While here watching the 1125r's kick ass, and in light of the recent signing of the Stimulus package into law, let me just say that we've got your STIMULUS, RIGHT HERE! Section 1008, page 203 of the stimulus bill is inclusion of purchase of a new Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycle and deducting the sales taxes for 2009. Saving money is GOOD. Getting on a machine dripping with FREEDOM and American style - that's STIMULATING. Screw it, let's ride! And effective 05 March, 2009 thru 31May2009 Buell has some finance programs that make saying "No" even harder. For qualified buyers of new 2008 or '09 1125R or 1125CR's: 3.99% for 36 months 4.99% for 48 months 5.99% for 60 months FINE PRINT: Other incentives and loan options may exist, see your dealer for details. See your dealer for eleigibility through Eaglemark Savings Bank and promotion 291. The terms & conditions of this loan program are subject to change or cancellation at the sole discretion of Eaglemark Savings Bank. (Message edited by jammin_Joules on March 02, 2009) | ||

Section 1008, page 203 of the stimulus bill is inclusion of purchase of a new Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycle and deducting the sales taxes for 2009. Is this serious? If so, that's very cool. | ||

This is a correct statement. It is in the new stimulus bill. As if a new H-D or Buell were not stimulating enough... Talk about a Win-Win Hope you have a great race watching party! I'm Daytona bound mid-week I'll make sure to wave if the camera comes my way. | ||

Rub it in Tom!! Wow. I wanna go to Daytona. Don't you need someone to hold your beer for you or something? | ||

Section 1008, page 203 of the stimulus bill is inclusion of purchase of a new Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycle and deducting the sales taxes for 2009 Just to be clear, motorcycles are included as "qualified vehicles" in the stimulus bill. Not just Harleys and Buells, but obviously they are included. | ||

Thanks for the offer Chad. I got this new spill-proof cool cup, you can set it down almost anywhere without a risk of it being knocked over. But a cooler carrier... that job has not yet been filled... interested? Seriously you can go if you like... it is a free country after all! T | ||

Cooler carrier? Hummm. I might take you up on that if my gig as an oil boy for the Bikini team falls through. Unfortunately, it's not a free country. It costs money, and I have to make some. I'm working. | ||

Hal’s H-D/Buell/Hal’s Speed Shop rider Dan Bilansky rode a Buell XB12R to win the Thunderbike National at the first round of the 2009 ASRA Michelin Pro Series at Daytona International Speedway. Bilansky executed a perfect last-lap drafting pass of the defending Thunderbike champion, BMW of Atlanta rider Nate Kern, to take the win. In Motosport.com Championship Cup Series sprint racing on Saturday at Daytona, Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Racing Buell rider Danny Eslick scored a convincing victory in Expert SuperTwins, the first Daytona victory for a rider aboard a Buell 1125R. On Sunday, Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Racing Buell rider Michael Barnes, testing his injured hand in preparation for the March 6 Daytona 200, rode a Buell 1125R to second place in Expert Unlimited SuperSport. The Thunderbike win confirmed Bilansky’s last-minute decision to make the trip from Wisconsin to race at Daytona, despite a tight budget. “It was like déjà vu out there, because that was exactly the same pass I made on Kern to win the Thunderbike championship at Daytona in 2006,” said Bilansky. “And I think it was just as close, maybe half a bike length. My Hal’s Buell had the power to get the job done.” Ray Price Harley-Davidson/Buell rider David Estok posted the fastest lap in Thunderbike qualifying with a time of 1:57.801, but was penalized three positions when his Buell XB12R was 0.7 horsepower over the class formula in post-event testing. That moved Kern to the pole with a lap of 1:58.026. A sudden weather change on Sunday morning produced rain, dropping temperatures and high winds before the start of the nine-lap Thunderbike National. The track was mostly dry, and Estok took the lead for the first lap before retiring with a mechanical problem. Kern and Bilansky then opened a wide lead on the rest of the field. “Nobody wants to be leading on the last lap at Daytona, and at about the mid-point of the race Kern ran way wide at the chicane to let me know it was my turn at the front,” said Bilansky. “I let him through later, but then on lap seven I made a legitimate mistake and he got about 25 bike lengths on me and I was afraid I would lose the draft. On the last lap I had to go really deep on the brakes at turn one and at the chicane, and got back to about 10 lengths behind, which was the perfect set-up for the last lap. It was really blowing hard so he was making a big hole in the wind.” Bilansky used that draft to accelerate past Kern and was leading by only 0.001 seconds as the pair crossed the finish line. Third place went to Hal’s H-D/Buell/Hal’s Speed Shop rider Joel Spaulding, making his Expert debut on a Buell XB12R. Spaulding ran alone in third place for most of the race. Fernando Ferreyra was fourth on a Bimota, followed by Soundwaves.com rider Sam Rozynski on a Buell, Eric Helmbach on a Honda, and Joe Rozynski on a second Soundwaves.com Buell. Ray Price Harley-Davidson/Buell rider Jordan Richardson finished eighth on a Buell. After one ASRA Michelin Pro Series Thunderbike race, Bilansky leads the series with 35 points, followed by Kern with 31 points and Spaulding with 26 points. The next event on the 10-race ASRA Michelin Pro Series schedule is April 25-26 at Heartland Park Topeka, in Topeka, Kan. Buell Riders Win Motorsports.com CCS Sprint Races Other Buell winners in Motorsports.com CCS sprint competition at Daytona include Ray Price Harley-Davidson/Buell rider Jordan Richardson in Amateur SuperTwins and Amateur GTO on a Buell 1125R, and Bilansky in Expert GT Lights on a Buell XB12R. Kegel H-D/Buell rider Jay Smith rode a Buell XB12R to win in Amateur Lightweight Super Sport and Amateur Lightweight GT. | ||

Jordon's CCS win was on an 1125R. Jordan wins in Daytona CCS race: Amateur SuperTwins: 1. Jordan Richardson, Buell 1125; 2. Robert Crespo, Ducati 1098; 3. Alberto Pardon, Ducati 999. Here's a quote from 1313 on the C3 board: As ecstatic as I am to hear of this I did a little research and this wasn't Jordan's first win at Daytona this year! Friday's results show: Amateur GTO: 1. Jordan Richardson, Buell 1125; 2. Javier Vazquez, Suzuki 750; 3. James Cohrs, Yamaha 600 Although not as impressive as handing a 1098 it's singlesided swingarm, a WIN is still a WIN! WAY TO GO JORDAN!!! Just goes to show the results one gets with the right tool for the job! Good time to be a Buell RACING enthusiast, no? 1313 I especially liked the part about "handing a 1098 it's singlesided swingarm"  | ||

We had an extreme busy Sat, was selling bikes until 7pm, so no time to download. Today is my day off, going on bicycle ride to burn some of those hotwings and beers off from Friday night. Camera at work, will post photos on Monday. Thanks everyone for coming. Our host & sponsor was very pleased with the turn out and goings-on the whole evening. One of our racers was there, Brian Anderson was recovering from hernia surgery and the other was unable to make it for family reasons. We may do another for an up-coming race if televised. ~jammer | ||
