Actually......it gets much better than that in the world of Harley-Davidson transportation and union rules. Anything headed East goes, by HD Truck, to York FIRST, then gets transferred to a commercial carrier.

West is a whole 'nother story......

There's very little correlation (with the possible exception of Australia) 'tween distance from East Troy and delivery time.

I can tell you, however, that the systems are good and are "optimized" given the nature of the challenge.

I was helping prep up the 9S in back <mainly cause there is no lit out for it yet, and only one light stays on at a given time.

Mennis,
Are you the one who pre-bought the 9S?????
If you have to work then have Rick give me a call and I'll pick it up for you. Just let me know how many miles you want on it before Sunday.
Okay? Please? Oh well, thought I'd try.

Ah, you're going to wait another month then, eh????? I'm hoping something interesting rides past the group at some point, won't be obvious unless one pays close attention though. We'll just have to wait and see.

Attention Colorado Buellers,

We got our first XB9S (Black) in today. I'm going to hold it on the floor for a couple weeks for everyone to see it (it's not spoken for). The ride is a lot like a Cyclone in the seating position, but all Firebolt in the handling. I'm really in love...time to hide the wallet for my own good.

Still no truck here in Waterloo. I did talk to my DM today on another matter. He informed that the dealership that I've bought 3/4 of the Firebolts they have had (cause I couldn't get enough from East Troy) got a Lightning on Monday. Seems fair.
Yeah I know I'm whining.

Milwaukke Harley has a Black one on the floor right now. Along with about 4 Direbolts.

I like the new lightning a whole better than the lil bolt.

Hey I have given compliments before. I have noted in the past that I like the handling, ride & looks of my bike. Its just the unreliability & dealer apathy that I dont like.

Anyone know whether or not the 9S is affected by the sidestand issue, as on the 'Bolt?

The 9S that I sat on the other day, did have a different sidestand on it than the one on my 9R. The 9S stand points more toward the front of the bike when it is down.

Still waiting, and I thought the people at Buell liked me. I guess not.

Misato, get yourself down to The Swiss Tavern in the most weird city (that would be Tacoma) on Tuesday October 14th (Columbus Day) at 6:30 pm. About 6-8 very nice people (plus Bob & Debbie) (and Galen & Scot) (and Steve & Brandon) will be there and will be happy to tell you everything you might want to know about anything concerning Buell or anything else. Be there or be square.

The pictures of the XB9S do not due this bike any justice. I had the pleasure to see the XB9S at So. Cal. Buell meeting last night. This bike look's so awesome. I can't wait to demo ride this bike. Sound's like its going to be an expensive demo ride.
