They're having ride demos every Saturday in June. If I have a Saturday I'm not working all day, I'll have to check it out and at least give a Buell a fair chance...

They should let you demo any day of the week. Just show up.

What do the demo rides consist of? I've never done one....just a ride around the block?

I called and they have the model I'm interested in (the XB12scg) and the guy I spoke with said I could come anytime and ride it. Next day off I may be making a trip there, as long as it doesn't rain.

Buell is awesome about test rides.

Sweet! Although I'd never ride a bike that's not mine hard...hell I don't ride mine hard alot.

I keep getting calls from the local HD dealer because I was checking out the Buells at the MC show in town. The sales guy said I can come down and demo ANY bike they have on the floor. They sound pretty desperate to make a sale. I'm going to take him up on it though one of these days, just to say I rode a Buell.
