Hi, welcoming friends...`
I'll only say I probably knew of Erik Buell way before any of you, but I'm not here to boast...
I can see tongue in cheek is in very short supply with you fellas ; O )
I can't see a bar section either, so maybe you're right.
Anyway, you might have guessed, I'm a Frenchman (come on, I want to hear all your white flag jokes... there must be still a few I haven't heard yet...) and been living in Great Britain since 1984.
So, old age creeping in, I bought a lecky bike cause I can't kickstart anymore my old steeds... Thought over the years that Buells were both innovative and well thought of, I mean, it would need about a 1000 of your lot to come up and realise what Erik did with his own grey cells...
So here we are, I am now the owner of a 08 blue Ulysses XB12X, that the one where the engine still looks vaguely like a proper engine, not the monstrosity designed in Austria by a very sick child... This austrian engine, probably the one and only error in Erik's distinguished career, and probably why no one but a few want to have anything to do with them these days... Shame, but life goes on and I'm sure he'll be back again...
Bye for now,
Patrick
