Yesterday afternoon Budc called me at work and asked if I'd mind coming by Hals at 2:15 to be interviewed by the local FOX affiliate. So our 'lil part of our Buell ride group was interviewed.

I think they put a VERY good positive spin on an otherwise sad situation.

Congrats, guys!

Liked the first one other then the end. There is no "graduating" to HD!

Oh, and i think Bob needs a Uly!!

Well put, Steve! H-D is like Buick, trying to understand how to sell sports cars.

Anyone in the area up for the proposed 26 Oct ride to the factory?

"Graduate to a Harley"...wtf...that's like going from being able to walk to being bed-ridden.

Nice!
That woman speaking the corporate kool-aid line looked a little awkward and silly. They are so frigg*ng clueless and pathetic...

"why don't they move up to a Harley?" - the question. There are some fundamental problems with that phrase. There's an assumption that "moving-UP" is a stepping stone to something more desirable - the true final destination. So why aren't Buell riders moving up? It's actually opposite, they don't want to step down! Good luck HD and their farm equipment division that's losing market share while others are gaining.

I owned a harley before my buell, I definately don't feel like I stepped down.
Wish I had the money I wasted on the harley to buy TWO more buells.

Stepping down....
A couple of weeks ago a friend was visiting from Kansas, we went for a two day ride, me on the Uly, my buddy on my Sportster. On the second day we changed up bikes for a little while. Though it had a familiar feel, I am so ready to sell off the Sportster. It was cool for the few hours I was on it, but I could sadly tell, the love affair was over with the Sportster. It just was not the same anymore.

They will never understand, but that is allright.

I went from an 85 sporty to an 05 XBR. There is no "step down" in that equation.
