Finally had a chance to drop by my local dealership - Golden Gate HD - to pick up a neck gator. The sales guy tells us that they never received any. Then, he proceeds to tell us that he's a bit surprised that they never received any since they're the biggest Buell dealership in California. So what's up? Is the sales guy full of B.S., or has Buell dropped the ball and not gotten the product out to the dealerships that are actually supporting the product. I've had my Cyclone going on 6 years, now and have done all of my service w/ Golden Gate. Their two locations have always given me superior service - never had any of the issues that are so often griped about in the threads on this board. There's no reason why they shouldn't have gotten their fair allocation of promotional product. If anyone has any information, I'd really appreciate it. | ||

The dealership has to ORDER them before they will receive any. Then the dealership turns in the vouchers printed off the internet, and they get a refund. | ||

most of the shops are not aware. they usually have to check around and find out where they are stored. they make a nice hat too....rex | ||

surprised that they never received any since they're the biggest Buell dealership in California. They all lie and say they're the "biggest". ridiculous. I gave up on the free handouts from dealers, they don't want to be bothered with it and I really don't want to be bothered to enter their establishments. | ||

What are they ? | ||

it's a soft neck warmer much like the ones I already use, but it says Buell on it so it's cool and if you don't have one you'll get bullied for your lunch money. | ||

I gave up on the free handouts from dealers, Not me. I go get all the free stuff. Sometimes, I get extras and send them to people who don't have dealers nearby. Sometimes I buy a new motorcycle. I like freebees and Demo Rides. Freebees get me into a dealership. Demo Rides get me to buy a new bike. | ||

I actually like to get the freebies. So far, they all been quality stuff. Up till now, Golden Gate HD has participated in all of the promotions, however, they are currently under new ownership. I can't see where this would make them unaware of the process of participation - it's still the same sales and service staff for the most part. They are genuinely enthusiastic about the Buell line. I asked about the 1125 and was told they'd sold 'em all, but were working on one in service. I was invited to go up to the service shop and check out not only the 1125, but the XBRR that one of the techs owns for his race team - very cool. While we were talking, my wife mentioned that she noticed my tail light was flickering during our ride, so they sent one of the shop techs down to check it out, and he repaired the connection in the parking lot. If it's true that they must order the product, then get re-imbursed through the printed coupons, then I don't get how they can be that uninformed (with regard to the Buell program) when they make such an effort in other areas. | ||

Everytime I go to Pensacola HD/Buell I am reminded of how lucky I am to have a GREAT dealership. They not only handed over the gaiter with a smile, but told me that I could HAVE the 1125 if I could get it out the front door... My parts guy wouldnt "block" for me though. Go figure. | ||

The only freebie I didn't like was the knit skullcap. Just not a good look for me... | ||

I gave mine to my youngest, the skull cap is more his style than mine. | ||

My three local Buell dealers did not participate (lame). And the two dealerships 100 miles away were out with in two weeks (lame again). So I participated in this marketing survey for free (that's ok, I like Buell.) Hex | ||

I like freebies, Crusty (& others) send em to me, cos they'se good people. So I end up buying a new bike too.  | ||

I will say I like the neck gaiter better than the beanie. It does a really great job. The beanie was too small for my fat head, my 7 year old wants to thank whom ever sized them. |
