I got back to work yesterday, I know, I wasn't due back til after 10 am today. I wanted to get a head start on the hell that is "coming back from vacation" Ernie, my up and coming Buell tech got one that is not sold set up so at 7 pm last night(we close at 6) I took it for a little ride. First thing I did was ride it across the yard and jumped the curb with it! The bike is VERY comfy. Lots of room and a great seat. Very upright riding position Suspension is nice and smooth, even over bumps, I was looking for every bump or hole in the road to run over. Only rode it for about 10 miles, I had more work to do. Nice bike! I'm going to let the BRAG members test ride it tonight. |

Daves, When are you getting more Ulys in? I still have a friend who is searching frantically to buy one. |

Daves, I am going for a ride Saturday and Sunday, North of Greenbay, and thought I would stop in to look at the new bikes. When are your guys open on Saturday? Since I am short of a dealer in my area, my in-laws live about 2 hours north of Appleton, so I wanted to check out the place while I was up for the weekend. Let me know Thanks |

I'll be there Sat 8-4 Would love to have you stop in. Let me know about what time as I have to go to GB and pick up a customer at the airport in the morning. I should be back by 10:30 We will then be doing paperwork and suspension settings but you could take a nice long demo ride during that time! Dave |

Hey Daves, That would not be the Black one would it? We might have to work on the price. I sat on one at my local dealer today. It is tall but I do like the bike. I am off to Pa. tonight and will be test riding one on Friday. I will let you know if I like the ride. Mike Long Island, NY P.S. How many hours is it to you from Long Island? |

I have a black one for you. Not the demo one unless you want a deal on it instead? |

I hope it will fit in the saddlebags. With gas prices up, I'm riding everywhere (like I needed an excuse). Now if I could only figure out how to fit snow tires on the Buell for this winter |

Thanks for the Demo ride Daves. It is a great bike, now I only need to convince the wife. ...and grow an inch or two. After testing the bikes we ended up putting another 300 miles on over the weekend, and I wish I had the seat of the Uly. The bug was really planted in Deon, it was all he was talking about the rest of the weekend. On another note... I have a feeling my trans is going south since Sunday afternoon. Not too bad just shifting into 2nd is getting harder and I had it come out of gear a couple of times also. I still have a month or so left on the Warranty, if the dealer here goes to fix it can the '06 parts be put in? I would like it to shift better but I don't mind the clutch pull. Thanks again |

It was great meeting you guys as well! Not sure if they can put the new parts in or not under warranty? Have you checked your primary chain? |
