|
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
Anywhere on Scotland's north west coast - empty roads, great surfaces, stunning scenery. Particularly like the road from Invergarry to Skye - unbelievable scenery and great corners. Skye is splendid too.
|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
Different. Came back to bikes after years away, wanted something that was individual and not like the plastic Japanese offerings (they are GOOD though, but bland). Buells are not common and people speak to you about them. Didnt want to go over 100mph too often either so hyperperformance is not important, going round corners in style is much more important, as is the vibration and noise!
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Sort out the bad dealers and their attitudes. Buell's bikes are not the problem, any product will break, but the hassle of getting it fixed can really make or break the Buell ownership experience. Buell/HD's recall policy is admirable, but some of the dealers still have a lot to learn it would appear.
|
Life History/Philosophy: |
Have travelled widely, in Africa and Europe, also USA - bicycled (pedal bike!)across south-west from Texas to LA, motorcycled (Honda XL175 trail bike) 12,000 miles from LA through west into Canada and back to Texas (loved the TX Hill Country - helped friends build two houses there!). What's for you wont go past you...
