The only "Survey Monkey" ( a name that, to me. . in itself, speaks volumes) that ever had any credibility was when the fellow at Buell ()Bruce Champion) was working with a group of interns. In that case, he sent them to Badweb and said so in advance. Class project sort of stuff. If it is a survey, official or not, it would not be related to Buell MOTORCYCYLE Company. . . perhaps the distribution folks. I'd not answer it. . . my PERSONAL OPINION. I have an aversion to spam. |

I got the same thing when I bought my 12S last year, I filled it out. I haven't gotten any increase in spam above normal. |

Many companies are turning to surveymonkey, it is an internet-based survey company. In fact, many automotive companies and dealerships use them. --Sean |

I haven't bought a Buell (or any other) since Sept '04. I WOULD buy (or have bought) if my dealer could just get his 1st 1125r shipment in....hoping for next week....yeah right,,,time will tell but I am NOT doing this survey....If BMC wants me to fill out a survey, make it originate at buell.com and be a bit more personal |

I had a good laugh a couple months ago . . . digging through old stuff and I found a survey from Buell. It went into some degree of detail about how my identity would be protected. Didn't occur to me, until 2007, that the Kansas postmark pretty much outted me . . . fairly simply formula back in the days when there were less Buells in the world than states in the country. |

They don't care what YOU think, maybe... but they DO care about "trends," what "people" seem to want. My company uses surveymonkey for their "360 Evaluations" (which we're in the middle of right now). It's a legitimate company. |

Direct human contact is ALWAYS a good sign... not a guarantee but a good sign. I'd like to see these things referenced on the Buell website. Maybe the surveys could post a link to the "official" announcement. Kinda like the OneLuckyDiablo thing is doing now. They're linked on the official Buell site. |
