HOW do you fancy testing your skills against Buell's professional extreme rider Craig Jones, and can you beat the two-time world record holder? You don't need to book any track time and no previous experience is required, just click through to www.buellstoppiegame.co.uk and join the fun.
And now for the really great news! The overall UK winner* will be picking up the keys to a brand new Lightning CityX, Erik Buell's radical and hugely distinctive urban streetfighter. That's £5,995 worth of pure American V-twin muscle and one of the best handling motorcycles on the planet.
Once you reach www.buellstoppiegame.co.uk you'll find a 'virtual' Craig Jones (as well as his Buell Firebolt XB12R) ready to wow the crowds with one of his monster rolling stoppies. In 2003 Craig travelled out to Florida and notched up an extraordinary 873ft stoppie on his specially adapted Firebolt XB12R - so, that's your target! "This game has taken off and people are getting seriously close to Craig's massive world record, so if you fancy your chances you'd better grab a Buell Firebolt pretty quickly!" said Buell UK marketing boss Allan Brownridge.
"Right now you're going to need enough skill to put in an 860 ft stoppie - but if you've got what it takes, you'll find yourself in the Buell Hall of Fame," added Brownridge. The new Buell site includes full details of Buell's dramatically styled and radically engineered new urban warrior - the Lightning CityX. There's also a great selection of Buell mini-movies and fresh soundtracks and, if you like what you see, you can book yourself a test ride.
Craig Jones is an experienced and professional extreme rider who performs under carefully controlled conditions and only operates specially modified Buell motorcycles. Neither Craig Jones nor Buell UK advocates any extreme riding activities or irresponsible behaviour on public roads.
