The mailman delivered this to my mailbox at work sometime this week, thought it was pretty freakin' cool.



Part of the article reads: "The Hero Blue Translucid tank airbox covers and flyscreens got top honors in the Recreation and Leisure category. The Structural Plastics Division (SPD) contest recognizes innovative plastic parts that bear loads, provide support, or enclose a product... The polymer blend's "see through" styling helps attract younger riders to the street bikes while its good structural properties keep windscreens and covers stable at high speeds."

Also of note, for those who have wondered, the article identifies the material in the flyscreens and tank covers as: polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate (PC/PBT).

Buell, Great work! Way too cool to get paid to read about it this morning!

I saw that around the office the other day. Of course, this led into a Buell class of instruction / indoctrination with one of the engineers.

I meant to tell you before. I'm at John Deere PEC in Waterloo as an RPT. We'll have to talk sometime.
