Good morning all. I just moved to Greenville, SC and the Buell isn't working. I need to take it in for service but the nearest place i can find is 80 miles away and i have no way to the it there. UHaul wont rent me a trailer because of an ancient policy of not renting to soft top jeeps! I am screwed. A moving van would cost me $100 plus gas and if i have to leave it at the dealer i will have to do the same trip again next weekend when its fixed! Any chance anyone in the Greenville area can point me to a closer Buell shop, or are there any trailers out there i could borrow? Thanks, Matt |

Try posting in the SC Buell Riders forum: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 130123.html? I believe we have at least a couple of Badwebbers near you that may be able to help. |

Matt, there used to be a Buell dealership in Anderson, but they stopped selling and working on Buells in early '07. I have a really crummy little trailer if you don't have luck figuring something else out, let me know. I'm in the Easley/Powdersville area. -Patrick |

sounds like a opportunity to get together somewhere or someones house and do some bike maintence/repair, I know I need an oil change. |

Matt, I live in Greer and do all of my own maintenance, yes this means changing fork oil as well. Your bike just won't start or what? |

if you were to get it fixed, you could just hitch the 80 miles and ride the bike home |
