that so many dealers are getting out of the business... We've had what... three posts in the last week of new Buellers? That's only the ones that find their way here. I think the future looks bright . |

Hey, I ran into a guy at an event at the local Harley dealer today that owns a XB9S. I told him about the site, so hopefully that will be another new member. |

You mean "there are so many dealers that never got into the business".... We actually "lost" one in modesto. The rest never arrived. |

Visited Modesto once while I was in the neighborhood on business hacking an MRI machine. Great people, great store, we will miss them. |

I'm not sure the dealers are dropping the Buell brand, its just that Buell is, only allowing a certain number of Dealers now. Here in Kansas City we went from around 3 or 4 Buell servicing dealers to 1. |

The last time I was at my closest Buell dealer (100 miles away) I saw this guy getting checked out on his new XB12S. I just had to watch & chat. He & his wife was all smiles. The dealer was doing a much better job of explaining the bike. But the real eye opener was that the lovely couple looked to be in their 70s! Or older even. Wow! It looks like my shop is staying with Buell. Just wish the local Harley dealer would pick up the line. People are interested here but few will put up with the closest shop 100 miles away.
