n/m i got it.

No more buell for ever?

that's right, here's eric buell's emotional farewell

shiiit. I was just talking to some guy the other night while looking at his lightning. Sucks for sure.

It means it's a non-recurring expense.

There are 35-40,000 suckers with that much money still?

Edit - that's hogs, not Buells. My mistake.

either way, what did you mean?

That you'd have to be a sucker to buy a Buell and I was surprised that in today's economy people that dumb have any disposable income left.

why's that? they make/made terrific bikes that often pushed the engineering envelope, got rave reviews by bike reviewers and enthusiasts.

Their bikes are so good a) they are going out of business and b) you can actually buy them pre-junked?

the blast pre-junked that you are referring to was a marketing tactic.

buell was the redheaded step-child of harley. h-d dealers never gave buell the attention it required.

that, combined with the quirky look of the bikes, kept them from selling more. the demise of the brand is more about harley sales plummeting 84%, not due to buell.

their bikes are quite good actually.

Well, to paraphrase Samuel L. - motherfuckin' sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I'm never gonna find out.

If you want to buy one and ride one, god bless you, brother. You can probably score one dirt cheap.

i've ridden a friend's buell, rides very well. but they are not the bike(s) for me.

nevertheless, i can appreciate the engineering, blood, sweat and tears eric buell put into those bikes
