Author Message   Barker Posted on Tuesday, May 06, 2008 - 10:20 am:        Need to rent a bike for a rolling thunder shoot in D.C. during memorial day. Would prefer a ULY. Might have to settle for a GS. We found a GS thru eagle rider. Know any buell dealers that rent ULYs in DC? Any Ideas?   Jlnance Posted on Tuesday, May 06, 2008 - 10:43 am:        You can get one at Ray Price in Raleigh, NC. It's 300 miles to DC. I don't know if that fits in with your idea of close or not.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, May 06, 2008 - 10:50 am:        Good luck finding *any* rental bike available for that weekend, sourced from the DC area....we've had all our bikes booked (and with 2 people per bike in line behind that) since mid-January.   T9r Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 02:48 pm:        The closest dealer that rents Buell motorcycles is up in Rahway, NJ. I have not found ANY Buell dealers in MD/DC/PA that rent Buells as to date.   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 02:59 pm:        I'm *trying*...but no success as of yet.   Hooper Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 09:49 pm:        I noticed an ad for rentals at H-D/Buell of Baltimore (the place at which I first rode a Uly)...just 45 minutes north of DC. Don't know if they're sold out yet, or if they only rent Harleys. I've only ever seen Harley rentals. I rent a lot of bikes around the country (5,000 miles over the last few years), balanced between Hogs and BMWs (because those seem to be the only options). I make my choices based on the ride, my passenger (if I have one), and my mood. These days, my mood wins and BMW is the likely rental. Let me know if you find a Uly renter. I want to ride to Nova Scotia sometime soon, and will most likely rent a Hog from Eagle Rider in Manchester, NH. Good people - I rented a Road King from them the week before Ewan McGregor's brother dropped in to ride around the White Mountains one year. He runs a rental company in England/Scotland. Wish I knew that when I rented a BMW R850R from a guy who looked just like "Guthrie" from the great movie "Rob Roy".   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, May 09, 2008 - 11:40 pm:        AFAIK, Balto only rents HDs.   Barker Posted on Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 02:08 pm:        I have seen uly rentals in NC, reno and one near niagra falls IIRC. We decided against the bike. We will use one of these: If anyone wants one, there should be a GS1200 in D.C. w/ eaglerider now available.   Maximum Posted on Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 03:05 pm:        Hey...that looks like my work ride.
