Local dealer (Chick's HD-Buell in Albuquerque, NM) finally made me an offer I couldn't refuse (Chick is very generous); I'm buying the demo bike (I know, but just couldn't swing the deal any other way) w/bags thrown in, and an absolutely KILLER trade-in on my 9R and a modified Blast I used to race. I loved my '03 9R (just took a 500-mile ride through the mountains of NM and CO Sunday), but at my advanced age (well, 58) I figured it was time for a comfy bike. I can't believe it...I'm actually getting a Ulysses! I pick it up tomorrow. First thing I'm going to do is duplicate the aforementioned 500-mile ride...but this time in a little more comfort! Yippee! |

Well, allright! The bike Chick "tested" last month? Steve Kafka was going to pinstripe the cast. I bought a Chick's demo one time, they're well taken care-of because Chick rides them too. And Greg--I got mine, too; '96 S2T. You all had so much fun you reminded me of why I liked Buells so much. |

Shinobi, unfortunately Chick has just sold the dealership (the new owners will assume management quite soon, I believe). I don't really want to go public with my deal since you might be dealing with some different personnel and I don't want to mislead anyone. I'm told the new buyers are big Buell supporters, however. |

I just got a real fair deal at Santa Fe Harley/Buell—maybe not "smokin'" but very fair. All the tech guys ride Buells---it feels good. I dealt with a salesman named Michael Osborn |

You Albuquerque guys need to look up a good friend and riding buddy that just moved to NM. Look for Bartimus in the New Mexico section of "Storm Fronts". He's also known in these parts as the Buell Ho...just check out his license plate:

Dr. Greg-- It is good to see that Chick is still at it in Alb. I was in the Air Force at Kirtland in the 80s' and beginning of the 90's and was always well received. I hope you enjoy your Uly... I have had mine since the middle of August and absolutely love it. I have 5 other street bikes and the Uly is always a first choice. |
