I believe he said the guy OWNED the dealership. Way different than just some employee.

From what I've seen and heard this is and will be an on going push - ORIGINATING FROM MOCO - to have the excessive noise polution from bikes reduced! Moco sees what will be in store for the company AND ITS' RIDERS and is making a real effort to deal with it. Dealers are following company efforts to quiet things down. They are not being obstinate or preachy and will only push so hard, after which they will complete any work that you may want to have done anyhow. If biking as an industry can't show self restraint and reason then the government will step in and do it for us!

Which would you rather have?
a) a dealer trying to push an agenda
b) a government stepping in and doing it for them
My vote goes to the dealer and moco!

I like the part about "Wiseco pistons are crap" so I suppose the cast ones Harley sells are better. Lol!!
