By the time you read this, we’ll be in the final throes of preparation for the Daytona 200 on Saturday, March 11. Let me write that again, just because I love the way it sounds: the Daytona 200. Buell is back at the great American race, and I couldn’t be more excited. It was quite a thrill to announce our intentions at the Harley-Davidson Winter Dealer Show in January, while simultaneously introducing the new XBRR racing bike. I don’t mind telling you: Riding that beautiful beast onto the stage in front of a few thousand stunned (but wildly cheering) dealers and staff was something I’ll never forget. You can learn more about the XBRR starting on Page 6, and more about the dealer teams from around the world that plan to race at Daytona on Pages 4-5. As we expected following the release of the UlyssesTM XB12X and the Lightning® Long XB12Ss, 2005 was Buell’s best sales year ever. And we fully expect the excitement surrounding the XBRR, the Daytona 200, and the entire 2006 racing season (keep your eyes on the AMA Formula Xtreme circuit!) to keep things roaring this year, as well. As always, thanks for being a member of BRAG, a group we value as our biggest and most loyal fan base. It’s an honor to build motorcycles for you all. See you at the races! Erik Buell BUELL ISBACK!

  • Conceptualizing the Hydrogeothermal System at Sloquet Hot Springs on Unceded St'at'imc Territory in Southwestern British Columbia
    Conceptualizing the hydrogeothermal system at Sloquet Hot Springs on unceded St'at'imc territory in southwestern British Columbia by Ashley Van Acken Bachelor of Science, Vancouver Island University, 2017 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences Ashley Van Acken, 2021 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Conceptualizing the hydrogeothermal system at Sloquet Hot Springs on unceded St'at'imc territory in Southwestern British Columbia by Ashley Van Acken Bachelor of Science, Vancouver Island University, 2018 Supervisory Committee Tom Gleeson, Department of Civil Engineering Supervisor Kathryn Gillis, Department of Earth, and Ocean Sciences Departmental Member Dante Canil, Department of Earth, and Ocean Sciences Departmental Member Catherine Hickson, Tuya Terra Geo Corp. Outside Member iii Abstract Geothermal research in the southern Canadian Cordillera has typically focused on hot spring systems and predicting maximum temperatures at depth, estimating fluid circulation depths, and investigating the distribution of hot spring systems and their relation to major geological features that often control thermal fluid flow. Detailed fieldwork to develop local and regional conceptual models of these systems has rarely been conducted and to our best knowledge, never in partnership with a First Nations. The scope of this project was to work collaboratively with the local First Nation to conduct detailed structural, hydrologic and hydrogeologic fieldwork to develop local and regional conceptual models of Sloquet Hot Springs, on unceded St'at'imc territory.
