Erik Buell has announced his resignation from Harley-Davidson. Buell is to return to his racing roots, starting up Erik Buell Racing – an independent shop dealing in the supply of race-use only Buell motorcycle parts.

The company will also build and sell race-use Buell 1125R bikes, under licence from Harley-Davidson, in addition to providing technical support to racers of Buells.

"I'm looking forward to helping Buell racers keep their bikes flying," said Erik Buell in a press release from Harley. "We've got some exciting race development projects in the works and it will mean a lot to me personally to see Buell racers competing for wins and championships in the 2010 season and beyond."

This has to be excellent news and it had to happen.

Picking yourself after such a major kick in the head is pretty awesome going.
