Things are not as dismal as the sound. Bruce popped in on FB to say a few things that lightened the mood a bit.

Belfer is a friggn Champ... I just got a feeling about this, know what I mean? Dude says the right shiznit.

I'm very happy he is still in the hunt in keeping EBR alive and having an American Sport Bike company. there will always be obstacles, it's how you deal with them that determine the outcome, and he said it best with "I’m doing it for the riders, the dealers, and most of all Erik and the employees of this great company.” and “There are three certainties in life. Death, taxes and Erik Buell and Bruce Belfer never quitting anything.”

Any news on the EBR 2nd auction??? Would love to see them get back up and producing bikes!

 

[mrlogix]

Belfer did NOT win the second auction. He was outbid this time. They will not release the name or entity of the new owners until Monday when the court reviews the sale and makes it official.

Yeah I just saw that Dean posted the same thing, I forgot today was the tenth. This blows, I was hoping Bruce was gonna pull this off. This is nerve wracking. I hope it all works out for Erik and the rest of us that are die hard Buell fans....

 

[buell248]

Thanks for the update!

 

[BambamXB12r]

Not what I wanted to hear but thanks for the update.

 

[GregoXB]

Who on earth could have outbid Belfer?

 

[buell248]

Polaris???

 

[Fatty SS]

Fingers crossed whoever it was has the desire and the means to continue building bikes. It would be a real shame if they bought the assets to dissolve and sell off.

Polaris would be ideal.

 

[BambamXB12r]

I thought Bruce was ideal.

It sucks that this whole ordeal is getting drug out like this, but I still worry of the changes to the brand that will happen when a new owner is involved. In my view, the Uly is the best bike that Erik ever put out, with simplicity and weight reduction and power etc. I dont think now days it would be possible to make a bike like the Uly so im just keeping my head down and taking care of it until it no longer can perform. I only with the rake on it was a bit longer so i could put on a 19 or 21 in front wheel. That would make it about perfect. And maybe a crash bar system that didnt rattle my brains out.
