Message: [QUOTE="cdoering, post: 617491, member: 34925"] I do see everyones point of view here. I have a 'trick' if you will that I would like to share. Let's say you are considering the purchase of a new dirt bike. You have four 'shops' in your area. Each shop carrys a different brand of dirt bike. Pretty much any new dirt bike would be cool to own. Which one to choose? I say try this, go into each shop and ask the parts guy/gal for a clutch cable for a 2003 model. Certainly a basic part. Hey? If that shop doesn't carry that basic part for a current year dirt bike what would make you think that shop would/will have what you need when you need parts? Also check out their personal. Can they talk intelligently about your next bike? Do they meet and greet you ? If this/these shops can't supply bacis parts and they can't hire people who can take care of your needs THEN WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN THAT SHOP !!!!???? There are hundreds of GREAT dealerships out there that will stock the basic parts to keep you riding and racing. Keep looking until you find one. Consider this if a retailer takes the money he earns and places that money into parts to sit on his part shelves in the hopes that someone will come in to buy them and this same dealer has every part you need in stock for you to take home that very day , no waiting here it is , your order filled 100% .Why would you shop around ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME, for a lessor price? If I can have what I want today I have zero need to go anywhere else, period. I have no problem with this retailer making money. When my son has to race Saturday and I have worked every hour of the week with barely enough time to get ready for his race I need a Dealer who has the part and I will pay for that part. Price is not everything. Having it in my hands the very day I need it is EVERYTHING. [/QUOTE]
