Excellent news. I only wander inot this section occasionally, not being a Buell owner anymore there's not much for me to see here but this is great news. I'm really glad I saw it.
It seems the dream isn't dead at all, it was just hiding for a while :D

I haven't any idea what Erik will do, all I'm saying is, he now has the chance to build great bikes again unencumbered by the financial and market driven constraints imposed on him by a parent company who saw the brand appealing to a mainstream who just weren't interested. HD (I beleive) simply saw Buell developing into a starter bike for the future HD customer. That never, ever, was the Buell market and it was always doomed to fail. "I hope Erik gets to build great bikes again", I suppose I should have said.

I wouldn't mind but it's not Buell's nature to look back. That area is generously covered by HD ;)
