Hello and thank you for calling. After you input your valid credit card information press 1 to get Deluxed
press 2 for a double, Deluxed and your choice of local dealer
press 3 to receive the wrong parts you will have to return
press 4 for the mechanical misdiagnosis of your choice

Dan, I believe you are a genius. Wish you could share in the profits but since you did it as a public service....

I can't believe no one thought of calling in with phony stranded rider calls, this whole thread started with a broke down bike, does this dealer NOT have a recovery truck that comes out and gets you

he has 3 dealerships - they don' have a service truck to pick up bikers that are stranded

If they do, I would think a few phony calls and wasted time would cost him a few bucks

not enough to make it hurt, by all accounts this guy is rolling it in and could care less about all of us out of state folks that would never spend I dime in his dealerships even IF this thread didn't exist
That would amount to lowering oneself to the level that this thread is about. I for one won't wallow in the same cesspool as the dealer in question.

To speak directly to Chuck, insert phone into rectum, wait indefinitely.

Not one of the basic services. There is a surcharge for that item.

I can say Deluxe Casper doesn't have a service truck. I called and asked while standing on the shoulder 60 miles from Chuck.

"I've mentioned it during the regular service visits but my complaints fell on deaf ears. Not at Deluxe Harley Davidson of Gillette. Two different mechanics came out to ask diagnostic questions before it was determined that I had a bad lifter, while I waited, they replaced all four. The beast and I were back on the road to make another 130 miles by nightfall".

But if it makes everyone think they're actually doing something to drastically hurt the business .....Flame on.
Well it may not run Deluxe out of business, but is surely saving a lot of hdforums members from being ripped off

Yup...that's the idea. Chuck IS loosing some business from members. Maybe not today, but over the long run.
