What do you like most about Buell® Racing? Mid-apex grunt! Every year we get more people interested in racing Buells. At each race, at least one person will walk into our pit and say, "What is that thing?" It's fun to talk about the bikes and show that there are competitive alternatives to the ubiquitous inline four-powered motorcycles. Henry Duga is invaluable!

Something unique Buell race fans should know about you: Contrary to popular belief, I'm not the center of the universe.
