Buell Motorcycle Company is dead

That's what you get for building one of the ugliest bikes ever created (1125R, below). Erik's a lovely fella, who gave me a lot of time when I interviewed him a few years ago, but if the bikes were good, people would buy them, right?
Hell for Leather have posted the full press release (and tear-jerking video). Like you care. But it gave us an excuse to show the Sundance Buell Blast. G

Look what we found!

Jay on the Blast.
Here's the story. 'In September of 2003, Jay Springsteen visited Japan for a demo ride at the purpose-built
'Field of Dreams' dirttrack event held in the mountains of Nagano.'

Sundance Blast

Now, a standard Buell Blast couldn't pull the cock off a chocolate mouse, but some people make nice flat trackers out of them. Like the legendary Sundance crew from Japan.
It's got Springer's 9 on it, and we know Jay raced Sundance's Daytona Weapon Harley twin road racers at Speed Week. We'd have loved to have seen him on this.
Nice under engine mounts too.
