Nice piece if you get a chance to read it. they ask him something about his relationship and possibility of a Can Am/Erik Buell bike. Response = I can't talk about that.... Hmmmmmmm

Apparently after this month, he can no longer use his own name if I read the interview with Alan Cathcart correctly.

Strange piece... both Alan and Erik are Anglophones, yet the interview was translated and published on an Italian website. What I read was a Google translation FROM the Italian. Very strange.

Here's the link:

Treat some of these interviews with a grain of salt . . things tend to get lost, morphed and sometimes end up more what the interviewer expected to say rather than what was actually said.

I've no specific problems with this interview but have seen at least one with some pulled from the air bizarre thoughts that were attributed as "quotes".

Topics he touches on:
1. he dislikes loud motorcycles on the street
2. his dedication to current Buell owners and former workers.
3. How Harley let him get back in the bike business so soon (voiding a clause and why they did it)
4. How Harley held back his ability to build great sportbikes
5. HIS DESIRE TO BUILD STREET BIKES!!!!
6. His quest for an investor(s)
7. His respect for Honda
8. What Erik Buell Racing can do for you today on your 1125

He did not mention
1. Dirt Bikes
2. A streetbike release date
3. Relationship with RatPack
4. use for the exhaust/swingarm combo on a future bike....

Those 8 items look like they could have come straight from Erik's scratch pad . . .
