If you have not read the September issue of road-racing world magazine I highly encourage it as there is a really good article about Erik Buell and the factory in it. This article was all positive and it talks about all kinds of buell stuff from the farm house with the prototypes that the pictures of were posted up here a while back to the Author getting to ride a xb12r, 1125r and a bike set up to the exact specifications of Slicks bike. Also a brief history of buell, a program buell uses called "elves" and the process of how the bikes are put together. The author even said he used to race an xb9 so he was very buell positive. Also in the same magazine there is a good article about millennium technologies. |

Yeah - back in 2003 Swarts wrote a good 3-piece article about turning an XB9R into a racer and campaigning it. Good insights into some of the bikes on display there in the original barn - including the hand-built prototype VR1000 - fuel in the frame, side-mounted radiators (sound familiar????) This is a really good article - and people CAN get RRW over the counter in CA at Cycle Gear - other places too. If you don't subscribe, you SHOULD!!! |

RRW is one of the few US bike mags that I look forward to getting each month. |

By the way . . . ROADRACING WORLD is the outfit that stepped up to the plate and helped me get autographed copies of the issue with ESLICK on the cover to all the deployed Badwebbers. They also chimed in and offer FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS to all deployed servicemen and women. If you get an opportunity, it'd mean a lot to drop them a note and say thanks. These folks were there for us without hesitation, Court |

That's VERY COOL they did that. "Honey, where's that subscription renewal notice?" |

There's a pretty cool video here at motorcycle.com that has a similar theme. |

Donald, If you didn't get that issue and you're still deployed, I can hit up RRW for you and get you a copy. Uhlrich races right here at Willow Springs and I bet they can get that issue since they have almost all back issues available. I assume you mean this one: May 2009 (click) I assume your mailing address is same as listed on the Deployed Badwebbers thread. If not, PM me. (Message edited by slaughter on August 21, 2009) |
