They're selling Genuine WHERE?!?!

Hey guys! Funny thing I noticed while looking for a local Genuine dealer: the closest one to me is a big Harley-Davidson dealership! How weird is that? I mean, H-D salespeople (in general) have a rep for trash talking other brands because they're not "real bikes." Wonder how that's working out for their scooter sales?

I admit, as much as I'd like to go take a Blur 220i for a test ride, scooter shopping among a bunch of mullet-sporting, leather-clad "tough guys" seems like an uncomfortable prospect. :?

I did a demo drive of the Madass 125 at a Harley Dealership. It was their "entry level" motorcycle. No Genuine there, though. It was a hell of a facility and worked out to a nice retail experience. Lots of friendly staff and plenty of people waiting for the doors to open. I wasn't used to that!

Not all Harley riders are greasy, but many of them are :wink:

If Harley is willing to sell the Madass why the hell don't they bring back the topper?

Same in route from TO to Camarillo, CA. Buddys are sold at Harley Davidson.

Ditto here.

You can always count on a wave from a Harley rider, at least around here. And I get a kick out them calling their bikes "scooters".
