What a shame. What a shame.

Get it whilst you can then folks, as Buell are shutting shop with immediate effect, resulting in one of the greatest bikes ever to disappear from showrooms worldwide. The Lightning is fantastic, it’s my dream bike and I was fortunate to own one back in the day. It was great to ride, perfect handling, gorgeous sound, gorgeous looks and everyone stared when I drove past. I loved it through and through, with exception to the running costs…
It does however throw in to relief my desire to get another Buell. I think I will have to call my mechanic to see if he can maintain it for me, because if I do get another one, I won’t be taking it to HD to service it.
I am pretty bummed really. I always knew that one day I would have another Buell, but it seems like this day will never come now, unless I grab one soon.
Harley-Davidson Glasgow has a XB9Sx for little over £5,500, so I might have to investigate insurance etc, then start the negotiations with my lovely Em, because if I roll up on a new XB without warning her first, my head will promptly roll in the opposite direction.
I would love to have another Buell. Love Love LOVE.
Hmmm
I think I need to call the missus…
