Well, if you've been living under a rock the past 6 months, We've got a pretty important event planned.... June 16th-20th, 2010 East Troy, WI As of right now, there are still 30 available. I'd suggest, if you plan on attending, I'd get them now. As the weather gets nicer, us locals will be running in to other Buellers and tell them about the event! Click here to get your tickets! Homecoming 2010 T-Shirts Dana(BadS1), and The Sign Shop of Racine have created a pretty cool limited production T-shirt.   Pick your shirt up at the event, or have it shipped starting at $5.00.

nice shirt, but it says "Harley Davidson" three times on the back.  | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Yup, it sure does. Hals, Ukes, and Antelope have, and continue to be Buell supporters. Just because it says Harley Davidson doesn't mean they support the decision to close Buell. HD is more than the CEO & board of directors. Antelope sponsors Slaughter's racing efforts, and was VERY generous in their donations to support an elf fund. Basically, quite a few Ex-Buell employees will be joining us during the banquet for free because of them. Hals has been a HUGE Buell supporter. They've fielded some pretty impressive Buell race bikes. Ukes was one of the 1st Buell dealers in the country. And without Keith(owner of Ukes), it would have been very difficult for Erik to make payroll at times in the early days of Buell. | ||

exactly. don't crucify the dealers for decisions made by H-D. In fact, support the dealers that supported and still support BUELL. | ||

and you will notice no direct link to the mother company. | ||

Uke's museum has as many historical Buells as it has Harleys. Buell's R+D director's name was Dave Ulicki. Same Ulicki family as Uke's ? (Message edited by milt on April 11, 2010) | ||

You got it. | ||

None the less this event is probably going to be the biggest in history and if not the biggest enthusiast organized Buell event ever. The 3 dealers listed have gone over and beyond for us Buell Enthusiasts and will continue to do so. Get your shirts while you can. This has been an emotional year for Buell and all of us Buell nuts. Ya don't have to come to Homecoming to get one either. | ||

I'm as upset with Harley-Davidson as anybody for dropping Buell but I will NEVER blame the dealers who supported Buells such as the sponsors that are named on the 2010 Buell homecoming tee-shirt. I have and will continue to support them. If I was a betting man, I would bet that those dealers will carry Erik's new line of motorcycles when or if he ever starts a new motorcycle company. I'm going to order at least two shirts, maybe more. | ||
| Cyclonedon |
also forgot to mention that I saw the 2010 Buell Homecoming tee-shirt at the Chicago IMS this year and it looks great! | ||
| Steve_mackay |
That's an easy bet  | ||

That is an accurate statement. | ||
| Buell2001b |
you have to admit Hals HD and the other fellows have been loyal to Buell and its customers. I have old glory in my area and they are very Pro Buell too I have to say thanks to those guys. | ||

Not only have all the named dealers proven their mettle in the past . . . they have stepped up to the plate in a big way when the guys and gals organizing the 2010 Buell Homecoming came to them to help. I am really proud of these dealers for their continued support and for standing strong as Buell supporters and the corporate winds change. One thing they all have in common is that they are owned and run by guys who have genuine enthusiasm for the sport of motorcycling. I'm proud to have them as sponsors. | ||
