After a great deal of fun with my two Buell's, I've decided that it's time to move on from motorcycle riding. Thanks to everyone for your support and help over the years. Badweb is an awesome resource for any owner and a great way to meet a great family of Buell enthusiasts.

Special thanks to my good friends Etennuly and George Deveny for the riding company and mechanical help. If you'd like to check out the bike the ad with pictures is on craigslist here:

Thanks again!

Here you are, waiting on Froggy! Again!



I hope you're decision isn't health related. The last time was financial and that's bad enough!

Take care, always enjoyed our conversations.

Hate to see another Buell'er leave. Good luck in your future endeavors

Hi Greg. Fortunately my business is doing very well so no financial worries. At 61 I'm finding my brain just doesn't keep up at high speeds. This stresses me out and riding just isn't enjoyable like it used to be. I always enjoyed swapping stories and talking bike tech with you at events. I think as the community dwindles and the events get fewer and far between it has also removed some of the excitement.

Larry, I've always had the same thought as another of the "old buellers" moves on. No doubt I'll be lurking around Badweb just to see whats going on.

Well Mark, I will certainly miss my one of my best Buell riding buddies. This aging problem sucks! I understand the need to move on to a bit of a lower speed, less curvy, less risky hobby. We have really been blessed with good fortune in that respect.

I hope we can and will continue our friendship beyond our bikes. That is sometimes hard to do when the key commonality is gone, but I think we'll do alright.

Here is to a great many years that we have shared finishing up the latest, longest, best, most meaningful mid life crisis!

Thank you Vern! I appreciate your friendship and all of your help. Maybe I need to buy a Vette. Gotta find the next big thing to replace the Uly.
