Riding bikes is all about enjoying yourself so i will be riding my Buell till it's completely knackered . Bollox to the cost i'll keep it going as long as i can then when it packs up i'll go onto something that doesn't make me grin quite as much.

Bad news indeed, is there any point in owners buying isolators up while they can and putting them away for a rainy day ? or do they degrade through time ?

Exactly that!

Don't get your panties in a bunch ,for the idea of no more parts availability
with only oh and ah and saying it can't be done ,brings you nowhere!
don't be a naysayer ,there is always someone that can make things happen.

Like also on this forum there are people already making parts and things etc for these brand of motorcycles. :yup:

And so if the parts are getting more expensive in the future because things have to be produced again ,so be it!
If you don't like that ,sell your buell and buy something new or a hybride. :ner:

Was only joking about selling.. took me long enough to find the one for me, so its staying..!
there are plenty of people out there mad as a box of frogs about these, so I dont really think one place saying no more Buell's is the end of the world.. just an inconvenience.
As long as places like these forums keep going, I'm sure the bike will too... :yup: :yup:

I am a little confused with the BB situation:

BB gets bought by Norwich HD
Norwich HD shuts down
Norwich HD re-open
