SO as some of you may know, Dave Gess and Court Canfield were kind enough to come to our open house and sign their awesome book, 25 Years of Buell. We had a few books left over, and so before we let them leave for the night, we dragged them down to the basement. . . Well, the details are unimportant. We have several copies of 25 Years of Buell available for purchase, signed by both authors, here at Liberty. They're available online at www.libertyharley.com/buell or you can come down and pick one up in person! Remember, we ship overseas, and are THRILLED to help out our military folks deployed outside of the U.S. Please email esales@libertyharley.com with your zip for a shipping quote overseas. And don't forget, we have a great selection of T-Shirts, hats, jackets, patches, decals and the like available online at www.libertyharley.com/buell. THANKS DAVE AND COURT FOR MAKING OUR OPEN HOUSE SPECIAL!!! ->ChelleM |

Thanks for the info Chelle, I really wanted to come out but couldn't make it. Just ordered mine, I was wondering how I could get it signed too. |

>>>and somehow ended up getting other stuff in my cart Don't feel bad . . . I left there last weekend with a pile of shirts and several accessories for the Ulysses. . . . I fell into her trap! Nice to see a dealership brimming to the doors with Buell clothing and accessories. . . . |

Michelle, I was there on Sunday looking for a leftover book. Couldn't find one so I was forced to take a few demo rides :-) Sorry I missed Saturday, sounds like a great time was had by all. I placed my online order for the book and a few other items. Thanks for your Buell support! |

It is good to see a dealership with a variety of stuff. Not just a couple the leftovers from the last two years hanging around in sizes nobody wears. I unfortunately have never been to Liberty, but a significant portion of my Buell clothing now has their logo... Court - Sorry, but I don't feel bad for you. It must be SOOOO hard to have to buy stuff for your Uly...wish I had that problem... |

I was there on Sunday looking for a leftover book. Couldn't find one so I was forced to take a few demo rides :-) WELL I'm glad you got to ride anyway - I think the few folks who came on Sunday got their "money's worth" so to speak. Hard to compete with Rolling Thunder. We had the books downstairs still, hidden, for some reason. Not the best way to sell things, it turns out. Not just a couple the leftovers from the last two years hanging around in sizes nobody wears. Well, we don't JUST have that stuff. But we do have that stuff. www.libertyharley.com/buell and click on Clothing, then SALE RACK. Guys, I can't thank you enough for your support. Since I uploaded those books on Wednesday afternoon, we've had record hits and sales on the Buell section. Should'a kidnapped Court a long time ago. He's not that far away... ->ChelleM |

Damn . . .I just went to that website and found 3 more "must have" . . . 2 shirts and a jacket. This really sucks to have a dealer who actually has this stuff in stock . . . I've long told dealers . . "ya gotta have it to sell it". I spent two months with a dealer once. They didn't want to invest in any Buell merchandise. I, to make a point, brought in a dozen Buell manuals and put them on a shelf. They'd NEVER sold a Buell manual. All 12 sold in 5 weeks. Amazes me that I, a construction guy, had to tell a retailer this. First we covet what we see. |

My "25 Years of Buell" book was waiting outside my door when I got home from a late meeting... Thanks Court and Dave for keeping me up until 2:30AM!!!! I could not put the book down. I knew that Buell had a tough time starting out but I didn't realize how many other 'issues' Erik had to deal with... (just had to refrain myself from writing about them for obvious reasons) Thanks so much for writing this book!! This history needed to be documented. Great work!!! |

Jespo, glad you liked it. It was fun to write although some of those hard times were a littlw painful to remember. Less so then actaully watching Erik go thorugh them of ocurse and the ending, so far, is pretty good |

For you folks that have received yours...how long did you have to wait? I'm still without. |

Hootowl - I just ran your tracking, and it has a scheduled delivery for 10/1. Guess your locale is a bit farther than Tank_Bueller's. I'll PM you the tracking and you can watch it yourself. And let me know if you don't get your package in the next day or so! We still have a few books - tell your friends! Once the orders via the BadWeB die down, we'll probably throw whatever we have left on eBay. Thanks for everything everyone! ->ChelleM |

Thanks Michelle! My mail server is offline because of Ike, (no power, and still no cable/Internet) so if you emailed me the tracking number, it bounced. I was (literally) in the dark about things. I guess I should be more patient. Can't wait to read the book. Thanks for putting this together. Jeff |

I received mine on 9/30. Thanks Liberty, for making the signed copy available and getting it out so quick! Thanks Dave and Court! I can't stop reading (and re-reading) it. Great story with AWESOME photography! Now I can stop looking at the Harley books to see only a one or two page "blurb" on Buell history. After reading this it seems hard to believe that the company even exists... |

You nailed it! . . . . . it is so cool. By the way . . . you guys need to start getting to Amazon and writing reviews after you've had a chance to look the book over. That stuff makes a huge impression on the publisher and riders of other brands. There is growing interest from a business and entrepreneurship perspective. Thanks to YOU guys and gals for the kind words. Court |

You really make me look good sometimes. ->chellem |
