Good morning all. I just moved to Greenville, SC and the Buell isn't working. I need to take it in for service but the nearest place i can find is 80 miles away and i have no way to the it there. UHaul wont rent me a trailer because of an ancient policy of not renting to soft top jeeps! I am screwed. A moving van would cost me $100 plus gas and if i have to leave it at the dealer i will have to do the same trip again next weekend when its fixed! Any chance anyone in the Greenville area can point me to a closer Buell shop, or are there any trailers out there i could borrow?

Thanks,
Matt

Try posting in the SC Buell Riders forum:

I believe we have at least a couple of Badwebbers near you that may be able to help.

Matt, there used to be a Buell dealership in Anderson, but they stopped selling and working on Buells in early '07. I have a really crummy little trailer if you don't have luck figuring something else out, let me know. I'm in the Easley/Powdersville area.

Matt, I live in Greer and do all of my own maintenance, yes this means changing fork oil as well. Your bike just won't start or what?

if you were to get it fixed, you could just hitch the 80 miles and ride the bike home
