Ride from "Bikers Point" on the Grossglockner
Just though I'd let you know we've recently added the video below of our ride down on a BMW R1200 GS from "Bikers Point" on the Grossglockner in Austria to the inter-bike Channel on YouTube. The ride down was in near zero visibility cloud cover on a cobble pavement road with 7 hairpins!
Ride safe.

Buell closes!!
Shock news, yesterday Harley-davidson Inc announced it will be discontinuing the Buell product line and will concentrate its efforts on the Harley-Davidson brand.
Apparently a limited number of new Buell motorcycles remain available for sale through authorized dealerships and production will wind down by October 30. Harley-Davidson will provide replacement parts and service through dealerships and that warranty coverage will continue as normal for Buell motorcycles.
So a sad day for all those at Buell and us in the motorcycle community at large with the loss of such an iconic motorcycle brand.
Buell will surely be missed by the many of us who of have ridden Erik Buell's amazing machines.
You an watch Erik Buell's personal video message on the closure, by clicking on the YouTube Video above.
Ride safe.
