| Servicing Dealership: |
Me - Bob's Garage

None, it is fast enough for me.
|
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
20 miles - dealer replaced fouled rear spark plug when the bike was delivered, 800 miles - clutch cable wireform bracket broke, dealer rerouted clutch cable to left side of engine. Did not have the new bracket in stock. 4000 miles, inner rear brake pad failed (disappeared), dealer replaced rear pads and rear rotor under warranty.

Angeles Crest Highway, Angeles Forest Highway whenever I can get to CA. Sure wish I could get my Uly there.
|
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
The Uly does about everything a motorcycle should do exceptionally well. A bit of research and the choice of a Buell was a no-brainer.
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Improve dealer network and improve parts availability at the dealers.

It is easier to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission.

| Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): |
Too scared to look.
|

Syn 3
