When I walk into a HD/Buell dealership and they have Buells sitting on the floor but not ONE ••••••• Buell t-shirt, I make it a point to walk up to the "accessories" manager and ask "are you a Buell dealer"? They always point to the bikes and say "yes, we are" I ask "any Buell apparel"? When they break out the catalog and show it to me and say "we can get you anything you want" I say "sorry, I am a impulse buyer. You dont have ANY Buell stuff"? Then I take whatever is in my hand (I have 2 other Hd's) and put it on the counter and say that I prefer to do all of my shopping at one stop. Ask for directions to your favorite dealership and then leave. It seems to be working, Reno HD/Buell actually had a Buell helmet the last time I was in. Buell would be so much better with their own venue. | ||

That's a great idea. Dealers hate that. | ||

   You mean it doesn't look like this?  | ||

Daves, YOU DA MAN. No never seen a Buell display like that anywhere! We need to talk. Need parts to convert my 12s to a 12scg. | ||

Other Dealers should take note of that Buell display, don't know where it is just hope it's a really long way from where I live, if that was in the neighbourhood I'd just go direct deposit rite to them!  | ||

Appleton WI You can just call me and get whatever you want 1-866-757-1651 ask for Dave in the sales dept | ||

Dave has a very fine offering of Buell stuff. But Buell itself simply does not yet offer enough. Walk into an HD shop and there is a plethora of cool t-shirts of various design. Tradional, tribal, skull, flame, etc. The Buell shirts, if and when they can be found, are rather bland. No offense or critisism intended. Just raising my hand and wishing for more. | ||

Dave, That's impressive. I've NEVER seen buell apparel or accessories in any shop. Bland clothes or not, I just want to see Buell start taking some pride in representation... or see HD start encouraging dealers that carry Buell to represent Buell. | ||

I wish I knew how to post pics here. I don't have a display to match Daves display, but I have an entire wall dedicated to Buell alone(shirts, accessories, helmets, etc.). Now if I only had some bikes to go with it!!! | ||
| Daves |
Well you are never going to see as many Buell T shirts as HD. 3000 Kabillion HD riders another 5000 kabillion people that have HD t shirts but no HD Doesn't hurt to wish though. I am working on some new designs for Buell of Appleton t shirts. I am not overly happy with what I have available through Buell/Vanson either. | ||

DaveS... can you (and your dealership owner) open up a few more Buell stores across the US? Just think, in a few years you could grow large enough to have a dealer network that actually supports the product line. DAve | ||
| Daves |
 I wish! | ||

Daves - Show off! Merry Christmas to you and your wife. | ||

Nice set-up Daves! I wish a few dealers around here had better selections (if any) Buell merchandise. I have to admit Buellgator has the best I've seen so far. All I need now is some extra dough. $$$ Keep it up you guys! | ||
| Paint_shaker |
Nice set up DaveS!!! Gainesville Buell (FL) has a small but nice display with awesome Buell support!!! Lakeland H-D/ Buell (FL) has a decent Buell display also. If I remember correctly, I think I saw Buell boots and a Buell mesh jacket there. | ||
| Daves |
 Better picture  I have bikes too!  Notice the Buell jacket? That is my office | ||
| Daves |
Jersey, Yep, I am a huge show off! | ||

A real Buell Dealer. Its Like Buell Heaven. I would have to get a second job because I would be spending too much in there. | ||
| S1eric |
I wish I lived closer to Wisconsin. That dealership is LUCKY to have someone like Daves ! There are some good shops in my area, But. Thats impressive. A D&D on the shelf ready to go. Gear & hardware on display. Talk about getting the impulse buyer. Very nice. S1Eric | ||
| Diablobrian |
Wow Dave.....just wow. | ||
| Dana P. |
Yeah he even sells Jeff Johnson signed with certificate of authenticity replica S1\fuel tanks. | ||
| Sgthigg |
Impressive Lay out you guys have. I thought if was Harley of Appleton not "Buell of Appleton. I think if you combined all the Buell Gear and bikes I have seen at Harley Dealerships total into one store it still wouldnt compare to your set up. Daves I guessed good one the levers didnt I? | ||

Geez - the Holy Land - Very sweet Daves! GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

Daves Im gonna be coming out to Illinois and Minnesota next year (via car  ) but I think now I'm going to have to adjust my course a bit and come see your place. That is hands-down the best and biggest Buell display I have ever seen. (Message edited by pwnzor on December 28, 2005) | ||

just went into wilwert's HD and buell in dubuque looking around the other day. last time i was in there a guy rude his thunderbolt down and rode out on a new uly. couldn't even get the complimentery shirt in a buell one had to be harley. so when i was back there the other day i asked them if they had any buell stuff besides the 2 bikes and the clothing lady said no. but she said maybe eventually they will figure it out because she has had e few people the last few weeks coming in and asking if they had any. i told her it's kinda hard to sell stuff that a person cant really even get a good look at. i'm not one that really likes to have to order stuff. who knows how its really going to fit when u get it. they did have some icon stuff though which was nice to finally be able to try on a coat and helmet. | ||

I am pretty sure I would have to physically torture the guys at Dean's HD/Buell to get them to carry the Buell luggage, although to be fair they do have a nice selection of the apparel. In all honesty I haven't found a single dealer around the northeast that has the Buell luggage in stock. And while it may sound childish.. how about some friggin' stickers?! C'mon, my laptop needs more than 'Dell' on it, and my toolbox, and car...  | ||
| Stwings |
I have to say Daves, that is impressive. I wish I lived closer. I have yet to find a HD/Buell dealer here in MI that has ANY Buell merchandise besides a bike or two. | ||
| Buellblastrider |
i like the sticker thing and would love a cling on style window sticker (hint hint anyone that can find a way for that to happen) | ||
| Daves |
I have stickers in stock with more on the way. |
