Harley-Davidson, Inc. has just announced that Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of the soon to be closed Buell Motorcycle Company, will leave the company to establish Erik Buell Racing, an independent motorcycle race shop that will specialize in making 1125R-based racing motorcycles and parts.

Erik Buell Racing will specialize in supplying race-use-only Buell motorcycle parts, and will also offerrace preparation services for engines and motorcycles (presumably for Buell engines and motorcycles). Erik’s new venture will consist of the making and selling of Buell 1125R-based race-use-only motorcycles, which will are under license from Harley-Davidson. The company will also continue to provide technical support to Buell racers.

“I’m looking forward to helping Buell racers keep their bikes flying,” said Erik Buell. “We’ve got some exciting race development projects in the works and it will mean a lot to me personally to see Buell racers competing for wins and championships in the 2010 season and beyond.”

Echoing Buell’s enthusiasm, Buell President and COO Jon Flickinger also commented, “I’m pleased that Harley-Davidson is assisting Erik in establishing this business to continue supporting the racing efforts he has had so much passion for over the years. Harley-Davidson and the Buell Motorcycle Company will always be proud of their affiliation with Erik, and we wish him well in this new endeavor to support Buell racers.”

Erik Buell Racing will be based in East Troy, Wisconsin and will be staffed by Erik Buell and a veteran team of personnel.

Yes it has been quite awhile since you all of heard from Sarah and I, but I will let you know we ARE planning another BBQ and y'all need to come down to the Harbor so I can take you on some really good roads...

But right now I need some help. I am currently taking a few college classes and I am doing a research paper, and I need to know when the law changed from, When a rider takes his/her riding test on a let's say a 600CC thats the largest engine they are allowed to operate to taking the test on anything and allowed to ride anything with the exception of a trike or sidecar. If you can tell me what year that was put into effect that would be awesome... I await your response.

"ATK Motorcycles has partnered with S&T Motors, the South Korean maker of Hyosung vehicles. The partnership eventually will produce a small-displacement ATK streetbike to be sold through Harley-Davidson dealers, ATK announced earlier this week at EICMA."

Called around this morning and Downtown Harley, up in Renton, had a black 2009 coming in soon. I whipped out the Amex and the bike is mine, for $500 less than Latus wanted for their used bike. (well, I would have still bought it if they wanted to sell it) Wahoo!

But I can't help notice that many people will post up the news that they just got their motorcycle endorsement or just passed their MSF class on a regular basis even after being on this forum for a while. They will inevitably and immediately get inudated with "YOU'RE AWESOME!" and other similar superlatives. Am I the only one annoyed at this behavior? This is a motorcycle forum and I would think an endorsement is at least a prerequisite and quite frankly, not that much of an accomplishment in my opinion.

My boyfriend (FreeRadical, not into trolling/posting I guess) is thinking about being a Team OR instructor for extra cash. I didn't think they got paid much. Anyone care to disclose salary range?
