Re: Harley To sell Buell & M.V.

My disillusionment with the MoCo is now finally and utterly complete....and sadly my days in the Riders Club are now sadly numbered, as they aren't going to be making my preferred steed.

Heartfelt sympathy to Eric Buell and the team for making something different and renewing my love of going round corners far to fast for my advancing years

.....but on the plus side i won't be putting another cent in the MoCo coffers.

FUCK THE FACTORY

Sad news really, but a sign of the times.

Buell and the MoCo have always been strange bedfellows - one was into race style speed and handling, the other into straight road retro style cruising. I seem to remember that pre-acquisition there were stories that HD tried to prevent Buell from buying engines and other assemblies from them to use in his bikes.

Re: Harley To sell Buell & M.V.

I haven't been rallying mostly for 'head related' reasons, but given some of the shenanigans i've missed maybe its for the best and i'll remember the great times I've had.

Ditto.

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day...

Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Re: Harley To sell Buell & M.V.

very very sad news

ironic that the bike eric designed for the factory the rubber mount electraglide outlasted his own company

guess the value of buells now will only go one way and that is up

buy one now if you are thinking about it
