>>>Breaking that tie is a BIG issue that needs to happen.
I assure you that the descendants of George (who made a nifty $985,000,000 in a single afternoon when the pound was "set free") are eagerly waiting. My wives firm is a small private firm that does nothing but bet currencies against each other.
It's an interesting business and too scary for me. |

Try telling her that . . . I see you've never met her.
Both Erik and I have wives who prove you don't have to be very big to be REALLY tough!

Those two wifes not not tough, they are amoung the sweetest, nicest young ladies I have ever met. Of course I don't have to explain the painted dog. |

Yeah and Erik didn't hang you out for harboring an "unlisted amplifier" acquired in her absence.
Not a problem . . . he's temporarily cornered in "guitar purgatory" and I'm about ready to make my next move.

I haven't really kept up in this thread, because there is so much garbage in it. But I get the impression there is some good stuff hidden in here. I wish there were a way to extract the useful posts. |

I don't understand the point anti-HD of some of you, I bought my XB because it had a HD-like engine. I like HD and if I was living in Miami probably will have a Fatboy or a VROD, but for the twisty roads in Mallorca (Spain) and for urban rides it's much better an XB, maybe I only trade it for an Ulysses. The 1125R is a great improvement for the Buell company and will appeal to many people that don't like HD. I think that's smart, if they don't drop the HD connection, now HD-Buell have a bike that can compete in specs (and price) with any other. |

Jim,
Think before you speak.
Even if you knew his wife, and you'd had a drink or two, that kind of talk might find you laying on your back looking up at the chandelier.

I think 'Jimi' is making a joke about HIS wife, he probably only has one person to fear there, and like the rest of us that FEAR is a well known and appreciated factor already! |

Many of my sportbike riding buddies are anti-harley. In my opinion, harley itself is to blame for some of the ridicule aimed at it. Walk into most HD shops and you see more clothes and chrome than bikes. I went to one HD store that had a grand total of 4 bikes for sale, then had the next three big rooms devoted entirely to clothing and accessories. It's obvious they're selling image, as long as that image has a harley logo attached.
But that's a business plan that's worked for harley and its many customers, so who's to argue with success?
I do know that the 1125R has garnered interest among the sportbike crowd I hang with. They've never cared a whit about Buells before because of that archaic Sportster engine, great handling be damned. But now, I think you'll see a lot more hardcore sport riders suddenly entering the previously forbidden zone of HD stores. |

And bringing in their Ducs for trade too ;) Have already priced out two monsters for trade-in on the 1125R (and it is a painful wholesale number) IF I had the bike already, I know it would have already been sold (hint to Buell to get me the bikes on the west coast before our riding season ends!) |

Is this the future Buell?
Have a look at http://www.ecossespirit.com
At least it's inspired on Buell, look at the front brake and muffler. The rest is Formula 1 technology.

That Spirit looks amazing. I read about it in a moto-rag earlier this week.
I actually emailed the folks at Ecosse about how great their other custom bikes looked while regretting that I might never have enough money to purchase one.
They sent me a t-shirt...which I thought was pretty cool. |
