2010 was my second Homecoming. First was the 25th. The first thing I noticed about Erik was seeing the sparkle in his eyes anytime he talked with one of us owners. At Blackhawk (wow almost 4 weeks ago) one of the small crowd around an 1190 asked him about the "carbon fiber" fairing stays... He launched into "Deep Engineering" talking about the composites and the sparkle doubled. Passion. I don't understand how ANYBODY that has met him wasn't duly impressed.... NEVER SAY DIE Z |

This truly is amazing. Where else can you find a group of people (fanatics?) who will come together at the drop of a hat, from all over the country (and the GLOBE), with no real plan other than to "get together and have a ride" (Last Ride), or to "see what might be happening soon, someday" and just to say "here we are!" (Homecoming '10). The support is amazing. The people are amazing. "The Man" is amazing (and I'll back Court - Erik looks happier and healthier than I have ever seen him). The mystique is amazing, and it's growing. More and more I'm out riding and meet folks, either at a Burger King or a gas station or some other random place (the most recent was a bar one night, I was wearing a Buell shirt): "you ride a Buell? That's cool...and man, it SUCKS what Harley did to those guys...". I've always had pride in my choice of motorcycles, but now...something as simple as seeing those five letters on my speedometer face as I go down the road makes me swell with happiness. These people are amazing. These events are amazing. And I'm proud to be called a part of it, no matter how small a role I may be playing. I only wish I had the means to do more. |

that was another great radio interview. I love it because since that dreaded day that has been my big thing is that as long as he keeps reminding the non buell nuts that he is still kickin he will be able to start over. |

Sparky, you are on the Laguna list Tim, don't fret, these will be available for a while yet, and Erik will always be in need of a little support. Something I heard at Homecoming has been ringing in my ears through out this whole shirt process. Someone said "Buell doesn't have customers, they have fans. What customer would ride hundreds of miles across the country, just to meet the man" Obviously the same people that would give their own hard earned money to help him with his dream. The pride overfloweth |

I will chip in tomorrow but I doubt I will be able to chip in enough for the shirt but I will still give what I can. Besides the shirt is not important having a part in putting tires one a race bike is the only reward I need. |

Damn... Got me! Except is it USPS, FEDEX or UPS? Reason is, Fedex normally needs a sig and UPS leaves it at the door! I do have someone getting my mail, but i wanna give them a heads up! (Message edited by americanmadexb on July 14, 2010) |

"Someone said "Buell doesn't have customers, they have fans. What customer would ride hundreds of miles across the country, just to meet the man" Erik Buell has brothers and sisters in arms- I'd have to say it goes a little beyond "fans". "True Believers" is about right. I've owned many bikes over the years, ridden many more than that- my XB really "translates" my momentum and inputs better than anything else I've tried. Looking forward to a late evening sortie through Deal's Gap Thursday- may do the Cherohala then the Gap tomorrow just to reload my brain with the particulars first.

Mike: If you are planning on going to Mid-Ohio . . drop me a note and I'll be sure to send a shirt for you. There are restrictions (lots of them) that prevent selling at the track so I want to make certain that all the folks who want them there can pick them up. Court |
