Every now and again, I will pass a dealerships while out on my Saturday ride. \\; Some have a lot of bikes in the parking lot, others are full of cars....
 \\;
What are all these people doing there? \\; \\;Standing around a dealership looks to be a monumental waste of a Saturday!!!
sometimes it is the HOG chapter, sometimes the dealer is having burgers and dogs.. oh BTW go check out our new.... chrome... bike... clothing.... sometimes it's just people with no life.
I never go into the dealerships.....only unless I have to. Perhaps I am traveling and REALLY need something for my bike. Most of the time, they don't have what I need anyways as most of the dealers don't carry much parts for bikes that are older.

The other time I will go in....is when I have plenty of "Harley Bucks" from my Harley visa saved up.
Nice crowd at my local H-D dealer yesterday but that was because they had their annual open house. Normally, a few bikes unless groups are meeting for a road trip, etc.
Stop by and find out. Or is it better to sit here in front of your computer wasting time?
 \\;
Touche!!!! \\;I think both are equally wasteful....
 \\;
 \\;
Besides, the Lies are better here than down at the dealership. And I don't have to fear spending money on something I don't need here.

yeah, i love them chrome cash certificates! \\; you cant beat it, i use my credit card to pay my bills, then transfer the money from my checking account to pay off the credit card, and before you know it, 50 or 100 bucks in free chrome cash. \\; and zanotti's will take them on internet orders too. \\; course, you have to send them in first, and then they will charge the balance to the cc, but hey, its worth the wait.
Urgent message! HD dealers are toy stores for adults....Same goes with Speed shops, Truck Accessory shops etc.....Many have fun dreaming! \\; No harm, no foul!
