What was the damage. I bet you were able to negotiate a very fair price seeing as they had 3 on the floor.

Pretty cool to see three of them all sitting in the same area. Great photos.

When my wife dropped me off at the dealer on the "big day" it was beautiful out. By the time I let the clutch handle out for the first time to ride the bike off of the lot it was sprinkling. By the time I made it to the freeway, there was a downpour, which continued all the way until I got it home an hour or so later (not including a brief stop by my workplace). Blah.

Yes Wildezt... It was evening for me too (As the time displays) .... That day the show room had 3 CBs and one of the other show rooms had only one. So it's typical buyer's mentality to be dragged to the place which has more options to choose from. But My dealer experience was Horrible .....I still regret not buying the single piece from the other dealer .... He was very polite and customer friendly ....

AS you are well known for your humors ... The dealer was a Honda Exclusive dealer and yes, it had all the new models available in the store.....

Thanks Guth ..... I know everybody in this forum will have a grin on his face just by thinking about the moment when he entered into the store till the delivery . I wanted to capture the moment so that I can share with you all knowing that this will certainly bring back the "Newness" memories in all ....

Thanks Again ........

I bought my first new bike from them...a 1993 BLUE 750 Nighthawk. I lived just down 14 passed the RR viaduct down Washington St on the left so that was my local dealer at the time.

Sorry that your dealer experience was less than satisfactory. I am pretty sure that's the dealer from which I have purchased 4 bikes. They have always treated me, my wife, and the several friends I have referred there in a friendly and fair manner. There are a couple guys there that I don't care for, though. Maybe you dealt with one of them or caught someone else on a bad day. You should discuss your experience with the owner, Jeff. I know for a fact that his goal is to make buying a motorcycle almost as fun as riding one.

Good luck with the bike. Maybe I'll see you around town. Smile
