As a black Bueller, I just have to say that it is time for all owners of black Buells to stand and be counted.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all Buell American Motorcycles are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former black Buellers and the sons of former orange Buellers will be able to sit down together at a table of Buellerhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Buell, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice blowing on your inner right thigh and Harley-Davidson dealer oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of MotoGP-speed and superior handling. I have a dream that my three children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their bikes but by the content of their hard bags...

Okay so it's MLK, but it could have easily been Erik.

OOh, make sure you keep those WARNING stickers. I removed mine and the bike instantly picked up 5 Hp, but I voided the warranty on the WARNING sticker adhesive. I reckon it's a trade-off.

I said it before; people with colorful lives tend to get Orange Ulys, while people with drab, monochromatic personalities gravitate toward the black bikes.

Jim,

Eor performed a color reassignment procedure on himself. It likely took months of counseling and a number of hormone injections to complete the transformation. I saw something like this on the Discovery Health Channel once.

Hey Crusty,

You nailed it. Did you learn that by watching "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?"

"Hey Crusty,

naw, hes just comfortable enough in his heterosexuality to not worry about other "men", who question their own and get a uly in black. to make up in any perceived shortcomings. some of us dont need to compensate and can ride orange, without worrying how the "other half" thinks of us.

Naw; I just observed what kind of people on this board spout off the most about why the lack of color is superior to a color that is dynamic and attractive.

So based on your observation, you think the guys with the orange bikes are more dynamic and attractive? Ummm...okay. I'll take your word for it.

Ordered my orange one today. So far orange is outselling black 3 to 1 at my dealer.

NEWS FLASH!
The Buell Motor Co. has announced that due to the overwhelming response to the color ORANGE, that they will be continuing to offer the color on the '07 models! Meanwhile with the poor acceptance of the non color BLACK, the color will be dropped from the line up shortly!
Erik was overheard saying, "It's just as well, the orange ones were faster and we have used up the bucket of H-D black paint that came with the buy out deal!"

(Buell lawyers, please insert disclaimer here.)

It doesn't matter what color you ride until it's time to trade them in. Then the black ones are worth more to the dealer!
