Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | I ride a Buell cause I have one to ride, plus often my wife will be out on my RoadKing so that's what's left in the garage. Plus it's a hoot with that turbo. Plus it's such a cool bike. Plus that damned Canfield guy infected me with this Buell disease. Plus the looks and comments I get where ever I take it. |
