Thank you for that. I appreciate the chance to get to know the man who built the bike I love a little better.

Erik..."They [HD] gave me a license to make parts and even new Buell race bikes until December 31, 2010"

So what happens after December 31, 2010?

Will be interesting to see. Maybe the license will get extended. Maybe they will build bikes they don't need a license for. I have this feeling they won't just call it quits on Dec 31. : )

Does that mean that current Uly parts that they sell will no longer be available? If so and you have thought about buying a Erik Buell Racing ecm then you better buy one before 12/31.

Another great insight to the man behind the machine. I recently watched a couple YouTube videos titled "A Tour of Erik Buell's Barn" that was a really cool insight to Erik as well.



I'm a little torn between picking up a third Buell from what's out there down and holding out to see what he does next. Really can't wait to see what he does once the non-compete agreement expires.

My favorite quote:

"Plenty of time for a redneck to holler out on the TV show, "Dayum, look at the power of that Hurley-Dayvudson!," or some equally edifying treatise."
