My first motorcycle (1974) dealer does not give anything away for precisely the reasons JPT mentioned. ("Bettencourt's Honda/Suzuki has been in business since 1948 and is proud to be New England's oldest and largest Honda /Suzuki dealer.") - But yeah, at a certain point, a line is crossed and you sink into the red. It would be nice if customers would respect dealers for being a business. So many dealers have disappeared and then you HAVE TO travel to get to one. I just said to a friend yesterday, find a way to buy from your local dealer. He wanted to buy a Gixxer out of state.
