FYI, Tim Hurley (GS BRAG) has arranged for Glendale HD/B to have the 11 x 17 card to congratulate Erik Buell and Buell Motorcycle Company on their 20th Anniversary. Tim says, "Lets get as many signatures as possible to show our support for Buell. Time is of the essence." See Chris Matty at the dealer between now and Friday, Aug 15. After Friday it will be in the mail.

Re SCAB meeting Aug 7: Perhaps we could get a card going for the SCAB Riders too.

LA Area Folks:

Every Wednesday Night, Glendale HD/Buell and Hollywood HD put on a Bike Night at Universal CityWalk.

The deal? FREE SUPERVISED PARKING! 20% off your dinner at the Saddle Ranch Chop House! 20% off motorclothes & merchandise at Hollywood Harley-Davidson! Look, how often do you get to park for FREE at CityWalk?

Bike Night starts at 6 pm. Enter Universal from Lankserhim at Universal Terrace Parkway (). Climb the hill, pretend you're a bandit and blow past the parking booth, then follow the signs which read something like "Motorcycle Event" to the parking area. You'll be given a ticket which pairs you up with your bike (so someone doesn't accidentally borrow your pride & joy) and a wristband which sets you up for your 20% discounts for food & merchandise.

See you there!

-Saro

PS - Sanity Check: Plan your route so you're NOT TURNING LEFT on Unversal Terrace. That light is the worst. You'll melt your motor and be in need of a haircut and shave by the time you make it through.

Hello everyone,, I just got a call from a research company in Milwaukee working for Buell... They asked me a couple of questions and they told me they are coming down from Milwaukee and want to have a sit in with me next Thursday at 8:30pm.. They want me to bring along 2 friends with sportbikes and we each get $25.00 cash and it will be at a Tony B's bar/grill in the LA area.
I dont know too many friends w/ sportbikes, so far I only have one person in mind... anybody interested send me a message... They will be calling me on Monday to see if I got two people to do it. I dont think they will take me by myself..

also has anybody done this before??????

I can only get a 2 week vacation from work so im not leaving till this saturday, 8/22... I wish I could leave sooner though...

At least I will be able to give buell my 2 cents this thursday. I still have those two spots open people, I was hoping to get some Buell riders to come with me.

Doesnt anyone want to tell Buell what they think and get paid for it?

Buell Focus Group at the ROCK STORE:

They called me today and said that is where they want to meet. They said they are flying in from Milwaukee so they are not sure on the times yet but it will be this Friday or Saturday. They asked me to bring two people and we all get 25.00 dollars each. I still dont know who's coming with me.

So Viros, how serious is this "focus group?" I am in denial about my eyesight so might need reading glasses

Does owning 2 Buells automatically disqualify me for the focus group? What if I race one of them? I can take the day off Friday. Weekday is a better ride to the Rock Store anyways.

Hi Viros,
I might be able to do it. If it's a Friday night or on Sat. What is a Focus group about anyway? New product planning?

If it is Saturday depending on the time I might not even able to do it since I will be leaving for the 100th. All that Ive been told is that they have been hired by Buell and its a hour and a half and they just want to talk motorcycles w/me and two friends who ride sportbikes.

They told me they will call me before the end of the week to confirm the exact time/date since they are not certain yet because people are flying in from Milwaukee. As soon as I hear from them I will post the exact time and date. But Im not sure what to expect myself.

Victor,

I don't think the Rock Store is open on Friday. But Saturday there should be lots of sportbikers & RUBs at any time.

You previously mentioned Tony B's in LA. I think you meant Tony P's in Marina Del Rey (info at bottom of page). This is where Bartels' LA#1 Hog group has their meetings. It's a lot closer than the Rock Store.

I think your right sparky, I didnt write down the name since they told me they would call me back to confirm. They ended up changing it to the rock store.

Victor,

Wondering how legit they are - it'd be easy enough to contact Buell to verify it. That'd be my only concern - that they aren't misrepresenting themselves. Not that it's a matter of earth-shattering importance but on the outside chance that it's a bluff, might be worth a call. If the are on the up-and-up then all is well.

Well I'm not going to be able to make it. We are swamped at work. I just got home (8PM) and it looks like we will be working these hours for the rest of the week, including Sat. Oh well.

Eric,
I think I won't make the OctoberFAST, since I'll be at Torquefest the weekend before. But who knows, stranger things have happened. Bummer, sounds like fun.

Al

PS Is your ankle good to go for dirtbiking? Anything planned for september? I'm itching to go, my XR is feeling lonely all locked up in the trailer.
