Sold the Uly this morning. Bit sad, but sounds like it's going to a good home.

Now EB, where's my dual sport?

Check with Court not sure if its the AX or one of the others. Getting him in trouble Like the ULY pic is fun. HDs legal eagles wont get him But Erik might. Its the beginning of another remind me to tell you line.

Poke him for info

Hahahaha.......I'd forgotten about my " a year premature" announcement of the Ulysses.

Didn't take long, on that New Years Day, for that photo to get the phone ringing in NYC.

I know nothing ........ But sense I've not yet bought my last Buell.

Nope.

Own one of the most famous old tubers. I'm a happy guy.

I know what the next two bikes in my house will likely be. I'll buy the 2nd one.

Been a few other threads about it - we're moving home, well to Brisbane, and short story is bikes purchased overseas aren't very welcome in Aus. No taxes, so they make it difficult - cost and compliance-wise.

It still is my favorite bike - if I only have one bike to do it all.

For purely selfish pleasures my favourite bike is the HP2 Megamoto, but it's almost twice as many $ as the Uly and can't carry a passenger.

Lets just say in a imaginary world, that I have seen the "Skunk-Works"....He can not make money on a very low production $40.000 superbike. The next Uly (it will not be called that) It will use the 1125 rotax in a very mild state of tune,slim, with a low C.G !Also expect a middle-weight fighter ,like a Triumph 675......Dirt-moto bike in the works but no market at this time..I can post photos of the new bikes, but he would probably hire someone to shoot me!! As soon as I get A picture of one on the street, I will post it.

Bit off topic, I gotta say I like dealing with you Aus people. Just last night I was talking with some for a work related thing and I must say, the Aus are some nice folks to deal with. Got a few laughs during that one.

Sorry folks, I'm totally into "tubers".
Here's the latest addition to the stable.

Can't wait for the next set of Buells.

It'll likely be along while before I am able to purchase on, but the mere possibility that I'll have the opportunity to is exciting!

I've got one last purchase left in me. I hope Erik Buell Racing has something for me before too long.

Nice Brad.

Is that a new exhaust system or an intake?

Purely exhaust!
Real nice tone to it, when you hit the throttle, it really screams.....

Yea I want a "Son of Ulysses" badly. My old knees are starting to really hate the STT after about 2-3 hours. I can ride the KLR all day as it's got more legroom but it's no where near as fun, like a work truck instead of a 'Vette! I am even looking (ashamed to say it) at a 1200GS, but the fire's just not there.

You think if I beg, Erik and crew will get the AX out sooner?
