>>>be really cool is if Discovery
I've had two calls from shows about bikes in NYC this year. One of our good "Buell friends", as you may know, is a fairly noted producer of A&E and History Channel documentaries.
He just did Frank Gehry. . . . Who knows....
Could happen. .

I wish there were a downloadable form that I could watch in my barracks, so I could turn the volume in my headphones up without ignoring the other people in my tent... Great commercial! |

I had an idea for a 'reality' show that would probably be pretty easy to work.. Not too much money, and some real human drama etc..
Court, maybe you can put me in touch with your buddy and I'll 'pitch' the idea to him..  |

We didn't mention more patents because
Anony - Perhaps at the end, right after it says own the corners, you could have the background fade in all the patent numbers. Just something so that people know the company has more than 3 patents. |

Idler Pulleys were around a long time before Buell. No patent for Buell, but it is good that they use one. |

Actually we did get a patent for the idler pulley, because no one has ever used one the way we do. |

Husqvarna had a similar system to keep chain-slack down to a minimum in the late 70's, but their system used fixed nylon blocks, not rollers.
They probably never got it patented, though. |

Jlnance,
You are absolutely right!
Dj,
There have been plenty of rollers and guides, but none of the prior systems do the specific job for which we got the patent. |

Somebody mentioned a Husqvarna? Brings back memories of watching Malcom Smith in "On Any Sunday" filmed in the early 70's . Man, that guy could ride. |

!!!SWEET!!!
Makes me proud to own a Buell. Glad I went for a ride Saturday morning (Burning through the various freeway ramps and clover leafs) or that would have me going nuts for a ride!

Had an idler pulley on my dirt bike, It used a sprocketed wheel that turned with the chain. It helped the chain retain tension through the suspensions long movement. It was centered near the swingarms pivot. Spring loaded also. The year was 1975 |

Spring loaded also
Thats the difference with the Buell one. It isn't spring loaded. |
