I used the Harley dealer as a hands on ebay catalog. I find something I like at the dealer..I can see it, touch it, check fitment...then I run home and bid on it after I eat my free hot dog.

I stopped going to the dealership after I realized it was a store.

I usually never have enough money on me to buy anything so I got out empty handed,I did go in pricing the bikes recently but it would cost me too much to upgrade so I did not take one home with me.

I only go to the dealer when they are having some event like a band and bbq. Then I might shop at the clearence table, but I refuse to pay retail when you can get the same stuff online or used for half the price

Maybe we'll have to adapt that to the chrome madness? Or, is that "Chrome's Disease?"
Or perhaps you are Chromosexual

Enjoy your Harleyitis while you can. ..........It seems after a few years (or months) in some cases most Harley owners turn into Grumpy Old Tight Wad Penny Pinchers. I'm pretty sure that is not too a plesent of thing to be.

You think you spend a lot of money visiting the Harley dealer? Try working there!

the only times i set foot in a dealership are when i need (not want) a part or service. so i guess technically yes, i always buy something when im there. but typically it's not by choice. online is most often much cheaper, and i rarely need something immediately.
