Well I am the GUY that wants the bamn bike! SMOKEINHISEYES is a very trusted friend of mine and I regrettably know how he feels about the situation and his loyalty with a friend has not and will not be compromised as far as I am concerned. My problem is that if I buy the bike somewhere else and go back in there for service then I know I am going to be treated like @%$#! Here is what I wrote this A.M before I found this thread......... Went in with financing but the sales girl started jacking me around and adding $$ to it. 165$ for pushing paper $600 for transportation and crating.Then wanted to start shaving down the $1200 in free stuff to get the bike priced where I wanted it. At this point I had been in her office for 3 hrs....yes I said three hrs. I was so worn down that I said I would be back......with fresh blood(my wife. so had to have my wife go in there and talk with her woman to woman. All she got was more run around but the lady offered us 10% off anything in there store forever if we bought the bike and free T-shirt, because HER CUSTOMERS ALWAYS GET A FREE SHIRT. Found out after we left(with out the bike) that you get the 10% anyway when you join RAT! Anyone out there got any advice, brick, torch or any ideas. If there are any dealers reading these let me know if you have a bike and want a long distance customer!
