DUH HD parts guy
#11
But, I do hope you go to Ronnie's HD website and use their parts finder. They normally give ten percent discount on it, but...many dealerships do the same for their anointed customers! My parts folks...with the exception of the humorless manager...love seeing me come in cuz I generally have my **** tight, and I get what they go thru, since I've been behind a parts counter too...
Anyway, my friend, a thousand pardons for taking your original post the wrong way. You ride safe on your trip...

God forbid that in this day and age you make someone feel uncomfortable, by razing them when they make a mistake....!! Sheeesh.
That used to be the rule rather than the exception. In my youth I was the recipient of several such retorts to stupid things I've said.... it certainly makes a teaching moment unforgettable!
You probably should have looked up the part number for a "we are all winners" trophy and bought one for the parts guy!

My late Great Uncle was the best at giving someone "The Eye". Kinda gnarly, yet quite effective when accompanied with the corresponding elevated brow.
Man He was good.
That's the only answer the parts guy needed from you.
He probably would have responded with "Yes Sir, I'll be right back with it", as He sulked away.

Going on 37 years ago I was a parts guy at a Ford dealership right out of high school. No computers, you had to find part numbers from diagrams and looking stuff up in big books. You also had to have "thick skin." Some mechanical knowledge was also required. Those days are long gone. I don't think most Harley parts guys even ride. I normally look up the part number and take it in with me. I shouldn't have to, but it's just easier for me and for them.
