You shop for a bargain. I shop for a bike. When I found my bike, there was another one exactly like it on the floor. But, it wasn't mine. When the saleman tried to roll that other bike, I stopped him. Told him so.

He looked at me all funny and said, "What's the difference?" I just kind of shrugged.

If I had to explain...

I always say if you don't ask you don't get and with so many dealers about play one against the other I bought my Bones 3 years ago and have loved it since day one I went to a dealer 260 miles away as they offered me Ł1000 off (which was about $1500)

Best think about it you can buy it from one shop and and get it serviced the dealer gave me the oil and filter to take away with me so I could take it to my local dealer for its first service
