One awesome thing about Erik was he encouraged any employee no matter their job come to his office or call him any time they wanted to talk or if they had any ideas.. he would actually reply to your emails with genuine interest.. show me another creator / CEO in the world who did that.
Working at Buell was the most fun I ever had working anywhere. Erik was a really nice guy and the passion he had for Bikes was really awesome to see. He would practically come to tears talking about his bikes and his employees in meetings.
