So last night i was lucky enough to meet the one and the only Erik Buell. He was doing a meet and greet / Q&A at my local Indian/EBR dealer. It was very cool, he went over in detail every aspect on the new EBR's. He was very approachable and a super nice guy. I was able to get a picture with him and have him sign my flyscreen off my X1. Couple that with the free beer and food, and it was a solid night.

Looks great! If I'm ever headed somewhere that there's a chance of seeing him, I'd definitely toss my flyscreen in my backpack just in case.

I'm also jealous that you have a combo EBR/Indian dealership. That's everything I could ever seen out of a motorcycle dealership haha.

That's way to cool to hang on the wall!
Put it back on your bike and let the world see it.

If he's still using the same pens, sunlight will fade it. He signed my bike twice and you can't see either place anymore.

Markers are not UV stable. He would need to use a UV stable paint pen.
If it will be a wall hanging maybe have someone clear coat it with something that wont erase it and nake sure its UV stable. Would make a cool plac with the picture.

Yeah, I tried clear coating the second time and it still faded, leaving a round patch of clear coat visible. Still grateful for the memory of having met him - a truly gracious man.

Thanks guys, He was super nice and informative. I really really want a white 1190rx but i cant afford one of those right now. Either way, i ditched this flyscreen a long time ago so it will only be for decoration now. Great experience meeting him. As for the pens. I had him use a Milwaukee Inkzall. not sure if it will help with durability, but im sure it didnt hurt.

Mike,
Where are you from. I was at the seminar too. Talked with Erik for a while. I couldn't go to NY city for the show. My back decided to give out. I'm in Bloomingdale.
