Not sure if I have the wrong end of the stick, but if this means more revenue and chances of survival for UK dealers and workers, then this policy may not be as bad as it looks? Prices for most regular Buell consumables are still low compared to other bike-brands, and I don't know if have been damn lucky, but availability of most stuff seems better now than back in 2001 when I bought my M2 new.

Anyway, we bikers spend fortunes on Rossi-replica helmets, carbon-fibre codpieces, dodgy loud exhausts and other pointless and overpriced wank, surely we can cough up a few extra pennies for the bits to keep our bikes- as well as our local suppliers going?

I personally think £75 for a clutch cable is a bit fucking steep. But then maybe I'm just being a cheapskate.

My experience is limited to Old Guzzis and New Triumphs. Is it hell.

I am very close to selling my Buell and my Harley....I know the prices are good because of Euro buyers and my head is telling me to go for it, but my heart is strong, yet it can and has been stupid in the past lOl

Infact, the more time I spend at home, the less need I have for all the vehicles I have......I feel like I am going back in time and no longer enjoy leaving my house......Weird shit :?

Spot on Att :worthy: (apart from selling my bikes lOl ) I love being a hermit at my gaff, and unless I'm going out for a spin on my bike, I'm perfectly happy. Having said that, I enjoy having visitors and they are very welcome - I even have great sport with unwelcome ones who stray down my track :evil: lOl lOl
