I couldn't get past the non traditional style of the Buells but was always respected Eric's boldness in defying tradition. I was really hoping to see MV and Buell share technology with each other and build some fantastic sport bikes but this bad economy put the kibosh on that.
I hope Eric Buell can continue producing motorcycles.

well you never know, i would like to see the guy make it as well, especially remembering how hard he work to get the thing out. do you know of any site were i can pick up a map for a woods cam tw-6g

[shovelmike]

Are you running a Power Commander? Their website has a lot of maps, if they don't list that cam you can find one that is close and fine tune a little with the buttons on the unit. Another trick the dealers tech showed me is to connect the laptop, highlight the cells in the map representing where the bike is not quite running right, hit page down to add fuel and page up to subtract. He told me," Do it yourself or pay me to do it."

I doubt either is unaware of any technology out there. But what I was really hoping to see is "combined" technology, that might be what you meant anyway. I thought a Buell chassis with an MV power-plant would blow the roof off that market. Buell has always been cutting edge with the chassis/bodywork, truly unique, has Eric had real horsepower to offer they would have had the Japs scrambling.
MV stands alone in the sports bike market but very, very expensive, their top dog was $30K and worth it, they ho;d or held the record for top-speed and handle like nothing else in production. They are a work of art like no other. These 2 companies are at end different ends of the monetary and competitive scale, curious that they failed.

Thanks Harold, I hope you get the bike dialed in just right. Thanks for the prayers for Sky. The 2 Chronicles 7: 14 is a plea for a backslidden nation to turn back to GOD. I won't go into deep detail and drift off the topic of this thread but I feel it's very applicable to the USA at the present time. Ride safe and GOD bless, Sincerely, Shovelmike.
