Demo Buell1125R @ AMPS

[Big Dave]

I was at AMPS this afternoon and their 1125R demo was parked out front.

If you are in the market for a really good sports bike check it out.

looking like mid May if I'm lucky, 6 weeks for frame, 3 days to swap things over.
talking something like they will re-vin the new frame, to match the engine or something like that, they have a data base of all there bikes.

anyhow how long you had the new bike were the pics, good on yah.

sorry BD

Sigh. Every time I wander into AMPS the same thing happens as in every other bike shop. All the staff look vaguely round as if aware at some psychic level that there is a 'presence'. But no-one can see me.


And if I should ever suggest a test ride, even of a Honda C50, it always turns out that every bike in the shop, nay the country, has just that afternoon been commandeered by the government to to rush troops to the friont to defend out dear country from an invasion by the frenzied Viking hordes from Greenland, and none can be spared, under any circumstances. At any other time, of course ...............

I gave up years ago.

They are either 'too pushy' of 'too standoffish' and THEY can't win.

If YOU went up to any of them and said Hi my name is ....and I'm interested in....

They will do what they can to sell you a bike.

sorry BD

aaaah - it's keeping mine company.

But how do you CATCH any of "them". I have tried sticking my hand down the toilet wastepipe in the hope of grabbing 'their ' ankle as they make their submarine effort to get away form me but they are always too quick for me.

Money talks.

Unfortunatly, i dont have any!

[Ixion]

Well, actually, I do. Of course, I'm actually a poor old man, subsisting on a mouldy bread crust a week. But a few clever dick financial types have assumed over the years that old and simple equalled stupid. But they still still run when they see me. Do you suppose it is the jacket cut from an old sugar bag? or the gin bottle in the trouser pocket?

If I seriously want to discuss buying a bike or want to arrange a test ride - I ring and make an appointment to do so.

[Ixion]

Well, no, I don't want to *seriously* discuss buying a new bike. I want some sales dude to twist my arm and suborn me so that I can go home and tell Mrs Ixion that I never wanted to but I had no alternative, and I was just riding down the road and they ran out and forced me off the bike and dragged me into the showroom, and I was forced into it, and if I didn't they would have put a horse's head in my bed, and , just because I signed the contract , 20 starving families in Africa will eat next week , and 50 little kittens will be reprieved from the gas chambers, and global warming will be delayed 20 years.

They gotta work with me on this!

I can see them sitting back counting the money.
