The whole shutdown of Buell, and now this, has to be one of the worst-orchestrated deals in recent memory.

I put it on the general forum because I thought it was a general topic. If it keeps being more "racing" I guess the mods can move it over here. Just thought it was nice to see Buell make good his escape from HD... but it looks like some strings are attached.

i was mostly being a smartass.  ...but the bikes are "race-use-only".
