Yeah, the comments are difficult to read. It's interesting how many people look at Buell with such negativity.

What is so wrong with wanting an American innovator to succeed? Why is it so hard for many to just live and let live?

Very nice article, which I enjoyed reading. Thanks for posting this Steve.

>>>dimwitted broad

Key words.

The recalls talk is ridiculous. Go to the NHTSA website, pick a year and compare Buell to ANY motorcycle company.

Use your own research, think and you'll easily be able to sort fact from fancy.

Eric's lookin a bit like Bono (of u-2). If he's not going to revive Buell, then he should get politically active and run for President...He'd get my vote.

Two detractors and positive comments from everyone else. Seems quite likely that would be somewhat representative of the general opinions of Buell. The personal attacks on Erik are amusing in that if someone had that ax to grind and held actual accurate information, they would be quick to release it in a public forum.

If your going to attack the guy, at least spell his name correctly. If you have all this "damning information" and cant spell his name, it isnt very convincing or intelligent looking.

Good read, thanks. It looks me that most of the comments were positive but as some of the posters have written, maybe some have been removed.

The level of ignorance displayed by some of the posters is staggering.

"The level of ignorance displayed by some of the posters is staggering."

Damn, ain't that the truth. The dimwitted broad's comments may be trumped with the stupidity of Limoman's post:
Great, what we need inour community.. More Motorcycles
More Factory Jobs..

Only one thing? The Income Produced from just one Computer program being sold generates more $ for everyone from the Co. to the state than the top 50 factory jobs in the state!

And only thing they need Unskilled labor from the factories to do is janitor work..and landscaping..

We need to be headed into the 21st century and not into the 20th with Promoting Motorcycles..and factory jobs.

If I remember right,,,,,,,,,,,,, Harley has in its wake a laundry list of motorcycle companies that went tits up because of their racing and manufacturing politics. If its better than Harley, crush the company.. Buell just happens to be the last debacle.
Crocker, & Indian were a couple that comes to mind.
This chick seems to think Buell has a problem?
I was trying my best not to post on there yesterday.

Is he actually wearing clothes that don't say Buell on them?

Looks like a Columbia pull-over, but I would bet there is a Buell shirt on underneath.

With my ever growing collection of Buell clothes and paraphernalia, it is hard for me to go a day without Buell.
