Truth is most dealerships these days are not owned by motorcyclists, rather they are owned by businessmen. For them it's simply columns of profit and loss and nothing more. My brother and I rode motorcycles to work everyday, as did several of the other employees in the shops we worked at in the 70s and 80s. When I pull up to my local dealership there is only 1 employee motorcycle rider, the Service Manager BJ. Rides every day rain or shine. Good guy. The owner, the parts people, the salesmen, none of them ride...and it's evident by how they treat their customers.
