Do you like the Harley dealers the way they are now (clean with popcorn and neon) or the way they were (oil on the floor with bikes marking their spot)?

 

I think your getting confused ..... the only bikes i saw mark their spot as you call it were in British motorcycle dealers ... have never seen one bike with oil under it in a Harley dealer also dont care about the looks as long as i get the bike i want and the customer service to go with it! .....

 

I liked it when it was still in transition...the halfway point.

 

I like EVERYTHING the way it was. I hate the way just about everything IS nowadays.

 

That's true Dickey, the 21st century sucks.

Hey Scratt, good to read ya. Hope you aren't melting down there.

It was more interesting back then. I remember looking at an ironhead sportster at the dealer ( in a barn w/ clapboard siding on it to make it fancy ) and the salesman/owner/parts guy with long hair and a beard says "take it for a test ride, just leave me your car keys". The floors were warped and the place smelled like oil, exhaust and hay. The current dealership does not have any neon and you might have to brew up the next batch of coffee yourself, but everybody will thank you for it.
Still, it is more about money now than it was then.

 

Isn't every business? ...

 

I sure miss the times when the dealers were stocking parts insted of clothes

 

Except for fuel injection. And microbreweries.
