I just wanted to thank the Kawasaki dealership that sold the 1200zrx out from under me with a $1000 deposit the week before I got my S1. Without you, I wouldn't have my Buell. Thanks so much for being lame.

Yes, good sentiment and thank you for sharing. I'd like to thank International Motorcycle Exchange for being closed on Sunday when I wanted to purchase a Duc. I was dragged against my will by my friends to Bob Dron's in Oakland and was smitten by the X1. The rest is history.

Yes I'd like to thank the Scudiera - I was looking at the KTM, and the service folks where talking about the new American single - lol - I left - checked out the Blast and never looked back - lol GT - JBOTDS! EZ |

Similair story, at 43 no one (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki dealers) would let test ride a bike, I had the cash too!! The local HD dealer has recently become a Buell dealer so on a whim I decided to check them out and I meet DaveS. The rest is history as they say... Now on my second Buell and having the time of my life!! |

Renaissance Cycles in Tucson wanted nothing to do with my '98 Sporty on trade for the Monster 750 I was looking at. Lusted after an Italian but fell in love with an American! (Still a little lust for an Italian tho...a man can look! ) |

Jon: Is IMX still in business? I bought a bike there two years ago and kind of liked the little shop, but their web site is off the air and they don't advertise on Cycle Trader anymore. |

Well while we're thanking people, I'd like to thank my worthless ex-fiance who I caught cheating back in 1998. Sold the diamond and used the money to by my S1. Second best decision I've ever made! Also thanks to my wife, who wanted a Buell rather than an engagement ring. Best decision I've ever made. |

Ray: IMX burned down (total loss, structure and contents) a couple or three weeks back. Though the shop has earned a negative reputation in the service department (not my personal experience), the owner and his wife are very cool people. I attended a couple of open houses where they were very generous; Duc test rides, food, etc. Sad times indeed. Ken Nelson '98 S3 '99 900 SS |

Ray_maines, Sad news my friend. IMX burned to the ground about a month ago. I don't believe there were any injuries. Oops! Didn't see Ken's post. edited by jon on April 29, 2004 |

Thanks to Confederate Motorcycles for being so expensive, and with no dealer network. Instead I bought that '91 RS turbo thing and got introduced to you bunch of lunatics. Although it's been nothing but BIG FUN, Unlike S1joel, I'm unsure if it could be considered a wise decision! AL |
