It didn't ask about anything Buell but i included Buell in my short to the point answers.

They probaly won't even continue reading mine when they see the word Buell............

Buell was included when they ask "What brand of motorcycle other than Harley Davidson do you own".

Yep I got it and kind of slammed them.

I told them they were still trying to promote the Sportster as a biginers/womans bike and if I rode it for less than a year I could trade it in on a REAL Harley even though the Sportster is the fastest (other than V-Rod) and best handling bike they make . Told them their Promotion was an epic failure, and then asked why the were promoting the worlds #1 motorcycle brand anyway, and that they needed to take more time promoting Buell. Complete waste of time and money IMHO. Why would I buy a bike to have it for less than a year?

I answered the question why I wouldn't buy one even with the promotion by telling them that I already owned the best bike an 08 XB12R firebolt. I told them it was sold in Harley dealerships usualy found in a dark corner of the store by unknowledgeable salesmen, and if they realy wanted to promote something then they needed to take a look at Buell.

I told them to use the Blast motor in a smaller and lighter Harley model.

Like that will ever happen...

I answered it.
I hit them pretty hard regarding their marketing and business model.
Told them I was very weary of black and chrome and the whole "lifestyle" BS.
I said they need to emphasize riding, not posing and bar hopping. I also said I was tired of the same old American cruiser thing. They all look the same.
Also said that I prefer a bike thaT handles well, has decent power. No HD qualify.
Lots more but that was the general drift..

Also mentioned the need to drop the tough guy marketing, and mentioned the folley of having the same folks that do HD marketing doing Buell.

I filled mine out yesterday just before I left work.

I basically slammed them also. Stated I didn't understand why anyone would purchase a Sporster when a Buell did everything better. And, I didn't understand why they thought I would be interested in buying a Harley, after dealing with some Harley dealers with my Buell's!

I guess the Harley gods got me though...

Walked out to the 9R, pulled in the clutch and the cable broke!

I got it.

I told them that I didn't much like small bore Hogs, because the Buell was better in every way: faster, lighter, better handling and better looking.

I also reminded them that their service sucks big time.

I always like to help out, but of course, my brothers here know that already.

Am I right?

They gave me a certificate for a luncheon at Willie G's house. I'm gonna throw a bag of dog poo on the steps, push the door bell and wait for him to answer.."WHO THE HELL ARE YOU??"

I'm gonna answer..."Were no strangers to love ..You know the rules and so do i
A full commitments what Im thinking of
You wouldnt get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand

* never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Weve know each other for so long
Your hearts been aching
But youre too shy to say it
Inside we both know whats been going on
We know the game and were gonna play it

And if you ask me how Im feeling
Dont tell me youre too blind to see

(* repeat)

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how Im feeling
Gotta make you understand"

We'll see how this goes.

I asked them why I had to pay $6 for the privilege of making a DirectPay payment, when that is completely automated, vs. the expense of someone opening my envelope and processing my check. I also asked why my first statement didn't show up in the mail until after my first payment was five days past due. (After speaking with the woman at H-D Finance collections, she says that happens a LOT. WTF?!?)

Didn't have the heart to tell them my next bike would probably be a Triumph.

Yeah I took it and slammed them too. I said I'm not much of a cruiser guy so why should I care?

The last question with a text box I used for a proper pro-Buell rant.
