that article set in stone a decision i made when i first heard about Buell getting the axe, and especially when I saw Erik's video on the website. Despite having ridden three Harleys of different types (a Night Rod, a Softail Deluxe w tc96 and a Dyna T-Sport w/ tc88) and being impressed by all three (excepting the NR's horrible low chassis and subsequent handling) I will NEVER buy a new Harley Davidson. NO ONE that works for HD Motor Company will EVER see one red cent of my money. I hope they fold. I wish Erik the best with his new company, and would be happy to buy the 1190 the moment the finances and street legality allow.
