Mark Cuda, I own two Kawasaki's and now two Harleys, yes I ride, about 16,000 miles a year on average between the bikes. Been rideing every year since 1971.

Real men ride Vespas. You absolutely HAVE to be secure in your masculinity.

Hey Vulcan Bob: congrats on your new ride! Great timing with riding weather right around the corner. Ride well, ride hard and ride safe.

Bob, I was just givin' ya a hard time

Bob, I bought a 2003 Ultra and put 200,000 miles on it so far

No, that is not a type O

 

[Vulcan Bob]

Markcuda, compared to that, maybe I'm not a rider! Holy smoke's my high milage bike was a 73 Yamaha TX750 with about 88,000 on her when I sold it. What sort of maintenance issue's have you had with your Ultra? I'm sorta new to the H.D. world and any tips would be appreciated.

Bob, if you plan on putting tons of miles on a Harley, just make sure you have a warranty

Mine was covered for 5 years, so, Harley lost money on that deal

Working for a Ford parts department sure gives me some insight to this stuff. Many salesmen are just like some of you have described. And it really irks some folks, as it should. Why then, if these people are so outdone with car salesmen, do they get those same salesmen to order their parts and accessories for them instead of going straight to the department that they come from? Then they wonder why their stuff never gets ordered......

When I was a youngster I paid for everything with cash. That was before 10 years of marriage and a divorce but that's another story.

Anyway I was at a Oldsmobile Dealership one evening in 1973 looking at a new Olds Cutlass when this used car salesman came out dressed like Herb Tarlick on the TV show WKRP Cincinnati and said "Son that one will cost you over $125 bucks a month in payments, let me show you something more in your price range." Now that was definitely not the way you wanted to engage me in conversation in those early years. Of course I'm a lot calmer now compared to those days.

Yeah Yeah I know but I'm tellin' the story so listen up.

With the fur standing up on my back and my girl friend holding on to the tail end of my shirt I chased the guy back into the office with a few thousand bucks clinched in my fist to let him know I had enough money to buy 2 of those damn Cutlasses if I wanted to with enough left over to buy his mother and wife if I so desired!! I left the place with the manager apologizing over and over again.

I went down the road to the Pontiac Dealer and placed an order for a new '73 Trans Am that very night.

I bet you wish you still had the girl and the car. Well, OK, at least the car.

When I bought my Dodge Ram, I told the salesman what I wanted to pay. The guy tells me I must want to buy a Dakota for what I offered. I left he called me a week later, and sold the Ram to me at my price.

A guy I work with on occasion is a great bargainer. He was in a furniture store that was going out of business. Looking at a dining table set. Price said $900.

Friend: Will you take $600?
Salesman: I don't think so but let me ask the manager.
Salesman comes back: How about $750?
Friend: How about $500?
Salesman: What?! You just said $600.
Friend: Yeah, you should have taken it.

He left with the table set for $500.
