R.I.P. Buell Motor Co.

I was never a big fan of Erik's Harley powered bikes, but I have always admired his drive, passion, innovative thinking and design. It's a shame that profit-taking on Wall Street can lead to these type of moves. (This was a stock-raising announcement, by the new CEO, who does not ride, BTW, FYI. :debil: )

I have a feeling that we have not seen the last of Erik's work yet. ;)

That sort of stuff happens when you sell out control of your company. Too bad but I'm sure something better will come of his ideas.

I really hope we haven't heard the last of Erik Buell. All the work he put in to his bikes and company just to have H-D shut it down. :coocoo:

Not a big suprise there. It's a shame, as there are about 180 people employed by Buell in East Troy, and there is NOTHING else around...

Damn. What's DMG gonna do now? :whoa: ;) :laugh:

I feel bad for Eric Buell and his employees but I fart in Roger Edmonsons general direction. :nener:

I like watching NHRA drag racing. Is it possible the Buell team will be HD from now on?

Maybe HD needs some extra money for the plant they want to build in India. ;)
