So this afternoon my wife was going through a bin of old stuff that she had gotten from her dad. While going through it she pulls out this 1997 NFL season preview magazine. When flip the magazine over I am blown away to see John Elway posing with what I believe is an S3. It is not a Buell ad, but I have never come across this picture before. So I thought I would share it with all of you. Enjoy....

At least one of them has good taste.
I guess Aikman picked the short straw.

I've heard the name. I guess he's NOT a NASCAR driver?

Well, if I ever get stuck next to him on a plane, now I can ask him if he still has his Buell.

met Elway a few years back
I was working at a photography studio and he was in to shoot a commercial
Nice guy
We were allowed to bring one item in (each) to get autographed. I chose a football.

I just gave that ball away to a Broncos fan two months ago. That was the first time out of a cardboard box since getting the thing signed back in 2004ish

as for Troy drawing the short straw- what? Stupid comments...

elway is a hall of fame QB from the Broncos I was not a huge fan but to my brother inlaw he was/is god.
My guess is they did not own these bikes they were provided for the shoot.

Be careful not to poke your eye out on the frame!
Fat Boys, choppers, each to their own, I suppose.

If you look closely, those are computer renderings done over photos of the real Buell components. That page is also from 2008 and I don't see any evidence that they found ten people dumb enough to want one.

It also looks like Cheetah Choppers was a spinoff of Cheetah Trikes. If you had this and a case of Brawndo, you too could be president of the United States:

You do have that Herman Munster look going on in the back, though.
It needs a 4' high naugahyde King/Queen seat for the passenger and maybe some iron cross mirrors.
