    Best line a salesman used on me was at a Harley Davidson dealership near where I live. He told me and I quote "Your wife is gonna really be turned on when you bring this bike home because now you're a Harley Davidson man. I replied to him "if I bring this bike home and pay the $25K you want for it she will divorce me". He walked away.

    Made a salesman laugh and walk away when I told him "I'm using cash, and nothing anyone says will make me buy a bike, my ass will tell me which bike to buy." He laughed and said to let him know if my ass had a question. Great guy. Ended up buying used though. Much better deals to be had without dealer fees, taxes, and mark-ups.

Refused to talk to me about anything other bike. And so began my long term love affair with the M109R. Never looked at another HD since.

      I had the exact same experience in the parts department. This high pressure woman sold me my bike, and that's fine and all because I got exactly what I went in there for, but she sends me to the parts guy for modifications. This part I'm dreading because I don't want to end up with tons of mods. The guy goes over some stuff, says I should do my own research and order stuff direct from Yamaha. Dude, I'll just pay the 30$ for you to order that for me.

      Jimmy's are the best people to know. They actually do pretty much know everything, usually chill as can be and very calming to be around. Their minds love order or at least making chaos into order, they're organised and efficient, friendly and to the point, a little on the quiet side. Nearly every shop, garage or gearhead has a "Jimmy" or wishes they did.

    That last guy, the Technician that could put any Zen Master to shame...
    Used to be Honda of Saint Petersburg before she sold to Barney's Yamaha. Small, small dealer.
    Her technician was a God.He knew his stuff, and always talked to you like you were a human. If you didn't understand, he would explain so you did. Was keen to let me in the back and talk to me while he worked.
    I learned a ton from Randy. He taught me what I needed to know, was quick to give advice, help me be independent, and was always willing to let me pay him to do the work if I was unable or unwilling to do the work myself.
    The parts guy, Jerry, was just as knowledgeable.
    I miss that shop. I no longer live in the area, and that was over 20 years ago.

    I met another guy in a dealer yesterday! He’s called “the rep”. After talking with him for a while he finally lets out “well I don’t actually work here, I’m just their Kawasaki rep”. I realize he’s wearing a Kawi sweatshirt and hat, how could I have not seen it before now. No wonder when I said I was thinking of a DRZ 400 he told me the KLR 650 was the best adventure bike out there. This guy know all things Kawasaki and nothing else even exists. You like this guy because he isn’t trying to actively sell you a bike but in your mind you are thinking when I buy one, it’ll be a Kawasaki.

He bragged about how he had two Harleys, but needed to sell them to settle with his wife. He told my Dad that his wife and he grew apart. After about fifteen minutes of looking at the bikes, the guy came around again and started talking to us again and my Dad asked him how long he was married before his marriage fell apart. Gee , I thought the guy was ready to throw down with my Dad, he yelled, we didn’t fall apart, we grew apart.

    You forgot the sales woman who's never been on a bike. Doesn't even know how to start it, or maybe that its even a vehicle. Wearing a low-cut shirt, and ass-jeans. She's the master of not implying that she'll blow you for a sale, yet somehow conveys the lie clearly. If you bring a referral in she'll put an arm around your shoulder like you're sort of broken up, but still friends. Then she'll smile at your buddy like he just got invited to a three-way, and have the paperwork ready before his half-chub goes away.

    I met the mechanic at the dealership I bought my motorcycle from. He worked for Honda for 50 years. My first service was the last motorcycle he ever worked on. I was a little honored about that. His daughter however was very much like the owner's wife in the video. She kept shoving helmets on my head because she was worried about me dying on the way home. XD

    Dude, i’m just trying to get into bikes so in my curiosity, i entered a dealership that works with BMWs, Kawasakis and Hondas....i walked up to the front desk and said “I’m interested in motorcycles but i have no idea on what would be good or not for someone like me, so if someone could help me i would greatly appreciate it”. The lady pointed me to a salesman and i told the guy more or less the same thing as before and he just kinda shrugged and showed me a BMW 310 R or G or something, said the price and that was it...well shit man, i’m sorry for being such as newb that i warrant such a lame ass help. I could have bought a freaking S1000RR but i guess i wasn’t worth his time.
    Completely different from when i bought my first car (and that was like 3 years ago), dude was all specific with details, showed me several brands, models with different features and characteristics, buying options, etc, etc..Your videos have been way more educational in contrast.

    He needs to add the 8 type of person you will find in a dealership.
    I was in a Harley dealership and a salesman was trying to sell a new rider a Electra glide cvo. The guy stated he wanted to ride around town with his friends and occasionally go on a group day ride. I stepped in and explaind that the electra glide was for highway riding and was a bit heavy and pointed towards the mid size dynas and softails were more for his type of riding. He needed to match the bike with how he was planning on riding. I also told him the biggest he would want is something like a street glide. He asked me if I worked there and I stated no I am just an enthusiast here for some parts.
    That dealership went out of business since then.

    Some of these characters are there in some dealerships for sure. But in my case I did research on the bible of motorcycle's "Cycle Trader" had a trailer ready to rent and leave to another state. In the last moment I swung by my local Honda dealer and asked if they'd match the price. Well being smart they knew that they'd rather have a customer and build a rapport with them because a smart sales person knows......there's always going to be another bike. So I got great treatment and great service and later I found they fired that sales person so I'm like.........hmm maybe the dealer is just about money only and screw the customer.......sooooooo I may not be going back there after all lol. But the dealerships that PISS ME OFF are the ones that say Kawaski/SUZUKI and you think LETS GO LOOK WHAT THEY HAVE! Only to find out there's not one God damn motorcycles in there. It's just 4 wheeler's and Water Crafts and you say ummm where's the bikes and they just laugh. Your like GOD Damn it don't waist my time!

    I went to a used bike shop last week. I'm a weekend warrior, having ridden for years, but not too much. I got the a sales rep who was a blend of a few of these guys: riding since the invention of air, does the "I just work here", and knows everything ever done to every bike ever. He asked me the right questions, what I'm looking for, power, style, etc. He pointed to the areas of the store explaining what each has. I told him I'm not compensating for any short comings nor am I trying to get even with the ex. He laughed, pointed to an area and said your bike is there. An hour later I bought a Suzuki GZMarauder. Next year after I save a few bucks, I'll trade up to a 500 or 600.

    my dealership is very small -- there are two dudes: one has jam jar glasses and is that bike engineer that knows about the spring, the wire harness, tyres, shocks and everything, and he always gives excellent advice that has saved me money and untold headaches. He looks like he's 73 and he probably is, and is almost certainly employee number 1. The other guy is everyone else in your video except the divorced guy. But he's also been very kind and helpful, and made me (with a healthy dose of hindsight) a very good deal on my first bike. And yes -- they also sell honda lawnmowers...

Now I am looking for an actual motorcycle and have decided to look for a used KTM 390 Duke. It looks like I may have to go out of town or even get one shipped. Any suggestions on how to get a bike shipped that won't break the bank would be appreciated.
