only got about halfway through the article before i had to head out to the van. Still, ive read enough. Fuck HD. I wonder if erik has noncompete clauses in his original contract and if thats why he didnt leave. Wonder when those would run out

Last paragraph of the first article says the clause is over in a few years.

You'd be amazed at how many people on the Buell forums get direct responses from him. He even adds the guys to his facebook friends..

nice, i wonder if hes been talking to investors yet? :Lol: on a side note, the use of a vnt would go a long way towards fixing the problems with turbos and v-twins. And most of those use mechanical actuation. Very interesting...

Rotax offered to buy them. Harley had to pay a huge amount to end the engine contract, Rotax (or Bombardier) offered to take Buell in exchange for that money and some other terms.

It helps that like only 10 people own a buell.

Wow, what I have learned from this article is Buell is more of a fucking idiot than I thought. He gave Harley the world against his attorney's advice. I don't feel bad for the guy any longer, he sold his soul to Harley.

The 1125 is a very cool bike. I'm getting that v-twin itch again lately. It's a shame a new 1125 isn't an option for scratching it.
