian Grey.

Being a Green Lantern of this sector, serving under both versions of the corps and being acutely aware of the mounting costs due to liability and litigation of selling Motorcycles, I have decided to immediately cease production of all current models.

You may ask where this leaves BMC and it's loyal consumer base? My answer is why simply "own the the corners" When you can corner a Galaxy!

Introducing the 2009 Buell XP2814 Power Ring.









Small, sleek and powered by cheap, renewable willpower.
Corral a Meteor shower, put a halt to any insurgencies that may pop up on Rigel 6, or with a little practice and concentration, split Atoms and wow your buds!

M.S.R.P is $265,950, 450 U.S. Expensive yes, but cheaper than 2009 Mets, Yankees, Jets or Giants season tickets. Litigation and liability? Not when you can simply banish the offending Lawyer to the antimatter universe of Qward! In closing I see the upcoming 200 days as a new chapter in the storied history of Buell and a new age of order for the Universe. So in closing I invite you to try out the ultimate hooligan device and join me in paving a new road to the end of creation.
