Author Message   Daves Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 05:00 pm:        Thought this deserved it's own thread. Buell has a new guy at the helm! Jon Flickinger has been named President and COO of Buell as of Aug 11th 2004. John Hevey has been moved to VP of Strategic planning and new business development. Thanks to John for 4 years of doing a great job at Buell and Congrats to Jon on his new position and I'm sure we have great things to come! (hmmm, maybe if my name was John or Jon I could get a job there!) Ride to the edge!   Bomber Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 05:03 pm:        well, the outgoing guy sure did a great job getting the XB to market (with help, I"m sure) . . . . . good luck to the new guy, he's got a tough act to follow I've tried a number of times, I'm hear to tell ya Daves, a J first name carries little wieght! ;-}   Anonymous Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 05:04 pm:        Jon Flickinger was most recently VP of sales in North America for Harley-Davidson, and presided of the greatest growth in sales ever recorded. Still ready to believe "H-D is about to give up on Buell" as we have heard? Let's see, record sales year for Buell, top-level sales VP assigned to Presidency...looks pretty promising to me!   Kelly Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 05:38 pm:        Blah, blah. Build a bike that fits real people. Then back it up with a nationwide chain of dealers that support it. The Waterloo's, Modesto's, Appleton's and Tilley's are great, but they are not the norm.   Cj_xb Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 05:44 pm:        Congrats Jon and John !!! a J first name carries little wieght A J second name carries even less !! CJ   Glitch Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 06:13 pm:        Another FNG .... Congrats to John and Jon!   Tripper Posted on Friday, September 03, 2004 - 09:29 pm:        Hey Anony. You think he needs any help in sales, support, general Buell enthusiastic help? I could use a career that I can get excited about.   Crip2nite Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2004 - 07:01 am:        Now why don't they consider opening up a couple of Buell Shops and break away from the H-D Buell "arrangement"?   Court Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2004 - 07:19 am:        Jon Flickenger is an "old timer" who knows the HD system and how to make things work. He will be a tremendous asset to Buell. Congrats to Buell and Jon. Thanks to John Heavey. I never knew him well, but heard good things. Court
