What is it with motorcycle salesmen?
Would you please advise your customers that motorcycles require fuel to run properly.
Furthermore, please let them know that there are in fact no petrol stations on the Auckland harbour bridge.

Guess I better take the heat for Noel(bastard) on this one.
He raises a good point though.

I bought a car once... from a dealership... ran out of petrol less than 500m down the road. I wasn't impressed.
Did you just get home?

and another good idea... when selling bikes or scooters to young girls who know nothing more than how to put the key in, TELL them whether it is two stroke or not, and if so, sell them a bottle of the damn stuff!
ive had one chick try and convince me to use lawn mower 2 stroke in her scoot [and she didnt know where shed bout the thing from when i told her to go back to them] and another "old enough to know better" woman ask me whether her scooter needed oil mixed with the petrol or not! SHEESH! she got the same advice as chick one. dopey bloody cows, lol!
o yeh, bright red fuzzy elmo slippers are NOT the must have nifty fifty accessoy.

You'd think they could fill the tank for you and build it into the price of the deal

Then the weenies would want the tank drained cos they only fill from pump #4 at the BP in wopsville cos that is the only gas their machine can use to give max power for their awesome riding skill!
But yeah, enought to get you home would be good. Less than 50 K's is not going to register on any bike so a glance would have told the story.

I know a certain car salesman who went out on a test drive with the fuel light showing. lol
Got a call to say 'Help am stuck on the north western motorway'. By the time I got there, the battery had gone flat from listening to music, $20 on a hill is not enough for the 2004 Holden Commodores and pushing said commodore 2 km to the gas station is not the greatest for the bumper on my van.
Must be a good salesman though as he still sold the bloody thing!!!!!

Not just a perrrty face it seems :whistle:
Yep, used to be standard practice back in the day, am surprised that more shops dont do exactly that. Sure charge the on road costs (we used to even cover that if there was no trade in) What a bonus deal, pay $xxx and ride away with 6 months rego and a full tank of gas! Not rocket science really.
Greg better be shouting Te Strange One something tells me :dodge:

I would like to blame Rachels inefficient fuel consumption going around Pukekohe track.
She claims keeping the bikes rev range between 14 - 17 thousand drained out more fuel than her usual commuting pace.
Thank god for those ginger strips on the bridge.
