Very good article from RoadRacing World Magazine About Buell

[rndrkeagle]

Just read this article over on RRW.. it's probably the best article I've seen about this most depressing turn of events last month. Because of the copy-write info on the article I don't think I should paste the article itself here... but here's the link to it on their site..

Agreed, excellent article.

I do have one complaint though... I absolutely hate when people throw words in there that most (sane) people need a dictionary to understand. "mercurial" "curriculum vitae" "irascible" "sycophants" It just SCREAMS "Look at me! I have a 'word of the day' calendar at my desk.

our country has turned into a "Whack a Mole" arcade game

That's funny as hell, and oh-so-true.

I wouldn't say that those are words that "most (sane) people need a dictionary to understand". I think that most anyone who does any sort of editorial reading on the regular has run into those words frequently.

If you've ever had to write a resume then you should also know what a CV is. They're damn near the same thing.

Good read though!

I'm with Dave. Didn't seem like he was really painting Buell in a great light. There were plenty of jabs in there.

This is a great article on the state of the american motorcycle industry. I agree with just about everything said in this article. Michael Czysz made just about the best attempt thus far at making a real american superbike. Unfortunately timing shattered a good portion of it.
