I think we have already. I believe the "Danny didn't get the memo" poster is their work and is running as a full-page ad on the back of the current issue of Road Racing World. There's some discussion of the company in this thread:
I wanna see Gixxers getting sucked into the Ram Air cooling system.... Kawi's getting smashed like bugs on the fly screen... Honda's being fried on the ZTL brake... Yamaha's getting sucked into the cooling fan and blown out on the side of the track...
Geico Girls pole dancing.... I should say podium dancing...
Looks like the Buell division of HOG(NYSE) ain't learned a thing- most motorcyclists don't even read 'Roadracing World" et al. And ads in said racing oriented press totally miss emerging markets. One gets the feeling that HOG and Buell management have the blinders on and will be happy as pigs in the mud to sell 10k bikes year to roadracer wannabes in a global motorcycle market that numbers in the millions.

You are just so darn smart . . . it's a shame you're not on the account.
America's #1 premier agency places the ad (yeah, the same folks that do Microsoft and similar emerging companies) and they can't even muster your level of lucidity . . .
Just to help me clear this up . . . how many $200,000,000 ad campaigns did you land last year?
Your track record ("Harley-Davidson will loose 50% of it's dealers and Buell won't exist a year from now") at business strategy, in all candor, sucks.
Ever been CEO or President of a company with over 200 people? I'm just curious . . .you sound like a neighborhood organizer.
What's the matter? Did the BMW riders already kick you out?
I know that the word "typewriter" is the longest word in the English language that you can type using only the top row of letters on the keyboard - I think that means I'm a sound choice to replace Rick Wagoner. Better put a call into Obama-rama and get that all set up since he's the acting CEO of GM right now.
Ever been CEO or President of a company with over 200 people? Didn't you hear? Obama just fired her, that's why she has free time to continue trolling the BadWeB.
Hmmmmm....how many racers read RRW? Now, how many of those racers would never have before considered racing or buying a Buell? To these guys racing means credibility. And that equals sales.
Oh, and it does not hurt to rub the anti-Buell gangs nose in it!
How many folks were racing Buells at Daytona . . . . Fontana . . . Atlanta.
Graph the numbers.
Slope "+" or "-".
Guess what . . . a reasonably good PRIVATEER, with no access the high end factory goodies, can get on a Buell, toss a couple grand at it and have a fairly good chance of walking about with several grand at the end of the weekend.
Watch for more folks switching to Buells . . . . nearly 100% of them will be regular readers of Roadracing World.
Then . . . . and only then . . . . would I extend my advertising bubble.
Three wins in Popular Science means nothing to the casual reader who may thing Buell wins all the time. It means tons to racers . . . you know . . the ones's that read . . . say it with me now . . ROADRACING WORLD.
"One gets the feeling that HOG and Buell management have the blinders on and will be happy as pigs in the mud to sell 10k bikes year to roadracer wannabes in a global motorcycle market that numbers in the millions."
Now replace "HOG and Buell" with "YamaKawiHondaZuki", "10k" with "100k+", and you would probably have as close to a true statement as you ever have on this forum.
With everything going on in this world, do you have to sling such negativity? Is it your lot in life? Are you just that miserable that you have to piss on our racing success, AND put down a publication that I (and presumably others on this board) enjoy & respect at the same time?
If your company makes acceptable profit, your employees make acceptable wages/salaries, you can put enough money into R&D and advertising, you can pay your overhead - who the F*** cares about gross sales in terms of numbers of units sold?
