Egan is arguably the worlds' foremost motorcycle/motorsports author and though i never had the pleasure of meeting him...a good friend of mine , Ari Henning, is the editor of Motorcyclist magazine and is friends with Egan. he has told me on several occasions what a brilliant writer and cool guy Egan is as a person. if i had a "bucket list" it would be to spend an evening picking Egans' brain and enjoying his intellect and experiences. having said that this certainly appears to be outstanding news for cyclists everywhere and for Mr. Buell in particular. i have no knowledge or experience whatsoever in business matters as complex as this but EBR now being managed, guided, and returned from the grave by a father/son team who are life-long riders and enthusiasts has to be a marriage made in heaven.
