That bike reminds me of an A-6 Intruder.

I believe he is the record holder for the longest stoppie.

I think you are catching him at the end of a swivel going to the rear tire.

Think of it as a pirouette.

Standards? Nope.

Guinness book of world record holder for the longest stoppie, Craig Jones [http://craigjones.com] leaves his mark on the Spreewaldring. Craig’s record was achieved on an XB12R, traveling 873 feet on the front wheel.

Technical stuff aside, the best reason to buy a Buell is the Buell community. There's nothing like it out there for any other brand I've found. Buell has a great relationship with its customers - right down to posting on our boards - and Buell people are some of the best people I've ever met.

We had a gathering we called Buelltoberfest earlier this month. Dozens of Buell riders from all over the place converged on the North GA mountains. One rider wrecked, and he was immediately surrounded with friends who took care of everything for him. One group escorted him to the hospital while another group recovered his bike. A guy he hardly knew from NC drove him and his bike all the way down to Colombus, GA and wouldn't even accept gas money, just because he rode a Buell.

The rider's response to all of this really sums up why I'll always have a Buell in my garage: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgib...32#POST1276732

Agreed!


It's hard to explain. Since there are so few of us, ownership kinda invokes "club behavior". You're instantly compelled to chase down and meet another Buell rider.

Maybe Buell just attracts stalkers.

Exactly. Buell riders are some of the nicest people. They take care of their own. Great community.
