Author Message   Johnnyvince Posted on Thursday, January 08, 2009 - 01:55 pm:        Patch info: I found a place that will make 50 3" dia. patches from our art work for about $2.75 to $3.25 each (includes set up & delivery). We can get smaller quantities but the price goes up. I don't think we'll find anything less expensive than that, and I'm happy with the quality they show on their site. John   Pitcrew831 Posted on Thursday, January 08, 2009 - 03:41 pm:        Hi Guys, I just wanted to say "Hi". I think of you guys all the time especially on meeting night.

Kurtis   Wrong36 Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 11:55 am:        hi all, after talking with john about Greg's patch, we've made a few changes... have a look:   Hangontight Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 12:35 pm:        I hope I'm not jacking this thread, but I have a quick question; I just bought my 1st Buell from Wild Fire H-D last week...had a good experience w/ them. I've read many posts on this forum about Harley dealers not being thrilled about servicing Buells. Is there a good dealer to go to for Buells (One who actually cares about them even though they're not a big twin) in the Chicago area? Anyone had luck with Wild Fire or Zylstra servicing their Buell?   Wrong36 Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 04:45 pm:        nope this thread is for everyone in the chicago area, and for everything buell related... i've always had my buell serviced at IL Harley, and am very satisfied. check them out! we also have our monthly club meetings there, c'mon out!   Sams Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 05:00 pm:        Hangontight, We've been a Buell dealer here for Eric since day 1. We've got the largest in-stock inventory of Buell parts and access that you'll find anywhere in the Tri-State area. I could go on but I'd rather let our customers speak for us. Sam S. Illinois H-D/Buell 1301 S. Harlem Ave. Berwyn, IL. 60402 708 788 1300 http://www.ilharley.com Sam@ilharley.com   M2epyonpilot Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 05:52 pm:        Hangontight, Please look at Illinois Harley in Berwyn for all your Buell service needs. My bike has always been serviced there where there is exceptional service. Also, please stop on by one of our club meetings the first Thursday of every month. We look forward to seeing you.   Hangontight Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 07:00 pm:        Ok then, Illinois Harley it is! A bit of a drive but probably worth it! Thanks guys   4cammer Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 04:25 pm:        Hangontight - I too bought my Buell from wildfire and wish that I had purchased it from Sam @ Illinois HD/Buell. From what I have experienced, Buell is an afterthought for the people at wildfire and they have no idea or desire to cater to those that buy them there. Service in mostly non-existant, they boogered both of my wheels, rarely have parts in stock and have told me outright lies while my bike was in for service/warranty. I gave them three chances and that is it for me. I also gave them the opportunity to make good the issues I had with them and they did not seem to care. Hate to call them out on this board, but I call it like I see it. I have yet to have service dealings w/Zylstra, but they do have some fellas there that are at least enthusiastic in regards to the Buell brand.   Tdman77 Posted on Monday, January 19, 2009 - 01:58 am:        I have been dealing with Kegels in Rockford for all my Buell needs. The owners brother races for Buell and is incharge of their service department. I just bought a 99 X1 from one of the brothers there (Joe Kegel). So far it seems to be the best place to get your buell serviced.   Oldebuellrydr Posted on Monday, January 19, 2009 - 11:36 am:        Hang On Tight, Welcome to the forum and of course all enthusiast questions are welcomed and encouraged. IL HD has been a shining example of what a "family HD" dealership should be. I have purchased my first and thus far only new bike from them and other than maintenance I had to have done while on the road, IL HD has been the ONLY place that has serviced my S3T regardless of it's needs or mishaps that have occurred in the 10 years of ownership. Each experience has been well worth the trip and it is so great to deal with folks who really care about your ride and your experience. Hope to see you the first Thursday of every month for our Windy City Club enthusiast meeting. Keith K.   Rocketsprink Posted on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 04:39 pm:        Any news on patches. I really would like to get a few for the race suit and what not.   Wrong36 Posted on Friday, January 30, 2009 - 12:31 am:        patches are in progress, thanks to john we have a production company working on them. should have them ready for the March WCC meeting!!! we'll discuss pricing, quantity, distribution, etc at the february meeting.   Pitcrew831 Posted on Monday, February 02, 2009 - 07:22 pm:        I am thinking of coming to the meeting on Thurs. and becoming a member of the club, if that would be ok with you guys. This way I will get to see you once and awhile   Sams Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 11:39 am:        Dana, That would be awesome! Looking forward to seeing you then. Sam   Wrong36 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 12:13 pm:        dana, you are more than welcome to any/all of our events!! will be great to see you!! >tim   Pitcrew831 Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 05:11 pm:        great! can't wait to see you guys. Where in the dealership is the meeting? Dana   M2epyonpilot Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 08:04 pm:        All, <As many of you know know meeting Thursday night at Illinois Harley. Hope to see everyone there! Remember 2009 club memberships and dues are "due".

Kurtis}   Oldebuellrydr Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - 01:06 pm:        Dana, Our meetings are held on the Southside of the parking lot, in Buell/Eagle Rider portion of IL H/D. We would enjoy having another female club member and of course bring another to help enrollment!   Lastcyclone Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - 03:31 pm:        As you can see Dana, you will be welcomed warmly. I'm on nite patrol this week fellas (and now lady), so I'm out for tomorrow. Please keep us up on what is going on. Thanks.   Pitcrew831 Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - 05:05 pm:        That is too bad you won't be there. I thought we could finally stop phone tag and catch up. I hope to talk to you soon.

So I didn't know if we need to order them now? I really want to go again. I would be happy to handle it if you want me too. Just let me know. We might want to book the hotel now too so we don't have another "adventure" in the hotel dept.
