Ok guys, we have a consignment of brand new 2008 1125Rs that we have been able to pick up. We hope to not only offer great bikes at good prices but provide you with a unique experience, so here are the details. -Since we live in Tennessee (home of some of the greatest roads around), we want to give you an opportunity to "break in" your bike properly. We will have you fly in in the morning and take delivery of your bike. We'll ride either to east Tennessee to ride Deal's Gap and the Cherohala Skyway or we will head down to Suches, GA (visit the legendary Two Wheels Only) and Helen. This should give us a nice 600 mile round trip. Deal's Gap .jpg) MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO Cherohala Skyway  -84.022064&spn=0.364181,0.561676&z=10&iwloc=A,Such es, GA  -We'll treat you to dinner that evening. -We'll give you $100 allowance for lodging. -We'll include your first service so that you have fresh fluids for your trip home. -We'll clean yesterday's bugs off your bike -We'll ship home any luggage or gear you don't need. -We'll provide you with $100 allowance for air travel and pick you up at the airport. -You'll get a chance to ride with me, Tom, and possibly Chadhargis and Barker (if I can get those knuckleheads to get their poop in a group in time). -If you would rather skip the ride and hang out time (I can't imagine why anyone would, but your choice. ), we'll allow you to apply $400 toward a discount in price or in gear (can you say side fairings?). MSRP is over $12,000. We are offering them for $8,900. We will also work deals on 2009 and 2010 models as well as models other than the 1125R Please give Tom, Dave, and me the opportunity to earn your business and give you a truly unique riding experience.

You'll get a chance to ride with me, Tom, and possibly Chadhargis and Barker (if I can get those knuckleheads to get their poop in a group in time). Fat, I gotta ask, you planning on riding biotch with the new owner, or did you get a new scoot? | ||

I work at a dealership with dozens of bikes. Finding a steed to give me the opportunity to introduce someone to my back yard and send them on the way with the bike of their dreams is not a problem. Working to make my own bike happen. Buy lots of bikes through our Fly and Ride deal, and it will happen much faster.  You guys may not be ready to make a deal, but surely someone you know is interested. | ||

just jazzing ya, It looks like a great deal, and if my employment situation was better I'd be all over it. This may turn out to be an even better deal if it's still running around Buelltoberfest. Give a new owner a chance to meet most of us too....then again, that may be a bad idea...... | ||

Nice offer FB. If I wasn't several thousand miles away, it'd be real tempting...  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
You might get wet on the ride home. | ||
| Daves |
Great idea FB  Hope it is a huge success for you | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Seems someone else had a pretty kick ass idea like this. Thanks for forging the path. | ||

I remember hearing of a guy that used to do goofy promotions like this. Or maybe the promotions were fine, the guy doing them was goofy? Ah, the good ole days. Let me know if I can offer any help/advise. | ||

Did I post to this thread earlier, or am I losing my mind? | ||
| Daves |
Joe, that ship sailed a long time ago  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Let me know if I can offer any help/advise. Will do! Did I post to this thread earlier, or am I losing my mind? You may be losing your mind, but I believe you DID post to this thread previously. Unfortunately during the last update we lost posts from Saturday morning until it came back on line this afternoon. | ||

FB, I am not going to be able to buy a new Buell any time soon, can you just send me the $200 and let me stay home? | ||
| Tnxbrider |
I can answer that for you.  | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Sorry Cochise. The boss has spoken. | ||

I remember hearing of a guy that used to do goofy promotions like this. Yeah, I remember him. I designed a goofy t-shirt or two for him   I still have and wear mine. The logo is printed just above the front pocket. On the back is the ol silhouette XB9S in the lean with "I got mine from Dave at Buell of Appleton Wisconsin" It's been a while ain't it Dave! | ||

 I now wait in my cave for the impeding lawsuit | ||

I didn't get the memo, did Fatty get a job? If so, congrats! Are you now in Buell sales? Don't you do insurance as well? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Still do insurance. HD/Buell sales is my part time "fun" job. I'm multi-tasking. | ||

this a cool deal but I do not want to feel global warming. | ||
| Buellinachinashop |
Who are you working for Fatty? | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Bumpus Buell/HD. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
this a cool deal but I do not want to feel global warming. Ummmm. What? | ||
| Hexangler |
I think he meant: feed. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
I think he was referencing the "I feel global warming when I fly" thread. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
Yes it was a joke referring to that post sorry I thought more people would laugh | ||

FB If you insist on using(stealing) my idea and have shirts made I think that Glitch and I should at least get a shirt out of the deal. I wear a large I just wish I had the roads you have when I was doing this type of promo. Of course, I had the factory and lunch with Erik and Flick at Gus' drive in to make up for it. No offense to Erik or Flick but i would've rather had the roads! I'm thinking I could have sold a couple Buells around there too. How many people you got signed up so far. To those of you that are thinking about it. DO IT! These fly and ride deals are a blast and I have no doubt FB will make it a bike purchase you will NEVER forget. That's what sales is all about. | ||

I can't hold a candle to Daves efforts, but I'll try. I like the T-Shirt idea, but I'm thinking about something else. This is our first effort. Once we have closed a few deals and worked out the bugs, I hope to have a deal everyone who utilizes it will appreciate and enjoy. One of the things I have appreciated most is the fact that Tom is willing to experiment. We've sold t-shirt and now motorcycles over the internet. I appreciate that the words I haven't EVER heard come out of Tom's mouth are "we've never done it that way before". I have heard him say "look for every opportunity to create a "yes"". Repeatedly. | ||
