Buell's newest models, the 1125R and the 1125CR, offer more horsepower with the company's first-ever liquid-cooled V-twin engine; its other bikes have air-cooled ones.

"Want to watch the Michigan game?" I asked him on a recent Saturday morning. "The Man Cave?" he offered, as usual...
...access most of the $9.3 billion sitting in a short-term fund that had been offering slightly higher returns than U.S. treasuries. To prevent a run on the fund -12% of which was invested in mortgage-backed securities - the fund's trustee resigned and froze withdrawals so it could liquidate the assets and distribute the proceeds in an orderly manner. The same thing happened to another 200 schools with $1 billion in an intermediate-term fund.
