Podcast 397: Going Fast with Erik Buell

This week on our motorcycle podcast we are on the road to 400. That's right, our 400th episode is coming up, so to celebrate we're bringing you some of the biggest interviews to date. This week we catch up with Erik Buell. AMA Hall of Famer, mechanic, engineer, designer, innovator, racer and just all around nice guy. He tells us about his history, growing up on a farm and learning how to fix everything, to getting his first bikes and doing everything just to keep them running. Then we get into his racing career, and then his time at Harley Davidson where he used his skills to make one of the best bikes to date, the FXR. Then we talk about his early start with Buell Motorcycles, and find out that the first bike was not powered by an HD motor, but instead a Barton. Then we continue on with some of the innovations he brought to his motorcycles, and finishing with his latest company Fuell, and the electric bikes and motorcycles they are making. This is a man who has been knocked down time and time again, yet keeps getting back up to do the thing he loves most: making motorcycles.
With Liza, Miss Emma, Mikey 3 Times, Naked Jim, Charley, Rick, Mycah and Bagel.
