I agree 100%. "The remote controlled" engineer. I read Court's and Dave's book, but cannot remember off hand under which circumstances the 2nd 50% of Buell were picked up by HD in 1998. Could Erik somehow have kept control rather than handing his dream over to the corporate committee?

F***ing spectacular. Best piece I've read yet.

Even those that don't agree with him respect him.

I should hope for such a position in my life and times.

I find the read a little biased in the respect that the founder is more so the reason for BMC being no more.

Tagging someone a Son of a bitch is less than that of good journalism.

Cool(?) for what has taken place(?)...If one was in those shoes...I wonder.

Calling him a SOB was not a bad thing. Its like calling someone a MoFo you don't want to mess with.

I can't believe it even needs explaining.
