I think its great! get a job at HD ride to work on a TRIUMPH! Im sure it will be a fun job too. My Father-in-law was a merch/events mgr for the Shop in San Antonio for about 10 years. Worked a lot but had a great time also. Good Luck!

It sounds like a great opprotunity for you. There are still a lot of suckers out there buying into the HD brand because of percieved image. I hate to say it but I would hate to sell Triumphs in my City.
Ride like you mean it.

Best of luck to you! I know a guy who owns a HD dealership and they take good care of their employees. It's supposed to be a good company to work for. But yes, I agree that I would be hillarious to ride to work on your BA

Shut up! I guess you won't be able to bad mouth Harleys anymore, except for here on the site.  I hope you get the job, JR. I think you wold be great at selling bikes. But what are you going to say when the customer asks, "what do you ride?"

On the bright side JR, could be your training as an EMT will be an asset at the HD dealership? Oh, it's in sales, not service.

Ya know John, JR's EMT training STILL might come in handy even in Sales.

If I was gonna ride some thing besides a Triumph it would be a ...
bicycle.

Yeah, well, all I'M thinkin' here is that the folks who'll walk into that Harley dealership sure won't have to worry about JR, our resident "Man of Few Words", talkin' their EARS off about H-D's product line, anyway!!! (...that IS, of course, if he's ANYTHING in person like he is around HERE!)

Well dang, I told you popping wheelies on the Tiger in their parking lot would be frowned upon.

...or answer any questions in the classroom that might involve using an example or two in order to expand upon the answer you'd be offering up to the teacher.
