I'm driving my truck to Mesa for the Christmas break. I'm taking the XB12XT. My bike is still under warranty but if I have problems what are the best Buell shops in the Mesa area? I'll be riding some of the local areas like Globe, Tortilla Flats, etc, Any other good areas? Also, if any of you want to meet up for a ride let me know. | ||

There are no good dealerships near Mesa. Chandler HD/Buell is on that side of town, but they suck, and their service department will screw your bike up. Hacienda up in Snottsdale is OK, and Arrowhead over in Peoria is also OK. I think all three Buell stealerships are getting out of the Buell business since none of them were offering the rebates. Check out the Arizona thread in the Storm Fronts. There are Buell riders in town, but it would seem that I'm the only one that actually goes out and rides.  As far as rides go, a good day ride is to ride up to Globe, through the Salt River canyon to Show low for lunch, then back down 260 to Payson, and then 87 down to Mesa. It's about an 8 hour day ride, and over 200 miles but well worth it. Another good ride is out on the west side, out through Wickenburg, up 89 to Prescott. You go over Yarnell pass, and through the Spars. (The Spars are about 15 miles of Buell heaven). Enjoy yourself! | ||

If you can take your bike to Arrowhead Harley in Peoria(about 35-40 minutes west of of mesa) and see Andrew. Andrew knows a lot about Buell's, he builds and races them. He has taking good care of my buddy who has a xb12x. Andrew doesn't do the work usually (he is the service writer)but he will make sure your bike is done right. | ||

Thanks Jonny. I also posted this on the Arizona thread. | ||

I agree with the above, Chandler is ok for parts (If you can get them to help) but for ANYTHING else go to Arrowhead, of course if you just need something tightened or what ever, you can come by my place in East Mesa! | ||

December is our off time...and we winter in AZ. So the only show we have is on New Year's Eve in Surprise. It starts at 7pm. Tickets are only $10 each and a family 4 pack is $30. Here is a video of the finale of the show....my wife's Full View Water Torture Cell. This video is from the TV show, Masters of Illusion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVHPHja3wn4 Kevin |
