I may go to the motorcycle show here in Dallas this weekend but its just not gonna be the same. I didn't make last years but in the past Buell had one of the BEST DISPLAYS for the public to view and touch their product. I loved the bike leaned over on the stand that you could sit on and try, TRY to not fall off of. It showed the real lean angle of these bikes. Still sad to see Buell not participating. SUCKS!

Yup, also in DC the factory folk were very responsive to questions and conversation. I missed them last year.

Very few manufacturers this year. Lots of other vendors though. I may not go back again.

Talked to a couple of Buell riders, but there was only one Buell in the MC parking when we left.

I didn't make it. No one I hang with wanted to spend the $12 bucks to get in and see HD, Kaw, and Ural.

I skipped last year, and will skip this year too. No desire : (

I do, however, like their ads! Here is the header pic from an email I received today about the show: : )

Spend the money on gas. Much better value per $ than most things.

Andy,
I'll probably go again even though it sucks.
Something to do I guess.
Maybe hook up for a beer afterwords?

Maybe wear all Buell stuff and stand around the HD booth and scowl.

Well thanks!

(some of us in the booth in DC were "just" dealer folk and Badwebbers) ; )

Actually my wife and I were both wearing our Buell shop shirts, which did get some attention.

I went to the show in San Mateo and could have seen more brands by visiting the two local "motorsports" stores here in Fresno. No Triumph, KTM or Guzzi. I doubt I'll ever go again. 350 mile round trip a bit much for a couple of Twisted Throttle stickers.
