Why are motorcycle shops closed on Sundays?

[Brian d marge]

your not going to be lying on your death bed wishing you had done a few extra hrs in the shop

fkin oath Ill will

a chop shop . a ladies of ill repute shop

a cake shop

a stop an shop

or as in the last words of Steve Jobs ," oh wow wow......"


You are looking at it the wrong way, , IF you are in retailing , you are there to serve the customer , IF the customer likes you service and say thank you, ,,,consider that your rich reward

I do, honestly , ( and there are those on KB who know this )......... when I get that thank you from a happy custmer , I am the richest man alive

( post script, 99 % wont know what the fk im talking about , and it bothers me how much , ,,,well if you use the inverse square of the wanks I have had , there is a good starting point )


if you want a pair of boots and its Sunday,,, ask me and I will move heaven and earth to get you those boots , that why I CHOSE this trade

Agree,and when the boss says you have done well this month,here is a $200 bonus this week it is truly gratifying to me.I did a job for a client,she rang my cell phone and left a message saying many thanks for a great job,you were courteous,listened and delivered the product well,and also emailed my boss,the little things like that count,her word of mouth is the best advertising ever,and cheapest as you can't buy that.

You aint gonna have to worry about a family if you work 7 days a week, youll come home to find your missus' mouth full of some-one else's cock cos you werent around to give her the railing she deserved (and needed).

its a pretty good feeling, even better when they bring you a box of piss to say it, but to have a school give you a reward for raising 20k for them on trail ride, you could not do this if you were open in the hope of selling a pair of boots,

going for a ride with 5 mates in a wicked riding spot is wicked,

closing on a sunday when a minorty of people want to use you is not bad business set, many bikes shops have tried to open sundays and they have all found it to be slow and have given up, esp in the mixed road/offroad/atv shop which make up the majority of the regional towns/citys, a few have made it work,

in the end i work out you would need to sell an extra 20% worth of bikes and gear to make it worth while, maybe a bit less if you closed a monday to make up for it, and the majority of shops out there do not think it is worth it, even a medium size shop it would take 4-5 people to open the shop for a reasonable level of service,

And on the well informed post from Scott...I'm officially out of this thread. It'll resurface in another year or so.

Many business owners like myself are as near as dammit working 7 days a week, thousands on welfare depend on us

Hear hear! Yes we are here to provide service but not to bankrupt ourselves in doing so.

...hahahaa...too true!...but why stop there, can you squeeze in an 8th day so more of us can work a little easier?

Why cant motorcyclists organise themselves better, so they dont need to whinge about a motorcycle shop not being open on a sunday?

I used to like motorcycles, but having now been in the industry for 37 odd years ''the love'' is really no longer there

thats a shame, i still love riding a bike more than anything, and running the events and seeing a heap of people having a huge smile on there face never gets old either,

only thirty years , this end , but if you are talking about being a mechanic , or something like that I can agree whole heartily

but organizing MX day is still with in the business , just in a different way ....I use the computer a lot and a whole new area has opened up , CFD , CAD etc

its the same with the wife , but that young thing down the road , well "I’m interested , with a capital IN "
