NC Dealer doesn't think gear is necessary

[smileyman]

Hey girls...I can wheelie for ya if ya like. Mom got me this crap 600 but in a few weeks when I sell my Xbox I am trading it in for an R1. Did I mention I'm fast

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if your bored on a 600 your not doing it right!

Oh and if your waiting for salesman to grow a conscienceDifferent breed altogether.

I can wheelie my own, thankyouverymuch. I just don't like to because it scares me.

I've said it once before and I'll say it again. I HATE salesmen! Although Eric is the exception to the rule.

Thanks Rogue

I started selling bikes in June of last year, and I can't tell y'all the number of 18-20 year olds that have never ridden that have come in wanting a liter bike because the 600's are "too slow". I just give them a look and say "what, 160mph is too slow for ya? How quick do you want to die?"

I will not ever try to upsell someone on a bike for a few dollars more commission if I don't think they're skilled enough to handle it. I usually try to turn the newbs to the Ninja 250, 500 or 650 or at best a ZZR (still have one left) or R6S.

Had a guy in the other week telling me his girlfriend needed a liter bike to keep up with him on his "Busa" in the curves. I told him I'd run him on any 600 in the curves for the title to his bike and he thought I was crazy This guy had to be 30 or so too, but some people have no clue.

Some people have no scruples and no concious, hell if I was trying to get rich I sure wouldn't be selling bikes for a living, and won't be long anyway with the economy heading where its going. $10 or $100 dollars on one sale isn't worth it to me. I just wish our owner would stock more gear, we've got very little in stock so it's kinda hard to push it though I do tell them to go somewhere if they don't order it from us. I do what I can but I sleep well at night.

i looked everywhere but i couldnt find a fuck so i cant really give one

I just learned to not talk about it. Unless i care about the person, they are close to me...

Otherwise, I simply move on about my day. I wear gear, so I lead by example I guess.

$16.5k for Repsol RR... those went for $11K new I think... what a bunch of tools. They'll be out of business soon.

you're one of the few.

one sales guy wanted the dealership to find someone that would loan to higher risk people. WTF? lets sell something to someone that can't afford it. wait, that's what they did in the real estate industry. worked for them.

I've seen them upsell to a complete idiot and see the bike come back wadded up. but I've also seen a 250 come back in the same condition lol some people just shouldn't ride.

for the most part I absolutely hate salespeople. I don't even trust that the name they gave me is the right one.

Ironically enough, I did have a salesperson at a local dealer try to sell me what he thought was a Kawi, and it was a Suzuki...but I guess the blaring brand logos werent enough of a clue for him!

I say live and let die. We're all adults, so do whatever you wanna do. Besides, if the squids get knocked off, there'll be more curb squirrels left for me.
