In lue of recent events, and due to the fact that I never wanted to leave BadWeB, Blake and I have decided to give us a try again. He is not asking me to do this, but I would like to make two apologies first before my letter. One, to all the American service men and women whom I may have offended in previous posts, I am sorry. My freedoms are defended by you valor. Thank you for your service. Two, to Al at American Sportbike, sorry to involve you in the crossfire, you are truly an asset to our Buell community. I mailed this off this morning, and I hope some of you here will do the same and drop Erik a note. Erik Buell 2799 Buell Drive East Troy, WI 53120 Dear Erik Buell, I am pained at the news you broke to us yesterday in your video at Buell.com. As a fellow garage shop engineer, inventor, machinist, music lover, artist, biker, patenteer, free-thinker, motorcycle racer and passionate SOB, I take your loss personally and to heart. I want you to know that I BELIEVE IN YOU, and that you will always find a comrade in me if you need one. Over the last two years and twenty thousand miles, I have enjoyed motorcycling on your creation more than the entirety of my 26 years on two wheels. I have owned nearly twenty motorcycles in my life, and I can honestly tell you that there is no grater motorcycle on this planet than what you have created. Your motorcycle and your friends have consumed me, I am forever a Bueller. Your inspirational vision and dedication to creating for me the XB12R is truly appreciated. Sincerely, Your Buell Bro, Eric Ryan aka Hex Owner Ryan Rod Company Maker HexAngler Roseville, CA. |

Hex, guys...I have a thread in Quick Board titled Lets get pro-active. Please read through this and help us all come up with real ideas to save this. I will write my letter to Eric as well. Apology accepted Eric, it takes a humble man to apologize, thank you. Tim (former US Army Aviation 1977-78 and again 2001-2004) |
