Back in the Eighties, I worked for the Kentucky State Police as a Radio Shop Technician. One day a Trooper brought in the Governors Car to replace the antennas that had been broke off in a Car-wash. As I was working on the car the Trooper (Governors Driver) came up to me and started talking about Motorcycles and how he Loved to Ride. I wish I could remember his Name. He told me Stories of Racing at Daytona on the K-Model Harley Davidson and having the motor blow, sliding to a stop and kicking the bike away from him to keep from burning up with it. Riding a Fireball at close to a hundred miles per hour cannot be any fun. He told me that he held a couple National Titles including a Win at Daytona from back in the Fifties. I really wish I could remember his Name.

With all that has been said about the Blast Cube and the B.O.B. it reminded me of the Old Racer and his Passion for Racing and Winning. I can see Erik Buell’s reason for wanting to build the Best, Race the Best and Win, Passion to be Number One. I have to Admire and Respect Erik Buell for that.

Agreed, and good comparison.

Did you mean to spell been (bin) in reference to cubing a Blast in a metal bin?
