Cory West, Taylor Knapp, Danny Eslick . . . If someone asked you to put together a short list of young, talented, American riders who have the potential to be big-name road-racers in the next 5 years, I think you'd have a hard time putting together a better list. Very exciting! |

I'm so stoked! I'm hoping this is all part of Buell's new focus on sport and race bikes. And I totally agree, I wish Shawn Higbee could get more support - how about the other Buell clubs doing benefits? |

What's the difference between a "factory" team, and being sponsored by the manufacturer? I'm not an expert on the rules, but I'd guess it has to do with who actually owns the team. Technically, BMC could buy you a front tire and they'd considered a sponsor for your race team. I'm not saying this is good or bad, just insteresting and exciting. Personally, I'd like to see Buell not have a flat-out factory-sponsored bike in this series so as keep the privateers competitive. |

This is ERIK BUELL PERSONALLY . . . let's face it . . the guy never has lost his enthusiasm. He may grow up . . . but I said that when we were in our 30's back in 1989 so who knows. |

>>>He ain't gonna do that anymore than you are Court. Now wait a damn minute . . . at least I looked into growing up once . . . Erik can make no such claim! I remain the "moral compass" of the group. |

Cool, three 1125's at the New Jersey round including EB's new team was enough to make me go digging and find out they do actually show some AMA Pro rounds on Foxsports here. It's at strange hours, and I don't have cable... but my Buell riding boss does |

That is AWESOME! Erik Buell Racing. Bout time I say. As for Court being the "moral compass" well, some one has to do it. Please tell me that the race is going to be on TV? What channel, what time? It's a little late for me to get to Jersey in time. |

Dave, most likely will be on speed, usually at midnight eastern time, same day as race. Check your local listing that week. |
