Need to rent a bike for a rolling thunder shoot in D.C. during memorial day. Would prefer a ULY. Might have to settle for a GS. We found a GS thru eagle rider. Know any buell dealers that rent ULYs in DC? Any Ideas? |

You can get one at Ray Price in Raleigh, NC. It's 300 miles to DC. I don't know if that fits in with your idea of close or not. |

Good luck finding *any* rental bike available for that weekend, sourced from the DC area....we've had all our bikes booked (and with 2 people per bike in line behind that) since mid-January. |

The closest dealer that rents Buell motorcycles is up in Rahway, NJ. I have not found ANY Buell dealers in MD/DC/PA that rent Buells as to date. |

I'm *trying*...but no success as of yet. |

I noticed an ad for rentals at H-D/Buell of Baltimore (the place at which I first rode a Uly)...just 45 minutes north of DC. Don't know if they're sold out yet, or if they only rent Harleys. I've only ever seen Harley rentals. I rent a lot of bikes around the country (5,000 miles over the last few years), balanced between Hogs and BMWs (because those seem to be the only options). I make my choices based on the ride, my passenger (if I have one), and my mood. These days, my mood wins and BMW is the likely rental. Let me know if you find a Uly renter. I want to ride to Nova Scotia sometime soon, and will most likely rent a Hog from Eagle Rider in Manchester, NH. Good people - I rented a Road King from them the week before Ewan McGregor's brother dropped in to ride around the White Mountains one year. He runs a rental company in England/Scotland. Wish I knew that when I rented a BMW R850R from a guy who looked just like "Guthrie" from the great movie "Rob Roy". |

AFAIK, Balto only rents HDs. |

I have seen uly rentals in NC, reno and one near niagra falls IIRC. We decided against the bike. We will use one of these: If anyone wants one, there should be a GS1200 in D.C. w/ eaglerider now available. |
