I don't know if I like the looks of these elves. "Engine builder Eric Weber “Eroc” and chassis builder Elliot Malzahn recently put the finishing touches on their first three editions, whose fairings will get custom paint treatments to celebrate their return. Weber began building motorcycles at the Buell factory in 1996. Malzahn began in 2000." Oh come on, Ourdee. Eroc is an AWESOME dude! I've known him since - well - 1996. I should have known Elliot from back in the day, but I know I've interfaced with him in the original EBR days. |

I met Erok at the Fire Sale/Homecoming a couple of years ago. Passionate and knowledgeable, we spent several hours together looking at assets. I'm so happy to see Bill taking this further. Z |

Maybe I should tell the guy with the 1190RS on Craigslist in Los Angeles that the bike is worth more than $5500.00 https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/d/2013-bue ll-1190-extra-carbon/6754705122.html |

FYI: Apparently Erik Buell is NOT involved with his namesake company anymore. This is entirely the "Melvin Brothers Show" from what I understand. |

It's not the fellows. It's the location that is hurting my feelings. That Black Lightning Low may be coming out to torture Crusty. We all know it needs to be Translucent Red. Would Sandy Claws make his elves leave the North Pole and work on toys in Mi.? If you buy a 2019 bike are you really able to call it Home Coming in East Troy? Brankin, Imagine the grief I'd be posting if they weren't East Troy factory trained. |

That price sounds like a scam. The Ohlins alone are $10k... wish I had an extra $6k |

Apparently Erik Buell is NOT involved with his namesake company anymore. There’s not really any reason for him to be involved at this point. I’m sure LAP couldn’t afford to pay Erik to sit around twiddling his thumbs, or even designing new bikes with no hope of building them,w for the last couple of years. The big question is if LAP did find a buyer for EBR, would Erik have any interest in being involved now? |
