I added Erik as a friend on facebook a few days ago. He wished me safe riding and I told him I hoped to see him whip out some more bikes in the near future. His reply was It'll take awhile but were working on it!
So theres still hope.
Yeah, I talk to him every now and then on there. He confirmed that that picture that is suposed to be him on a yellow "new" Buell is in fact him on a new Buell, but it won't be produced. He also said that EBR is going to have race exhausts for the XB again.
