Im surprised an HD dealership would even stoop so low as to service a lowly Buell. I mean, they can't fuckin stand them or the people that ride them... Most HD stealerships around here won't even fly the Buell banner anymore. I think they find them threatening.

They are few are far between. That's the main downfall of the Buell line, finding a dealer that is worth a shit.

All the Buell info you could ever want is at www.badweatherbikers.com

The closest Buell dealer to me is about an hour away. They are good people though...always treat me well...and have even done some service for free. Sucks they are so far away. All the closer HD dealers have stopped selling Buell....but it's been years and years since they have anyway.

Its a shame... Being pro Buell could only make them a stronger more profitable dealership you would think.... But maybe they are worried it cuts into their HD sales or something? Or HD customers are turned away by a dealership that sells HD and Buell or something? I just don't get it.

All the HD dealerships that I've been to that have dropped the Buell line, or were planning on dropping Buell had the same thoughts.
Buell doesn't have the profit margin of HD.

The reason... IMO not as many customers through the door. The reason for this is because they FAIL TO ADVERTISE!!

When was the last time you saw an independant dealership advertise for Buell?? Maybe they should try that a bit.

My closest dealer is over an hour away, but they treat me decent. They are kinda buell stupid, so badweb is my friend, but they do listen and treat me well so it's all good.

Buell is only going to get stronger and stronger... HD better recognize and start stepping up the Buell program or they are going to get left in the dust when Buell splits off and goes their own way. HD sales are already shit for the year, you would think that they would be hanging on to ANYTHING that might make its way out their doors.

And when you get there and realize you don't like the layout and the rules, then try www.buelletinboard.com

It won't feel like your eyes are puking and nobody will yell at you for posting something about the 1125cr tire stems in the XB tire stems section...

True...the layout sucks BALLS hardcore. I'm also a frequent visitor of the Buelletinboard.
