Then something is seriously wrong with you. But rest assured Mr. Erik Buell cares for each and every one of you and to coincide with Buell’s 25th anniversary he’s equipping all 2008 Text Box: bikes (except the Blast) with a badge marking the milestone! This milestone couldn’t have come soon enough. Because now each and everyone of us has an excuse to take a road trip July 6-8th. Why not? You know you’ve been dying to visit East Troy, Michigan. And what better reason than to partake of the highlights marking Buell’s 25th year. “…For 2008, we will be marking a major milestone, so we want the Buell 25th Anniversary celebration to be very special and to reflect the unique personality of the Company and our riders.” What greater compliment could a motorcycle owner receive from the builder of his bike Can’t recall the last time Mr. Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki commented on your ownership Yeah, neither can I. What better way to show your appreciation than by supporting the festivities at the Buell factory Events planned for the Buell 25th Anniversary will include music and festivities at Milwaukee’s Summerfest Grounds, racing, plant tours, bike displays, demo rides, stunt shows, dealership activities and you can bet much more.
