Just returned from Florida after familly hols and bike week.Visited a few HD dealers and they too can`t be arsed with Buells and one even said that we advise Buell riders to go to indipendant service shops as they will get a qiucker service using non HD parts.Don`t think it`s the dealers fault ,just a lack of back up with parts from HD.Only saw one buell out of many hundreds of bikes,unless you count buell motors in chops.Buells are even getting rare in the states it seems.

I went to bike week back in 02, was looking at T-shirts, found a Buell one and the woman nest to me asked "whats a Buell?" I forgot I wasn't in UK and few Yanks do sarcasm and just scoffed at her lOl lOl lOl lOl lOl

She then asked her husband the same question, who replied "oh its a harley sports bike" I just muttered contempt at this point!! :roll:

Albert,would have been interested in your lovely place but there was 10 of us and we used all six bed rooms in the house we rented.Maybe next time if the inlaws aren`t in tow.I love the place but the roads are so boring and with the food portions out there i would soon be the size of a small island in the pacific.Can only afford to go every 3 or 4 years at the moment untill finances improve so back to dreaming about the next return.
Anyone who finds themselves out there around spring break should visit a beach as the eye candy is amazing .Had to wear shades all day as i was with the mrs and kids.
