Buell does their sign ups for demo rides different than anyone else.

Buell doesn't do time slots, they do "groups" and they'll tell you "each ride is approximately 25 minutes; right now we're on group 12, and we're about 2 groups out for the bike you want." They recommend you come and wait a little while prior to your group, then they announce the group #, and it's first come, first serve from there.

EXCEPT for the 1125... the 1125 is in such demand that they make you just wait in line there till it's your turn. They only had either two or four I beleve (1 or 2 in each of the two groups of bikes) so it's much harder to get a turn on one of those. When we asked about them, the kinda laughed at us.
