Two different times this weekend people asked me: "Where can I find a Buell? I have no idea who sells them!"   I directed them to my favorite Buell dealer, Buell of Bloomington, Indiana. | ||

Shh! Its a secret! You can't tell anyone! | ||

If they don't know, they shouldn't be riding one. Point them towards the local Suzuki dealership. (Message edited by icon12r on July 02, 2007) | ||

If they don't know, they shouldn't be riding one. Point them towards the local Suzuki dealership. WRONG!!! always tell everybody you meet about the Buells so they can discover the great American motorcycle that we all ride!!! | ||

And you want to get a bigger customer base how? Buell relies on it enthusiasts to spread the word! | ||

How many have had this conversation? "What kind of bike is that" "It's a Buell." "A Bull?" "No... Be-yul, Buell." "Bull?" "No... B E U L L, Buell." "A BMW?" "No... it's a... Harley." "A Harley?" "Yes... you get them at the Harley dealer... it's a Sportster engine in an updated chassis with modern brakes and supension. "When did Harley start making Ninjas?" "Kawasaki makes those...." "I used to have a Ninja that could do 200mph. Can a Bull do 200mph?" "I really gotta go... nice talking to you." | ||

LOL Thats as bad as the conversation between the Squid and the Parts Guy: Parts Guy: "Can I help you?" Squid: "Yeah I need a piston for a Blue Yamaha." Parts Guy: "I'll never get the next fifteen minutes of my life back." | ||

 i spent a few years standing behind parts counters, and the piston for the blue yamaha is priceless. i like this one.... Parts guy: "What can i help ya with?" Yak: "I need some chrome for my bike." PG: what kind of bike? Yak: (with great pride) it's a harley. PG: um...yeah. what model? Yak: (with great confusion and mild frustration) whaddya mean? it's a damn harley. PG: oh... well then... i'll get out the 883 sportster book.... Yak: (with great indignation) no, hell no it's not a sportster! PG: oh...so what is it? Yak: it's a __________. PG: alright, now we're gettin' somewhere... (parts guy rolls eyes and pantomimes shooting self in the head to his coworkers as he returns the sportster parts book and grabs the catalog with all the chrome in it. ) welcome to the wonderful world of dealing with the public.  | ||

Hey DJ you for got this one, "Is that A Ducati?" "no Its a Buell" "Whats a Buell?, is that Itallian?" "er no its american made" "Thats a custom right?" "er no its a 2001 production x1?" "it looks like a proto type" "Nope, think of it this way, Its a crotch rocket with a hotrodded sportster motor in it and about 6,000 were built that year " "you gonna chop it that would be cool?" "ER no, hey have a nice day..." | ||

Who makes them? The same guys who make Ducati. No $hit? Cool ain't it, but you gotta special order it about a year in advance and pick it up in Italy. Wow, they gotta cost a lot. Yup, sure do, but it's worth it to have a bike this cool, and did I mention chicks dig them? No $hit!  | ||

That's some funny stuff. I get the BMW thing quite often. How they come up with BMW I'll never figure out. | ||

Today at the shop I had a guy ride in on a Ducati Monster and ask when did Moto Guzzi come out with the X1 crotch rocket. Uhh, yeah man aint it cool? | ||

Man people in the northeast must watch more "educational" tv because it seems everyone I meet has seen the discovery channel special that mentions the Buells for a minute. They always say "Yeah I saw that bike on Making of the VROD on tv." I tell them they should really go test ride one becuase they dont know that they are missing. | ||

I used to hear the Ducati line all the time. People would insist I was riding a Ducati...like I didn't know what I was riding. Crazy. How many ex-dirt trackers have you met at gas stations? Strangely, I've come across quite a few...and they've all been really cool people who love the Buell. | ||

I got "Is that an enduro?" with my Uly. The light just turned green, so I just said "No, it's a Buell." and he drove off with a confused look on his face. | ||

"Boo-ill, Dats one of dem german bikes aint it? "No it's american, there part of Harley." "Lookie here buddy, Harley dont make f*%^ing crotch-rockets!!" "Your right I was pulling your leg, its a honda prototype" | ||

One guy insisted the name was Bwell, as in "Dwell." A cop asked me "what kind of bike is that?" When I said "Buell", he replied "I can see that, but who makes it." "Buell" say I. "Sure looks like a Harley engine." He shook his head in a knowing way and let me go with a warning. Figured "poor guy" I didn't know hat kind of bike he was riding. | ||

Who makes that bike? Buell... What did you give for it?... I traded my Road King for it.... YOU DID WHAT?!?!?  When I tell people I traded my Road King for my Uly, they look at me like I have 2 heads. The icing on the disbelief cake is my wife saying its a more comfortable ride than the Road Thing. | ||
