Got my December issue of Sport Rider and on page 24 the book "25 Years of Buell" is featured. Congrats Dave and Court! |

Did they mention my youthful looks? Dave won't be around for a day or two . . . he's recovering from the Obama victory celebration. . . |

Cool, I'll have to stop by the mag shop and see if I can find it. Did they like it? My celebration was staying up to hear him speak. The man does a really fine speech, now comes the hard part. Let's all hope he does a good job. |

Dave: Pick up a spare. You'll see Mike's stuff tomorrow. I'm picturing you driving Obama around in the CV.

Dave - Yes, I would say they liked it. It was shown in the section of the magazine that features "new" moto related items. By the way...speaking of moto mags...I like to read a lot of them. Many of them, throughout the year 2008, have had articles on Buell being 25 years old. However, I cannot recall Cycle World ever doing an article on this milestone. Did I miss that one, or have they really not mentioned it yet? I kinda figured with Steve Anderson having worked there, an in depth story would be made. |

Cycle World did not do anything. I was so busy gettign the book out that I never got around to offering them a story which is too bad, they might have paid me |

BTW- the new book is reviewed in Thunder Press, which is mainly a H-D biker rag. Unlike most of the biker "magazines" I see, TP actually has some decent prose and some good writers. Congrats- I'll be getting mine before too long. |

Some guy named Canfield used to do an article on Buells in each issue of Thunder Press, back before Reg Kittrelle sold the mag. |

I got the book last weekend from hastings (they had to special order it for me) ad as soon as I picked it up I read it from cover to cover and I must say that was one dang fine book and I learned alot about the motorcycle company that I love so much. Thank you Dave and court for making such a awsome book. If yall ever make another book I would be in line to buy that one too. |
