E.B.R probably has a 50 amp fuse in a 20 amp circuit right now. Patience is the key,not instant gratification.........  | ||

Dan, I'm a big fan of your group's Bonneville activities, always jazzed to see another Buell record in the books. 17 records on the salt. Gotta' add that NRHS is much more than just a racing head service. Best wishes this year. | ||

I couldn't agree more. I've placed a few orders with Dan and have been very pleased each and every time. He's even spent quite a bit of time on the phone with me answering a plethora of technical questions. He knows his stuff, and he knows it well. | ||

Wow Anon, Talk about being condescending!! I already know all the rules for becoming a certified motorcycle dealer in Colorado and meet all the requirements. Please do not worry about my dealer application and I will be sure to tell the 2 very serious folks who have called me about buying a new Buell how you have treated me. BTW, I have ordered parts from Erik Buell Racing recently and was given dealer prices. Not sure why you are stating differently?

I'll go ahead and stick my nose in here... Dannyd, what did you expect in the way of a response when you immediately came off as if you wanted to cast aspersions and the shadow of doubt on Erik Buell Racing? Just saying. You're trying to call a very small company with just a few employees, and you expect them to have a 24/7 call center? In reality, I'm betting their phone rings a few times a day. They have big fish to fry, and you might not necessarily be one of them. (Message edited by pwnzor on July 07, 2011) | ||

I'm betting some of the early sales currently taking place are going to require some "case by case" dealings . . . a close friend of mine just decided to buy one yesterday and she's already indicated she's aware that . . as establishing a dealer network (which by the way can be tough and made tougher as a result of negative transfer of learning) is underway. . there'll be some situations that need to be dealt with as they come up. But . . then again . . I recall that (Dave Gess could speak at length) from in the very early days of Buell. Fortunately . . it's sounding like I'm going to be in good shape for an Erik Buell Racing dealer here in NYC. Cool . . . cause I already have an idea of which one I'm wanting.  | ||

Pwnzor, Please re-read my first post. It was only after I started getting attacked by a few that things went askew. But for anon to say some of the things he did at this point has just really made me think. I am not going to say anymore. I do know that it is doubtful I will be buying an 1190 this year as i was planning on doing. (Message edited by dannyd on July 07, 2011) | ||

Hey guys, let's step back a bit from the bickering on this. Everyone in this thread are true Buell fans. I am glad to hear of Dan's interest in the 1190 and the Rotax motor. Until I realized who he was my attitude was turning a bit sour towards him, but now I do understand. Let's not piss each other off over what is probably nothing to most of us. Let Dan and Erik Buell Racing sort things out. Dan, please try not to take anything too personal from this thread, you and Erik Buell Racing are good people, as are most of the folks here. I'm sure patience will be required by everyone dealing with Erik Buell Racing for the near future. Hopefully someone will get back with you to answer your questions. I can see good things happening from an NRHS 1190 program that would benefit all of us. | ||

All the records in the world can't cure d*ck headedness... I also hear it is contagious... just sayin...  | ||

Daniel Dunn rocks. Not sure where Union_man has contributed even a sliver portion to the Buelling community as Dan. Apparently though he an expert at identifying trolls. His handle says it all. No other explanation needed. | ||
| Moxnix |
Troll on, Dan. It broadens the boundaries of our vision. | ||
| Dannyd |
Wow, So I am not only a troll but also a d!ck for wanting to buy some Buell parts from Erik Buell Racing. And folks ask me why I am not a sponsor of Badweb and they wonder why HD shut down Buell. Makes me glad I decided to build a Harley Sportster for Bonneville this year instead of a Buell. See ya | ||

Wait, so you were banned here, and you decided to circumvent the ban and make a new account on here anyway? | ||

I just dropped by to post some legislative news in C3 and decided to browse around. Wow. Danny seems like a credible and valuable guy to have around. My first thought upon reading the Anon. post was that it was condescending and belittling as well. Shame. | ||
| Rasta_dog |
Great records and good luck with the Sportster, you self-absorbed douche. | ||

Interesting dynamic we see here.  >>> I am a staunch Buell supporter but lets face it they need to be able to sell bikes if they are to stay in business. "Let's face it; they need to be able to sell bikes if they are to stay in business"? Huh?  "Let's face it"? I'm unclear as to who one possibly might imagine believes otherwise. >>> at this time can anybody tell me where i can buy a new 1190? Serious parties may apply to pre-order one via the Erik Buell Racing form on their web site. If one is lucky enough to be among the first 100 serious applicants, someone at Erik Buell Racing will be in touch and will provide all the pertinent information as it becomes available. >>> And sorry but I would never send my credit card info to an unsecured e-mail address. That is just insane to even suggest that. Not so much. Credit card account owners are not liable for fraudulent purchases made on their credit card. So, while it may not be prudent standard practice to email CC info, it is in no way "insane".
>>> Wow Anon, Talk about being condescending!! >>> I already know all the rules for becoming a certified motorcycle dealer in Colorado and meet all the requirements. Please do not worry about my dealer application and I will be sure to tell the 2 very serious folks who have called me about buying a new Buell how you have treated me. Rather than that little indignant outburst, the more productive response would probably have been something akin to the following: Thanks Anon for your candid reply to my questions/concerns, please let me know whatever assurances and preparations on my part that you need to see so that you will feel confident awarding me an Erik Buell Racing dealership. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your trust. There is a LOT of truth in the statement that "Not sure having a cylinder head porting service (or even an engine performance shop) has you prepped to be a motorcycle dealer." The capital investment required to set up a serious motorcycle dealership is likely going to run well into the six figures, possibly seven figure. Anyone who doesn't already have a showroom, shop, motorcycle technical, parts, and sales staff, a significant motorcycle parts inventory system and the like is going to be ill-equipped to take on a dealership for Erik Buell Racing. Most likely Erik Buell Racing will be giving huge priority to existing motorcycle dealerships. Anyone who would have trouble garnering a Ducati or BMW or Aprilia dealership will have the same trouble warranting an Erik Buell Racing dealership. Erik Buell Racing will be looking for folks with a proven track record of motorcycle sportbike dealership experience. A small performance shop is a long way from that benchmark. Not saying a small performance shop couldn't get the job done, just that it would be a huge leap to do so. First step would likely be to submit a coherent business plan and dealership capitalization proposal for Erik's consideration. | ||

Vindictive indignation is probably the exact wrong response, especially in public. | ||
| Whatever |
Wait, so you were banned here, and you decided to circumvent the ban and make a new account on here anyway? Yeah, that was the d*ckheadedness I was refering to... and also the "Now I am going to kick sand around in your sandbox" attitude. You do not have to be mature or smart to be fast... or have any tact for that matter... PLEASE NOTE: MY personal comments are in no way associated with E_B_R, the extinct Buell Motorcycle Company or Harley Davidson Mo Co... just in case you are too thick to figure that one out too! | ||
| Moxnix |
See, our boundaries are broadening as I type. Should this be nipped in the bud? I've bought from Dan and plan on coming back to BadWeb. Therefore, I'll duct tape my fingers together to stop myself from adding anything more in this thread. | ||

<sigh> >>> So I am not only a troll but also a d!ck for wanting to buy some Buell parts from Erik Buell Racing. Not so much. More for the indignant, self-absorbed, vindictive outbursts, the blatant self-promotion, and repeated violations of our terms of use here. >>> And folks ask me why I am not a sponsor of Badweb BadWeB cannot accept sponsorship from you Dan, someone who has been banned four times under four different usernames for repeated blatant violations of our terms of use, and shows no signs whatsoever of changing his ways. We try to ensure that our sponsors meet certain minimum standards; you fail that test miserably, and are once again demonstrating so for all to see. >>> and they wonder why HD shut down Buell. What a bizarre vindictive comment to make, especially coming from a self-proclaimed Buell enthusiast. Way to win friends and influence people. | ||

Anons comments have cost him at least one sale of an 1190 this year for sure as I was definately serious about buying one and I had 2 other serious customers already inquiring with me. If you all believe that Buell has already sold all 100 bikes you really are drinking the koolaid. If Buell makes it 3 years I will be surprised with the way they are doing business. Thanks Blake for not taking my money. Glad you are doing well. Yes I can be a really arrogant prick sometimes but I can also back it up.

Dannyd, NRHS has always had a great reputation as far as I have known. Good for you on that and for your racing records. You're posts in this thread leave me confused as to what you even want from Erik Buell Racing at this point though. Do you want parts, a bike, or a dealership? Regardless, it might be worth cutting Erik Buell Racing just a slight amount of slack this week. They are looking at running their first bikes that is totally their brand this weekend. They have a lot riding on this and I have no doubt that they are spending all available time trying to ensure that nothing has been overlooked. The motorcycle world is watching them very closely this weekend. I'd like to wish you both the best in your racing endeavors. | ||

Anons comments have cost him at least one sale of an 1190 this year for sure as I was definately serious about buying one and I had 2 other serious customers already inquiring with me. Sorry, but I just don't see anything so bad that it should really weigh so heavily in the decision on an 1190. If these comments are going to stop you, I have doubts as to how serious you really were. Still, good luck to you in your racing programs. | ||

Wow this thread went right down the tubes  | ||
| Dannyd |
All I was asking for was if anybody knew why the phone was nor being answered so i could order some parts. then I started getting attacked by a few folks and then for anon to come with his condescending attitude just pushed me over the edge (I also got a very similar e-mail from Danny Bilansky at Erik Buell Racing) which has completely made me decide that I will not be purchasing an 1190 this year nor am I even interested in trying to become a dealer. Blake, You are absolutely correct in that there is a very good chance I could not qualify to be a dealer but for them to automatically write me off without even so much as a courtesy phone call just shows how out of touch a few of the employees at Erik Buell Racing are. I could do mid 6 figures without even needing to take out a loan so stop assuming things that you know nothing about. If you truly believe that folks need to beg for the "privilege" to be a buell dealer or be a customer then you are really out of touch with they state of the US economy right now. That is the kind of attitude that has closed the doors on many Harley dealerships across the US in the past few years. I expect the same kind of treatment from Erik Buell Racing as a potential customer as I give my customers. I treat my customers as if they are doing me a favor when they want to order. They are what will make me successful or not. Treating your customers in any other way is unacceptable in my book. I am not a person who gives multiple chances to someone trying to earn my business. Whether that be a parts vendor or a potential motorcycle sale. (Message edited by dannyd on July 07, 2011) |
