That was a lot of fun! I'm going to miss doing strange promotions like that. | ||
| Bomber |
I shudder to think of the promos you can run with your new bidness (Message edited by bomber on January 25, 2007) | ||
| Daves |
 you know me, already brainstorming them up! Look out archery world, here I come! | ||
| Daves |

| Bomber |
I'd be very pleased to do so ;-} | ||

What has Dave done for me? Everything that I had asked! What has Kandie done for everyone? Support Dave in his endevours. Dave, Kandie, remember if you ever get to the Phoenix area the Diet Pepsi's are on me, and yes, there is room in the inn. | ||

Dave, it's great thing to have so many friends. About the only way I can equate this to you, and I have a feeling that a grand majority of us here will agree, that when we first heard the news that you were leaving, it felt like we lost something great. Not just a parts guy or whatnot. Not that at all. The shock of it was just like when you hear that a close family member has died. It was just like that. The feeling was, "oh my god. Are you serious?" Many of us have said those words before and it never turned out great. So, the shock Dave, was just like that. Now, as we all have time to digest this and process it, we sit and think and reflect. Being in the Marines, we are always having to say goodbye to people that are either getting out or retiring or whatnot, and you never know if you're gonna see them again, and every time you pass by a certain street or take a certain ride or hear a song or see a show, you remember something funny about them and wonder just what they're up to and how you'd like to just peek in on em once in a while. This is going to be one of those times for a lot of people on here and in WI, and a lot of other areas. Looking back on it, looking on your life and knowing who your friends were 15 years ago and looking on your life now, it's probably such a stark contrast at who you probably were then. Everything happens for a reason, I suppose, Dave. You've probably helped or touched more people in a way that you will probably never really know, and it's probably best that way, sometimes. But, I think that a majority want to let you know just how much you are gonna be and are already missed. Take Care, Dave Mark Brown | ||

He introduced fried okra to me. | ||
| Daves |

| Typeone |

| Daves |

Daves is just a swell guy to deal with. Good luck and thanks for all the help.  | ||

I never bought anything from Appleton, or had the opportunity (yet!) to meet Dave, but he's somehow "done something for me" despite that. A while back, I'd come home from a long day of dealing with contrary associates and unappreciative clients, and see what's new on the Buell world - There was Dave & Kandie's Great Canine Rescue Adventure! Not only an interesting read, but heartwarming and re-kindling of those hope-for-our-fellow-man feelings! Life was good again! Other times I'd read about some fellow B-Webber's travails with his bike and other dealers, unavailable parts, whatever - then Dave chimes in with a "call me, I got it, 10% off!" and all's well! Dave was often the only logical, level headed and calming voice on the middle of the occasional tirade wars that inevitably flare on B-Web. I like having him "around"! Kandie Too! I don't imagine he'll be all that gone - I think I saw that there's still a Buell in their family! AL ps- Dave & Kandie - Best of Luck with your new venture! | ||

I haven't bought much from Daves, save for a hat IIRC. But, during his "sport bike days" shindig last year, he had a CityX outside. The wife had ridden a 12S, and a 12SCG and came away from both those rides, uncomfortable, and unimpressed(mostly due to the Dunlops). So Dave swapped the CityX seat with a standard S seat, and had Dale lead her. She came back with the biggest "Buell Grin", and was sold. The wife also surprised the heck out of Dale by staying right behind him, and not missing a beat  While we didn't buy a CityX from Daves(Which I'm pretty sure he knew we were going to buy one from Hals, seeing me being their BRAG director and all), she did get one. Definitely helped convince the wife she needed a CityX with a single demo ride The wife and I thank you Daves! | ||

I have to say all the best customer service a fellow bueller could want!! I do have to say, having the 2004 XB12S (brand spanking new at the time)delivered to your door step and signing the paperwork at the dinning room table was the best thing and the most memorable. Not only that, when I traded in my blast and you searched and searched because I wanted an XB9S so bad, you found me one NEW!! Oh and keeping secrets on ordering parts from the other half when I already ordered them and keeping my secret that they were already purchased!! LOL I remember you doing that a few times for me and playing it off soooo well!! You go way above and beyond, those things that you have done will never be forgotten. | ||

I didn't buy my bike from Dave all though I had already taken steps to buy it from him. Dave supported my decision to buy it locally and helped me with the process. It takes a special sales person to help give a sale to another dealership. When I was having mechanical problems Dave was there to anwser my questions and put my mind to ease. Not to mention he got me some washers in two days that would have taken two weeks from the local dealer!!!!!! Dave also supplied a T-shirt (the wrong one at first) in two days that would have taken 6 months from the local dealer. Dave has gone out of his way on so many times to make things right or sell a .30cent washer to make some one happy you cant count. I don't see why you can't sell Buells next to your Bows????? I am going to be in the market for a bow before next season! I have family in Des Moines, how far out of the way is it to come see you? Best of luck! You will be sucessful guarentee! Hard Corps | ||
| Daves |
Hardcorp, I am about 125 miles NE of Des Moines Just PM me when your headed my way. I'll gladly hook you up with a great bow. I would love to have a Buell dealership. That isn't going to happen. HD still insists that you be a HD dealer to be a Buell dealer. If I had the money to buy a HD dealership I wouldn't have to go to work at all. Kandie and I could both retire and ride all the time(except during hunting season) It just isn't in the cards for a normal,everyday person anymore to become a HD dealer.You have to be rich already to even be considered. Therefore I also will never be able to open a Buell dealership. It's too bad, for me and them. That is why I have decided with the archery business. It is a passion for me(like Buell), you don't have to be a millionaire to get started, you don't have a company telling you to build a Taj Mahal of a building and having to approve every shelf,rack and fixture in your business. In the archery business, you can do things your own way without a "Big brother" watching your every move. I tend to do much better when allowed to do my own thing, as strange as some of those things seem to some. I am just a simple small town boy from Iowa. I have no need or desire to be a cabillionaire. I just want to do my thing, take care of my customers/friends(to me it's the same thing) and make a living. i don't need a 15 bedroom house, 45 employees, or any of that. I am lucky, for the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of working for a man much like me. Terry is a good man. Success has not changed him. I respect him. When the time is right and money allows I will be buying my Buell from him. | ||

The best thing DaveS has done for me (and many others) is simply being available to work with us. DaveS never treats your problem like it is a low priority, even if it's just a couple of farkles that you wanted to order. Thanks DaveS. I hope that your new business works well for you. You and Kandie deserve to re-laim your lives from the commute and all of us nuts that got used to you always being available to look up parts and prices for us, even when you were supposed to be on vacation. | ||
| Daves |
The best thing all of you did for me over the years? To become my friends. | ||

Dave, I will need about a dozen carbon fiber arrows with target tips and orange feathers fletched. The pull is 27 1/2 inches. I can wait till your open of course. | ||
| Daves |
what weight field tips do you shoot I also need to know what poundage you are pulling. Type of bow and cam system I want to sell you arrows with the correct spine strength so they fly good for you. Do you want all 3 fletchings to be orange or do you want 2 orange and 1 white, or other color as the •••• feather? Interested in having custom wraps on them? | ||

He got me a part that did not exist any more. Not only did he find the part. He did not even charge me for it. Just had to pay for shipping. Daves,  | ||
