All my passions involve things that come in 2's.


Got me a new motorcycle this week.
Yup, another bike...

its a Buell M2 Cyclone.
A Buell is a Harley sport/adventure bike.
Not your old mans obnoxious Harley and not your overpowered underbrained crotchrocket.
Its somewhere in between.
Its a cool bike, I've had 3 or 4 of them in the past. Still have a 1995 S2 Thunderbolt.

Buell is now extinct.
Harley closed the doors on them in late 2009.
Harley bought them out in the 90's, then after they started doing well, winning Pro races, making money and finally getting a market share of the sales.
Then POOF.
Gone.
Noone knows why.
The Economy is to blame of course but it just doesnt make sense.

well. i have 2 Buells now and I sold my harley.
Kept my Old triumph project (ongoing, I may actually work on it this year.) and an old Royal Enfield. (keep an eye out for more about that as well...)

Im going for a ride on my brand new to me Buell...

fun fun fun
