Don't you just love it when someone with nothing positive to say about anyone or anything gets on a thread and just flames away for the hell of it?

Zworld, YOU, sir, have a "man card" you got from a CrackerJack box! Guess it bolstered your ego to post such a pathetic rant, but the rest of us don't need to hear it.

 

Kudos, pmang, for your post here. Well written and points out some glaring problems with this flamer.

Don't bother offering a buy this guy a "virtual beer' though. From the anti-social tone and borderline illiteracy of zworld's post, he lacks the class, intellect or basic social grace to accept your offer.

It appears someone left the lid to the toolbox open.

 

Jim, you're (your, ur) totally invited for the beer as well. I did notice that (so did another poster) and I left it up so I wouldn't be a hypocrite.... I'm entering these posts on an iPhone with an auto correct mind of it's own! Way too hard to go back and edit! I really don't care about internet grammar.... Was just looking for some simple ammo to fire back!

 

No problem Z.... I agree... No Internet grammer police... I was just looking for something quick to throw back at ur first post! I routinely appologize for my many typos after I post... For some reason, can't edit when doing this from a phone....

Btw, please link any place you see these OEM led lights online at a 20%+ discount... I looked and couldn't find them. Yes, they are expensive but everyone here who had them has stated that it's one of the best mods they've done and won't ever go back to traditional lights.... Peace... Ride safe....

 

The first H-D dealer where I bought my first H-D (1975) is long gone.

I've been dealing with the same H-D dealer since 1991.
When Harley's were hard to get and some dealers were marking their prices up to "what the market would bear", these guys had a "lottery" and the first winners were entitled to the first bikes that came in.

THe dealer closest to me was the one who marked their prices up and the one I go to is much farther away but I'll still go to them just as a matter of principal.
This is a family owned business and the service guys have always treated me great so when I get ready for a new bike I know where I will be going.

 

Definitely what you did, however, I would certainly go back to the first dealer and give them the lowdown. Let them know that you have spent your last dollar at their establishment. Profit isn't a dirty word, but greed is.

 

Tkunk, you hit the nail on the head! I don't begrudge a dealer an honest profit, but there needs to be a balance struck between profit and doing right by the customer. Too bad so many dealers don't realize that. Is it any wonder why a lot of HD shops get a bad rap?
