Well ya see Dave, I kept WARNIN' Erik that he could take this whole "mass-centralization" thing TOO FAR, but would he LISTEN???!!!

And yeah guys, this really is sad news for all of motorcycling, as it's always a shame when an innovative engineer such as Erik Buell actually has the balls and fortitude to see his brainchild become a reality for many others to share out there on the road, but much too soon it appears is succumbed by the pressures of the marketplace out there eventually also.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
