Nothing wrong with Honda's mate!
Actually... My first dogs name was Honda! (for real!)

Still got the KTM's and Duc's, just got to add these to the pile too.
Just not Husky dealers anymore.
I think Maidstone Yamaha is going to take them on.

So Clive Cooper-Smith has finally relented on his demand for single franchise shops then after all the fuss he had with Sawyers when they took on Yamaha. Wellington went without Hondas altogether until he gave in - I know WT would have loved that but given how overseas most Honda shops are multifranchise like any other dealership it was a dumb policy by Blue Wing Honda. The market still isn't big enough here to support single franchise shops as far as I can see.

You're on the money there, Merv. What's REALLY stupid, have you seen any other brand used car on a Honda lot?

Yeah, Dukes need more floor space because they're disposable kinda bikes. They only last a few months before ya need a new one, so the shop needs to hold more stock :Pokey:

Basically both Motomart and Sawyers could do with better locations - you are both in bastards of places on busy streets - and that ramp down at Motomart is a classic, so can't you talk the boss into big new premises to house all the top models?

Tell ya what.

Everytime I dirve past it I think the old Superior Springs location in Seaview would be the mutts nutts for a bike shop.

If I win powerball, that's what I'll be doing.

It's my idea, so fuck off you vultures....

Can I be Official Suspension Tester?

Actually, I reckon I could be a pretty good bike salesman.

That idea is going to stay purely hypothetical, though. I'd go through several bottles of Swarfega every night trying to get the crawly stench of craven misrepresentation out of my skin.

Unfortunately, this is a role held by the Sales manager.

I've decided to leave it there for the time being.

In my profession, one never knows when one will need to pull a little more than usual out of one's arse.
