Often the I see this I ask- “Do you actually suppose that is truthful”? I additionally often see this from a “company” owned store. If a dealership nonetheless has an onsite proprietor, issues appear to be extra “pleasant”.

Oh boy, this will get me going!

This was from a on website proprietor, and he was worse than the staff. It was the final bike I purchased from him and he was a penny pinching nut.

He may very well be your finest good friend, or your worst enemy based mostly on how a lot cash you spent there. I figured it out shortly after I purchased my first HD there. I had associates that purchased into the Harley Davidson cool-aid and spent tons of cash at that vendor and so they had been in his circle of “associates”. Folks did not see they had been being suckered in by him. So long as you spent tons of cash with him, he was your finest buddy. Cease spending cash with him and also you did not exist.

I knew a pair that bough all their gear, all of the service work, all new bikes from this vendor. They purchased a brand new SE Electra Glide each two years. $40,000 or extra in later years. They traded twice in a single 12 months as a result of when the brand new mannequin 12 months got here out they only needed to have a brand new bike due to the brand new colour paint. One would suppose that they had a crap load of cash however I do know of their monetary scenario and I cannot imagine they spend cash like that. put it this fashion, in the present day they’re dwelling off SS and his union pension. They spent all their 401K on bikes over time. I might go on to clarify, however that will be a mini novel. they had been in love with the man and he was with them just because they spent tons of cash there.

After that first bike buy I purchased my second motorbike from one other vendor and saved $2,000. I gave him an opportunity to decrease his worth and he refused. When when he came upon I purchased elsewhere he was pissed as a result of I did not give him a second likelihood to make the deal. I reminded him he informed me that the provide he made was completely the perfect deal he might make. I wasn’t precisely in his circle earlier than, and positively wasn’t after! The factor that killed me is the man retired a multi millionaire, like that one bike deal would have bankrupted him. He was working the general public to realize extra enterprise for himself, plain and easy. It obtained extra apparent the farther away one obtained from him. All the pieces he did was to promote extra bikes and crap from his dealership. I bumped into him just a few months in the past and stated howdy as I walked by. He simply glared at me!

I came upon from those that labored for him that he had household on the payroll and so they by no means set foot within the place. He had grand kids getting paid for 40 hours every week, years after years getting common paychecks and so they by no means labored there. Then the those that labored there couldn’t get a elevate as a result of “Cash was tight!” whereas he was padding his household’s pockets. Loopy stuff!
