I read about this, I wish I could fit on a Buell.

chris is not gonna like this.

This is true. ^^

Man that sucks! I have always loved the look of buells and they had some really cool design factors. I never got to ride one though. Bummer, I heard they were gnarly in the hills cause of the tourqe on them harley motors. (spelling??? on the entire sentence???)

Quoted for truth. I for the life of me cannot wrap my head around this. The really stupid part is that they have investors with cash in fist and they refuse to sell. I just don't get it.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the current CEO at Harley has never(yes you read that right, never!)owned a motorcycle. Figure that shit out.

Wait he what? I can understand hiring someone that is good at what they do - but Harley seems like such a heavily lifestyle-based company that it would be impossible to have someone running the show that didn't own a damn bike.

I can totally see that happening. Say the old CEO was a grizzled Hells Angels motherfucker that didnt take no shit from no one. He gets fired for selling meth at work, and they go to the exact opposite side of the spectrum when looking for a new CEO after tiring of the years of harassment and drunken hooker parties...

LOLOL!

considering the previous CEO organized this dinner fundraiser thats probably was probably a good idea.

oh yeah ...I forgot about those....kinda. Then again....flat dirt track bikes are starting to become the rage now...

Yeah they are. I dont mind sportsters so much but like the big wheel vintage look and that 16" rear doesnt do it for me. 19/19 is where its at
