somebody should probably check on the boy. anyone live close? should probably go get his shoelaces and anything sharp.

WOW!!! I fucking laughed for at least 3 minutes!!!:lol:

Actually, despite our previous disagreements, I like Marko and I truly feel bad for him! That's one good thing about my GSXR forum, there's been 24/7 Buell bashing without any remorse over there!!!:lol:

Come on, the guy is trying to sell a damaged, used bike for what a new one goes for. Anyway, does this bike belong to your new boyfriend or what?:lol:

*edit* Wait you mean there are actually people not posting because Buell is closing it's doors ? :scratch: :?:

anyone else see the (probably fake) yamaha buyout rumor? Makes for some interesting hypotheticals. Personally i hope its true cause it'd stick a thumb in all those protectionist bastards eyes

As a Buell fan boi, I'd love a Yamaha/Buell confligration. My only concern is that this might mean Buell bits on Yamaha bikes rather than full blown Buell creations.

I'm a V-Twin guy. I've never been a fan of IL4 bikes. Buell innovations on an IL4 is probably something I wouldn't buy. Most Buell people feel the same.

There is a concerted effort by some group to save Buell. They are in negotiations with HD.

I'd see a private equity group having more luck at preserving most of the essence of Buell than Yamaha could.


I'm 99% sure the Yamaha thing is a hoax. The original poster referenced AP as the source, but there is no story anywhere on AP to back it up.

:lol: That is not nearly as likely as Yamaha putting it's bits in on the Buell name.
