| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
They're American, easy to work on (and tinker with), realitvely rare (in my area), fast, mean-sounding, and loads of fun.
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
In my dreams: Liquid cooling, 4-valve head, dual overhead chain driven cams, wider/taller rear tire, 6-speed transmission
|
| Life History/Philosophy: |
I own and operate a motorcycle and small engine service shop in Sammamish WA, called Pro-Service Cycle Repair. I'm working on a degree in motorcycle service technology at Lake Washington Technical College in Kirkland, WA <- a far better school than MMI, and much less expensive because it's government funded.
