Default RE: Maybe it's me.....

ORIGINAL: GNSLNGR

....but I've been in three dealers in the past week looking at HDs - I'm planning on buying one, oh, say, yesterday - and I've noticed somthing bizarre.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; At none of those dealers did a single salesperson approach me to ask me if he/she could help me, or if I had been helped.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; &nbsp\\;\\\\\\;All the while, I'm walking around their large showrooms looking at Sportsters, sitting on them, etc.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; No one from the dealership pays any attention to me, and it is clear none of them want to sell a bike.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
Is there some kind of etiquette I should know about?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Do you have to approach salespeople and beg them to help you with a purchase?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Or am I doing something wrong?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
&nbsp\\;
wear a sign around your neck that says, "I got cash money" or a "My credit score is over 800."

I like to be left alone as well but some sort of acknowledgement is nice.&nbsp\\; Even if it's just a "Hi, just ask if need anything or have any questions."&nbsp\\; I hate being treated or made to feel like I'm not even woth the effort to even say hi to.

Go sit on a couple of touring bikes or CVO's, someone will be over to see you then.
