Glad to see you here Bruce.
I for one am ecstatic to see that the EBR family has been adopted by a real person and not some corporate entity. Someone that gives a ****.
Here's to the good times to come!

Sounds like a EBR owners group ride to East Troy should be in order before winter!!
Welcome Bruce, and best of luck to you moving the company forward!
Cool bunch of bikes you have. Since you have an SC, I thought you might appreciate this one. It is a custom based no an SC with a titanium frame modified for a monoshock and single sided swingarm. Tank is aluminum, and needed to be to have the ability to shorten the fuel pump sump enough to clear the shock.

How cool is this?! I remember tearing up after the bad news first broke. I was devastated. Now the savior comes on basically saying Hakuna Matata, check out my bikes. What a great time to be alive.
When the RX unveiled I wanted one more than any new bike ever. Unmatched pragmatic elegance.
Bruce welcome from all Buell riders you saved us. I wish I could help you by buying a 1190 EBR the wife said no way at my age so I have to keep my 1125R with 42,000 miles. Make any parts you can for all Buell models. I will take any of the 350 EBR you don't want ha ha.
Bruce,
Thank you for stepping in and saving EBR as it sounds like you are going to do. I can't wait for parts to become available so I can get my 1190RX back up and going to full speed so I can show these nay say'rs what EBR is about.
I purchased my EBR about 20 days prior to EBR closing the doors. It was a sad time for us all.
Thanks again for putting a great tear in my eye!
I hear ya Doug! I was a step further, had my resume all looking nice thinking it was a time in my life where I needed to something I had passion for. Was going to run it up to EBR and try and put my talents into something I believe in, but for some reason held off. News came a couple weeks later. Crazy.. broke my heart.
Hows the old yellow bike?
Same here, crazy! I was nearly to the point of doing my resume. I'd read their career page over and over all the time and would always daydream how cool it would be to barely move and work where my favorite bikes were made. I really needed a change and still do. Likewise, I just want to be around something I have a passion for.
And thanks for asking, the old yellow bike is in pieces and still has a ways to go. I found a ton of new old stock parts. It'll be mostly black with some yellow accents. Hopefully in the next summer or two. I really love it and will hold onto her forever if possible!
