WINNER OF BUELL SLAY THE DRAGON SWEEPSTAKES RIDES DEAL'S GAP

Knoxville, TN -- (Wednesday, October 16, 2002) Buell Slay the Dragon Sweepstakes winner, Randy Urick (45), of Springfield, Va. rode through Deal's Gap with Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer of Buell Motorcycle Company, and Tripp Nobles, veteran Buell racer on October 1, 2002. Deal's Gap follows U.S. 129 through North Carolina, along the Tennessee State line.

The breathtaking ride though the Great Smoky Mountains includes 318 turns in only 11 miles. Due to the aggressive twists and turns of road, motorcyclists have dubbed it, "The Dragon." The sharp curves of the two-lane road have proved to be a challenge to even the most experienced of riders.

"The Dragon is a dynamite road. The Firebolt handled every curve beautifully," said Urick. "How many people can say that they rode 'The Dragon' with Erik Buell and Tripp Nobles?" Urick was introduced to Buell motorcycles by a friend, and has been riding for three years.

As the grand prizewinner of the 2002 Buell Sweepstakes, Urick is now the proud owner of a 2003 Firebolt. Urick whipped through the turns of Deal's Gap next to the man who designed his new motorcycle, Erik Buell.
