One of the Erik Buell Racing 1125R Daytona Sportbike spec bikes is going through the knife this weekend on the History Channel. Check it out! The show is called "Sliced". Looks like the premier for the Erik Buell Racing portion is this Saturday at 1:00PM. http://www.history.com/shows/sliced/episodes/#slid e-13 Geoff rode for the track portion of the show and rode the heck out of it. They then took it to the studio to cut it down the center to show everyone what makes it tick. Pretty cool!!! Erik Buell Racing, Rat Pak Records, and Sportbike Track Time all get some coverage. Nice! Spread the word!!! | ||

This sounds great and all, but it's not what the History channel website says. They say the next new episode is 6/24 and it's all about electronics. There is no Sliced episode scheduled on my History Channel for this Sunday. More details please! I don't what to miss this! | ||

The next episode is on 6/19 "all terrain". In 1909, the first off-road vehicles crawled across snow-bound roads in Russia. Today, millions of people ride high-powered machines to burn around curves, skim over waves, and churn through mud. To find out what they're capable of, John's putting the pedal to the metal on a Jet Ski, an ATV, and a racing motorcycle. He'll slice open the secrets to their power and speed. I'll be watching! | ||

 And just as Geoff is getting ready . . out of a sunny clear blue sky . . . KAPOW!  But as quickly as it came . . it was gone and Geoff was "GAME ON".  | ||

And now . . . a word from one of our SPONSORS.   | ||

So they're going to cut the bike in half to show us how great it is? That's sort of a perverse reward for being good isn't it? | ||

I heard about this about a month ago, I have to admit the photos that I saw kinda made me mad. Knowing... (well i guess not KNOWING) assuming a limited amount of bikes that are going to come out of E.T. and KNOWING how great they are kinda hurt.My first reaction was that it was just a hack-it up kinda thing. Now after stewing on it and seeing that there is support for this, I cant wait. I just hope ( and I am confident) that is is done in good taste. Thanks for the heads up. I think I will have to throw some pork on the grill to watch this. | ||

Wait, so they are doing this WHILE WE ARE AT HOMECOMING???? Thank God for DVRs! | ||
| Court |
We traditionally slice one Buell owner in half every Homecoming to show what makes them work. :-) | ||
| Bishopjb1124 |
There is no sliced because Saturday is the 19th. I just set my DVR the show time 1400 or 2PM for all you civilian types. Jimmy | ||

We sliced Court in half one year to try and find some of those "remind me to tell you" stories. He stitched back together real nice. Who should we do this year? | ||
| Firstbuell |
well, regardless, now that you have our attention..... please tell us whenever this "Sliced" episode really does finally run on TV thx | ||
| U4euh |
The Harley CEO, Wandell. Enquiring minds really want to know | ||
| Court |
We've never sliced a Peugeot? That'd be cool. By the way . . . this Homecoming could be better than some in the past cause Erik's pissed at me and trying to find me to kick my ass. If you see a pudgy guy with disguise glasses and a mustache . . . bump me and say hello . . but just don't say my name. . . . anyone got a disguise kit? | ||
| Crackhead |
Erik pissed at Court...... what story did you tell that you were not suppose to? | ||
| Davegess |
Erik is in real trouble, Court and I are determined the "help"pull this event off. Without all the H-D staff to chase us away we could seriously screw something up. Should be fun  | ||
| Court |
>>>Should be fun Already is . . . ever seen a 60 year old man scream? This has all the makings of the best Homecoming ever. . . . Dave and I . . . . running wild and totally out of control! P.S. - I am the one with the "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" card from the East Troy P.D. | ||

It is starting to sound like your guys just graduated from high school and are going on senior week, but this time you have money. | ||
| Davegess |
but this time you have money And we are old enough to think we know better. | ||
| Court |
Think???...think???? They expect us to think? Erik and I .... If he catches me .... May end up wrestling in the square! I acted without "thinking". .... At least in his opinion. Hahahaha | ||
| Davegess |
My thinking part gets turned off a 5 pm Thursday so I better stay away from Erik. Court, you bringing any books? I have maybe 6 that I will bring. I don't think we will see demand for dozens but there might be a couple of folks who want a copy. i will bring the ones I have. PS don't tell Erik what I told you about that stuff we talked about; I want to be able to blame it all on you | ||
| M2statz |
I know that I would like a book!! If it is the same one that I am thinking that it is, and if I could get it signed that would be even better!! | ||

""but this time you have money" "And we are old enough to think we know better."" And old enough to buy your own booze. Some how I am seeing every pig in Wisconsin being rounded up and put on top of the HD Museum. | ||
| Davegess |
Some how I am seeing every pig in Wisconsin Now there is an idea! Court you know anyone who rents helicopters? | ||
| Court |
Yes In fact we have a highly placed Badwebber who diocesan aviation dept plum chocked full of whirlybird birds. | ||
| Davegess |
I can get pigs if you can get a chopper! | ||

I believe they posted the wrong date. This show airs on Thursdays @ 10/9c. Their next episode is the 24th, which is a Thursday, so the Buell episode is tomorrow. |
