I'm buying a bike soon and I'm REALLY interested in the Uly. It's received some great press, and it sounds like just the kind of bike I'm looking for. However, I've been hearing things about HD dealers treating Buell buyers/owners like second class citizens. Has anyone found this to be true? Any experiences (good or bad) with either the dealer in Meredith or Manchester? |

Try BCM Ducati in downtown Laconia for a good seal on a Duc.They're one of the nations most reputable dealers |

Have you tried asking the New Hampshire crew on this? By NH crew, do you mean the dealers themselves or other riders? If other riders, I'm hoping to hear from them here. I really like the Uly and I've pretty much made up my mind to get one. I just want to make sure I find a dealer that's going to treat me right. A little knowledge up front can't hurt. |

I took a Uly for a test ride and I have to say I loved it. I got used to the handling of the bike quicker than any other bike I've ridden in the past. Good luck with your purchase. We do have a Buell salesperson in the NEBO crew........ EBoos is his name. |

Yes Eric! Here we go! Paramount is the only place "around" Boston I can get Buell parts. Guy at counter is Boston grumpy, but he gets it done. Boston Harley-Davidson/Buell (of Everett) is now just the Harley-Davidson, but they have not covered, or taken the Buell sign down the last time I drove by. My queries about this have gone unanswered. Before my discovery of their dropping the line without notice, I went down on a Sunday for XB oil filter, they don't even have those. Wound up ordering from American Sport Bike instead. So, I guess they can now fit in a few more Wide Glides, PROC made Harley wear, and Screamin' Eagle parts instead of a couple XBs and essential stocked parts??? The dealer floor is huge, so I don't get it. San Diego H-D was a different experience... |

What's up NEBO guys? This is Dan from New Hampshire Thunder. Haven't heard from Skiaddict, but here's my take. I've heard decent things about Meredith HD, but haven't been there yet. Manchester is pretty good. There are a couple of Buell enthusiasts who work there. Al works the parts counter and I can't remember the other guy's name in sales. The staff is pretty welcoming and the parts department is great. I've always been treated with respect and have always received the parts I've been looking for or they were ordered quickly for me if not in stock. Their Buell selection has dwindled and the apparel/swag area is down to one rack. They still have a couple of things though. Hope that helps. |

My 2 cents about Meredith and Manchester HD/Buell... I've never used them for service work but always use them for parts. They are ALWAYS great to me on the phone, ship my parts out immediately, don't charge an arm and a leg for shipping (usually $5), and help me with any maintenance questions. If I call and they are busy they always call me back ASAP. I did a ride with the White Mountain Thunder Club last year and we met at Meredith HD who kindly let the group hold meetings in one of their conference rooms. I recommend both these dealers. |
