One of my friends Dave Wax is working on an incredible new electric bike and motorcycle project with Erik Buell, and they had a pop-up shop on the Lower East Side this week.
Now if you don't know, Erik Buell is the legendary engineer who's revolutionary brand Buell was acquired by Harley Davidson, and who has had numerous other incarnations, including EBR Racing.
Now, I had met Erik Buell at the IMS Motorcycle Show in 2016, and despite his celebrity,
he ended up talking my ear off about his ideas and designs, like putting the gas tank into the swingarm in his early models.
