... that we (collectively) can send Erik and Co. a note? It may not be much, but it broke my heart to watch that video. A few thousand emails voicing support might do a little to brighten his day. I'd like to tell him again how much I appreciate everything he (they) have done. Post up if you know one. R |

I have owned H-D's for over 10 years and still have one. I am on my 2d Buell (ULY) and LOVE it! I ride my 06 Buell more than my $$ 08 H-D. Based on today I'm not planning repeat business with H-D. I sure hope Erik can keep building those fantastic machines otherwise I'll just keep the ULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel very sorry for Erik and the entire Buell staff as I have attended the homecoming a couple times and they are some of the nicest, most dedicated workers I have met! |

Yup I feel the same way about HD dumping the Buell brand. Watching the video was gut wrenching and I'm new to the Buell brand. Regardless of what has happened I still feel obligated and wanting to pass my thanks to any and all who have contributed to creating my Uly. Sam |

This is what I got last year when I was in the hospital. My card will be going out to this address. And no, it's not a stamp. It's a signature. THAT is the kind of person he is. Incredible.

I can't respond to all the threads tonight . . I HAVE to respond to this one. I know how Erik rose to the occasion for the American Servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be absolutely wonderful if folks would send TWO cards. One to Erik. One to THE ELVES (I'll have them posted in the lunch room) Buell Motorcycle Company 2799 Buell Drive East Troy, WI 53120 I'm betting you can't believe how much joy Erik would get taking these home and being able to read them in the evening. It's important. You guys are wonderful. |

I'll definitely send the cards. If anyone hears of an investment group forming, please contact me. I believe in these bikes enough to invest my future in them. |

Send the good stuff to Erik and the Elves... Don't forget to send HD corporate (you know the guys who only want to sell old cruisers designs, chrome and death head skulls) a piece of your mind. It will not change anything but it will sure feel good. Maybe somebody (Willie G?) will understand the emotion out there. Very strange events..."poof" Buell is gone... |

Don't remember who the quote comes from but here it is. The toughest man to beat is the one Who won't give up.(Buell family) Webe P.S. Erick,Court and Elves Home is here on BadWeb family is just a thread ,e-mail,or call away.Don't forget about all the events that go on because of the groups in BadWeb and what was created from a man with a dream for a motorcycle. But much more was birthed through that dream of a motorcycle,and Harley can't own that.They can't see past the chrome because it has to be experienced by living and living by the experience.

I just wrote my letter to Erik...something I've meant to do for a long time, it's a shame I had to wait till now. I'm also gonna get a card and maybe a picture of me and Ashley with our Buells for the Elves. I'll send them out this afternoon. If it gets lost with an outpouring of letters I couldn't be happier. I hope the mailmen show up like in "Miracle on 34st Street" with bags and bags of letters. We Believe in Elves!!! (Message edited by not_purple_s2 on October 16, 2009) |

Just made a couple of cards- the front was a pic taken from a ride down in NC, a hand written note, and inside was a pic of our 2 bikes from a recent camping trip up north. They will go out today. Thanks for the info, giving us an avenue to express gratitude for heart and soul put in, and sorrow for their loss. Court, any chance you can take a pic of all the card that show up and get posted? Could be kinda cool to see. |

I placed two cards in the Mailbox outside of the 2799 building. I couldn't get the cards to squeeze through the door. I don't know if they got them or not. One was to Erik, and one was to the Elves. I sure hope they got them. |
