"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

But why is he using his "gauge cluster" as a structural member?  That can't feel good.

this is the result of focusing on short term results to satisfy fickle investors with short attention spans.  While going public has a lot of advantages, we see a rather glaring disadvantage in this circumstance.

I can't imagine we won't see Erik Buell again.  He's too crazy passionate.  Problem is, I suppose very passionate people make good designers, but not so good businessmen.  They should lock him in the design dept and not let him out while someone else runs the company.

Erik Buell Interview 1/28/10.  I think this is Erik's first interview since the demise of Buell the company three months ago.
