Well they are paid to do work on the 1125r, so I suspect they didn't have the skill to wrench on 'em. (If that is the truth as to why they dropped the line. That seems fishy too.) |

"to many issues with the 1125r" Riiiigggghhhttt(Dr. Evil voice). Lack of sales I could see but "too many problems", hahahahahaha, yeah sure. What is the dealerships name BTW. It would be interesting to hear what the deal is from them. |

"I even picked up a buell ink pen and tried to sign my bill and the pen wouldn't work" Out of the 36 HD dealers closest to me, only 10 carry, the Buell line (A.D. Farrow counted twice for the Buell, two stores). I don't know the circumstances, but that doesn't offer Buell much of a fair shake? |

There are two Harley shops near me in Nashville, and neither of them carry Buell. Closest Buell dealer is about 40 miles from me, but it could be worse. Actually, there is no Buell dealer in Nashville, the capitol of Tennessee. Go figure??? |

Well, only 2 dealers in my entire STATE carry the Buell line but it isn't because of the problems experienced with the 1125R. Still waiting to hear back from the troll so I can verify the original "too many problems with the 1125" bs. |

But you live in Cullman, AL....home of one of my favorite motorcycle shops...D&H Cycles. Not a Buell shop, but if you need a Kawasaki or Yamaha...they are the folks to hook you up. |

D&H sure sells a lot of bikes for such a small business. |

Yes they do. Do they still have the gravel parking lot and don't take credit cards? (Message edited by chadhargis on September 11, 2009) |

Yep, still have the gravel and if you don't have cash or a check, you can't do business with them. I always thought that it would hurt their business but so far it seems to be working for them. |

that was thier words there arent many buell dealers in louisiana and none close anywhere where i live so im glad i traded mine in before i got stuck with a bike that had problems i couldnt get fixed. i wonder what the guys around here will do with thier broken buells and no dealer to resolve problems. |

Could be worse, Ducati dealer here had the line pulled on them Now you get to drive your $22,000 Duc 4 hours to Toronto or 2 hours to Laval to get your oil changes/valves serviced. (Message edited by ratgin on September 11, 2009) |

There is only one Ducati dealer within 150 or so miles of me. Triumph, KTM, BMW, aren't any better. At least there are two Buell dealers within 60 miles of me. |

cajun in lafayette appears to have dropped Buell, Baton Rouge HD/B is still hangin as of last month but don't have much stock on the floor and is all on sale price for them. no accessories/clothing,stickers with Buell logos. Mike Bruno's in Houma is close to Berwick and seemed to have a decent Buell business the only time i was there some years ago. a track friend of mine is riding an 08 12r he got there this year. tim |

Well if Tonedeath is from Morgan City, Houma would be the closest, no? I used to work off shore out of Morgan City, in a past life... Z |
