Harley Kills Buell...Oh No!

Ughhh...Harley killed Buell. No more Buell Motorcycles, extreme competition in the sportbike industry has stopped Harley from making Buell sport bikes anymore. It is a sad day. Harley will still supply parts and service for these bikes. I don't know any black bikers who ride these machines. I am sorry to hear of any business shutting its doors. Unemployment in the US is higher than I ever remember. More families will suffer from another American company going out of business.

Buell Motorcycle Company officials thanked the company’s customers, employees and dealers for an unforgettable ride, following the announcement by Harley-Davidson, Inc.that it will discontinue the Buell product line as part of Harley-Davidson’s go-forward business strategy. The new long-term strategy aims to drive Company growth through a focus of efforts and resources on the Harley-Davidson brand.

Jon Flickinger the President of Buell said, "I want to personally thank all our past and present Buell employees, dealers and suppliers for their efforts. I also want to thank Buell motorcycle owners for their support and passion for the brand.

Flickinger said a limited number of new Buell motorcycles remain available for sale through authorized dealerships and production will wind down by October 30. He also stressed that Harley-Davidson will provide replacement parts and service through dealerships and that warranty coverage will continue as normal for Buell motorcycles.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. since 1998, Buell Motorcycle Company was founded in 1983 by Erik Buell and produced more than 135,000 motorcycles. Over the past 26 years, Buell motorcycles won numerous design accolades and awards, and countless races and championships around the world, including the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike championship in 2009.


Jason Britton Gerneration "X"


I felt it was time to include sports bikes due to having club members and other fellow biker friends who ride them into the mix. Well this kid is awesome. Jason Britton is part of Generation "X" and this is his story.

Jason Britton grew up in Huntington Beach, California. He started riding motorcycles at the age of two. While most babies were throwing tantrums on the floor, Britton was already on a bike (without training wheels). By the age of ten Jason was BMX racing. By twelve, he was popping wheelies and racing motor-cross. Now by thirteen he achieved expert status in the 80 cc class. With those accomplishments he moved onto street bikes, where else could he go.
Britton has taken his riding talent and skills in extreme sports to a new art form. He takes on challenging Hollywood roles in films such as “Torque” (doubling for Ice Cube) and stunt work in “Biker Boys,” and “Waist Deep.”
Jason is the currently hosting “SuperBikes” and is the Executive Editor of 2Wheel Tuner Magazine. Even with all his success, Jason still keeps it real. Now a seasoned rider/entertainer, he still finds the time to collect bikes and make extreme videos. His “No Limit” riding style can be seen on many extreme videos such as “Urban Assault”, “All Twisted and Pucked-Up”, “Urban Assault II” , “Get On Up”, Get On Up II”, “Revolution Twenty 04,” “Revolution Twenty 05,” “Get On Up III” and newly released “Get On Up 4”.
With all of this under his belt you can still find him road racing in competitions both locally and nationally. If you happen to attend the latest stunt show or local bike night, you may just get a glimpse of him in action.
