First part of a 4-part uncut interview with Erik Buell, for the Australian launch of the 1125. Celebrating 25 years since he built his first special -- a square-four 2-stroke special. April 2008. By Guy Allen
Yeah. The harley leadership are a bunch of dirt bags. A year ago after returning from a tour in afghanistan I was fired for asking a supervisor why nothing could be done to remove employees that were not doing their job. His response was that the UNION kept Harley-Davidson from correcting such issues. When I named some scenarios that had happened in the plant and asked further why something couldnt done about it I was fired. A year later H-D had me sign a buy out not to continue to seek my job.

just think about what he said. the first bike he built was from a company that was also going out of business. irony sometimes sucks.

He seems like a really good, down to earth guy, would be great to see him interviewed on a top gear for motorcycles .....
(even after harley shut the brand)
