I don't think I have any pictures unfortunately.

The bad thing about working at a MC dealer is that is long hours and you are talking constantly. It's difficult to concentrate completely on your customer for 9 hours straight. At the end of the day you are worn out.

My first day, they had an MVP event. I worked from 10 to 11 my first day. That was last weekend. This weekend is the HOG rally in town. It's going to be wall to wall this weekend.

It is fun, though, to help people to buy a bike. You can cut the excitement with a knife.

It's really different working with "Harley people" vs. "sportbike people". Sportbike people want to know HP, torque, maintenance schedules, fuel consumption, etc.

Harley people want to know what colors it comes in, what accessories are available and how comfy the seat is. Most don't even test ride a bike before they buy it.

I am the ONLY sportbike rider in the shop.

Besides the owner.

Come by and see me. We'll do a "good" test ride.
