I searched the KV and found several dealers in Florida mentioned, one in Jacksonville the other in Naples. Both would be a rather expensive tow from here in Lakeland.

Lakeland HD doesn't meet the requiments in the subject line above!! :(

Orlando Harley Davidson Buell off of I-4 is excellent. I've been using them for 3 1/2 years. What is it that you're looking for? Sales or Service?

M2cylcone00,

Thanks for the reference. I was considering them but wasn't sure about their experience with Buells. They're about an hour away, that's a lot closer than Jax. or Naples!! I might even be able to trailer it myself instead of paying for towing.

I'm a new Buell owner, learning the ropes. At only 1600 miles, my bike is having major electrical problems. I just ASSumed that if a dealership sold Buells, they also had the capacity/staff to work on them.......Like I said, I'm learning the ropes!!

If it is under warranty, I'd take it to Orlando. Ask if Nick can work on it.

If it's not under warranty, then you might want to call Cycle-Rama in Pinellas Park. They do excellent work.

Take it to Orlando. Talk to Bob in sales, he'll make sure that you get treated right.

Ride to the edge!

Yes, I'm still under warrantee plus 4 years extended warrantee. I bought the bike new in July.

ALLLLLLLLRIGHT!!

I just spoke to Ron in the service department at Orlando HD. He's been more helpful in 5 minutes than my local shop has been in a week!! Now I'm getting somewhere, I just need to work out towing logistics.

Thanks again guys for the recommendations!

Hey Bubba, miss you too. I've been bulking up. Almost 160 lbs now. But if I put on more, I may think my M2 is losing power!

I've been cycling (bicycle) more than riding lately. Trying to get back into racing shape.

I've been trying to at least take a short trip up your way for a while now. Maybe I can get up there in the spring. You oughta come down this way during the winter. We'll ride down to the keys! I've got room for you if you come down.

Bubba,

You coming to Orl. for the dealers' mtg in January? If so watch the Orlando Stormfront section for info on a get together that we are planning with Daves.

I've bought and serviced my M2L '02 at OHD. They do really good work and although I had to convince them that my tank was under warrantee, they took care of it and did a good job.

For whats its worth.

James the Buell tech at Tampa HD has done all the major work my bike has needed. No complaints. He seems to genuinely like working on Buells. As far as anything else I have done with my bike I get big help from LaFayette. LaFayette runs the BRAG out of Lakeland HD. Very good and knowledgeable guy.

Ditto on OrlHD. They no longer have a stand alone Buell store but as Dave says Nick is the best Buell tech in the area. I had very strange electrical problems and Nick was the only person who stuck with me unit it was fixed. Even as I do my own projects I'll call or go see him for advice. Once, he took a part off a bike in storage so I could ride until the new part came in.
The top sales guys there too Eric and Bob are Buell enthusaists and Bob still has his S1W.
I've heard good things too about the Tampa BRAG group led by LaFayette.
Country I saw your bike at Steak&Shake a couple weeks ago but di not get to talk to you.

Hey Bubba,

I want to go down to the keys weekend, maybe a 3 or 4 day trip. Anytime, no particular schedule. Let me know when you're coming down.

Donn, I saw you up there as well. I was too busy talking to the original owner about getting the owners manual. Which reminds me I still gotta get it. Maybe next time. Email me and we can all meet up there again. (not this thursday though, I would be killed by my girlfriend)
