	I contacted dealer for information on the recall and recieved no info relating to being able to safely continue to operate (it been over a month since the recall) the motorcycle or stop riding it, the dealer response was that they had the same info i was sent ref. the recall and they had no idea of the safety factor. they made no attempt at that time to contact the manufacturer for further info. i tried 4 times to contact the manufacturer via phone without result; i even went so far as to let them pick a time to call me back (i left a message via voice mail for them on their cust.service line) so i wouldn't have to wait at home which i did for 3 hours one day for a call back. all i wish is info on whether or not it's safe to ride and when the product will be repaired-it's already been 1 1/2 months-i think it reasonable to recieve this info-could you please help answer these questions? buell has no e-mail-only a toll line.
