Is this for sales, or service? Either way I have had good luck with Downtown HD. www.downtownhd.com Downtown has a Buell tech on staff that people travel far over for service. You have to request that Kevin works on your bike... I have heard good things about the silverdale dealer, but I have never been. Eastside Harley just moved to a huge new location, they seem friendly when I visit, but I have never done business with them. |

Dtwn H-D/Buell has been good to me. I'm taking my Uly down there on wed for a new drive belt. They even had one in stock |

I bought mine from Downtown H-D. They gave the best deal and were honest. Had to wait awhile to pickup the bike but only because they had to prep a new bike. they found damage on the first bike they were prepping and were upfront about it and gave me the call on how I wanted to proceed. I dealt with Greg Kuglar and Ronel, good guys. |

Bought mine from Eastside HD. They were fair, but their services are expensive. Downtown HD service installed the wrong kickstand on my low model. And my swingarm was leaking oil after they replaced it. They fixed it when I pointed it out. I have seen them mistreat their display bikes (been a few years since I seen that though). Legend HD service was TOP NOTCH. But is a bit out of the way. Lynnwood Cycle Barn service is good as well. Based on my experience in the Seattle area, I believe that Eastisde is the way to go. |

Come see me out in Silverdale! We have 2 07 Firebolts, 2 Ulys, 2 Blasts, and will be getting in Jan the Lightnings XB12S, XB12Scg, XB9SX, and the TT in the last week! We have a Buell spot on our website and we ride every week, all year. WE DEMO the Bikes, weather permitting. |

I've had very good luck with Downtown HD in Tukwilla. If you're asking about sales deal with Ronel. Very knowledgeable about Buells and not just wanting to shoe you into a Harley. Good guy! And cut my wife and I a great deal since I was buying both an '06 XB12Ss and an '06 Blast. They even delivered both bikes to my garage 2 days later as my bike had yet to be prepped. If you need to deal with service, they have a great Buell tech. named Kevin. Just ask to speak to him directly when you're in service and he always seems happy to come up front and discuss your service situation directly with you. No complaints! They also continually send us coupons for in store specials on service, parts, & acc. They made my wife and I feel like family! |

Yup, Kevin is THE man for your Buell work at DHD. He's been there a while, having done the work on my Blast in June of 2000. Took care of me for the 10k cost snafu on my XB9S last summer (as did the service dept later). |

i heard downtown was downsizing their buell presence....RMC took over one of the seattle harley dealers should be interesting to see how they do ive always had good luck with RMC and it was just a fun place to hangout at when they had the indoor track but thats gone now to make room for their new harley dealership....downtown is under new management now isnt it...hope so cause imo they sucked ...cross threded my plugs, forgot the new air filter, and charged me for a new headlight bulb when it was under warranty but then again thats what u get for having ur bike serviced during sturgis....and my sales person sucked @ss told her to call me when the 06's came out and id come get one....she laughed at me after i paid cash for my bolt....doh lost a sale guess some people dont like $$$$ just felt disrespected all the way around at downtown....legend made me feel at home try em u wont be sorry. |

Last time I was in I asked about how the "RMC" ownership was working out. I got a good response, so far RMC has not rocked the boat. One thing I like is how RMC likes Buells. They seem to be expanding their presence. The Buells are back in the main showroom area + the side Buell area. I talked to Kevin about it, and he showed me his lastest project. He is now building full on Buell race bikes. They had one on the showroom floor, very tasty... |

I agree with everyone here that suggests Downtown HD. Their are a few people in the parts department that do not care much for Buells (you are always going to have a few HD loyalists around), however almost everyone else like having Buells as apart of their product lineup. Plus everyone at DHD is very friendly and as mentioned before, Kevin does great work on Buells. |

Debueller, from your profile I see you fuel up with Ballard Bitter, aka Redhook ESB. Is it available at the Ravensdale Market? Seriously, I often pass that market and head east toward Selleck and then south towards Cumberland and the Green River Gorge. Sorry I won't be able to join you Christmas day. Happy holidays! |

We ride every week, except for SNOW or ICE! If the weather is wet, come dressed for it, and we go looking for the muddiest nastiest strip of back roads to get dirty on. Ride tomorrow leaves shop at 5:30, Come with a full tank of gas. Also looking for a New Years day ride, to put that notch on the odo. |

City, Keep us posted on NYD. Time, meeting place and a rough idea for a route. The folks at advrider are going on that day also. I'm up in the air where I'm going to ride. One thing is for sure, I'm going riding somewhere. |
