I taught Riders Edge this weekend and I am almost 100% sure that 3 of my students are going to be joining the Buell ranks. When I left one guy had called his wife to bring the check book. He was getting a '07 Scg that only had 316 miles on it and was only 2 months old!! Asking price was 8495.00! I thought it was a good deal. The other 2 "kids" are eying the Uly. Its a lot of fun to plant the Buell seed and watch it grow!! |

You should be ashamed of yourself. Too many people are "getting it", stop promoting our secrets to unsuspecting new bike owners. |

The msf course is how I found Buell. Been hooked ever since. |

I already liked Buell when I took Rider's Edge, but I had just bought a Sportster. It didn't take me long to re-evaluate my stable and add a Buell to the mix. Now the Sporty is gone and my CityX is the primary bike. --Sean |

>>>>Too many people are "getting it", stop promoting our secrets to unsuspecting new bike owners. I said that to Don Chase when the number of Buell owners hit 50 . . . how the heck are we going to keep track of everyone? I still have the list of names somewhere on an old visi-calc spreadsheet. |

Saw my first Buell in a magazine and thought it was ugly, back in the late 80's. in 2003 or so, I was looking for a Harley but couldn't afford one, then recall hit and I remembered that the Buell had a Harley plant in it in the old Magazine article/advertisement, looked one up and bought it. Been hooked ever since. |

back in 1998, I went to the local Harley-Davidson dealer and wanted to buy a Harley. They didn't have any new ones for sale and I was talking to Keith Ulicki (owner of Ukes) who talked me into test ridding a Buell. I tested a M2 Cyclone and purchased it, been riding a Buell ever since! I'm glad that they didn't have any Harleys now, because I like the Buells better and they are made locally! |

One of my employees took the beginner class a month ago and just left me an e-mail over the weekend saying that she bought a 2005 Blast. That's what she learned on and loved it, so she bought one. Good choice!!!! |

Back about a year ago, I started looking for a new motorcycle to upgrade from my Suzuki GS500f. I was looking at getting a Ducati but then my co-workers convinced me otherwise. Not sure how I found Buell, but I did some research on it and I was starting to like the Firebolt. Back in February, I went to a bike show at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC, and was checking out some bikes. Eventually I got to the Buell booth, and that’s when I saw the Ulysses for the first time. I sat on it and said “this is it”. I fell in love right there and I guess as they say the rest is history. |

Good job. I had one student who was a decent enough rider but scared to death of a Sportster and really not ready for something that heavy and top heavy at that. They had a new Blast on the floor which was exactly what she wanted, having been convinced that she could ride the freeway and the backroads and keep up with hubbies Dyna. (She was probably convinced because I rode my Blast down the X-way to get there and passed her doing 70 on the way in. Unfortunately, the salesman kept trying to sell her an 883 and wound up losing the sale. She bought a Blast off of ebay |
