Know this, JP and I are as far apart as you can get, We ain't even close. I am not a left wing liberal and would be against many of the things he supports. I did ride Harleys most of my riding career. Yes I am enjoying retirement. Been retired 4 years. My wife is 11 years younger than me and still works. She is the controler of a global company.
I have ridden on two wheels for 54 years. Got my 1st scooter in 1958. I have degenerative back disease and can no longer swing my leg across a motorcycle so a step through scooter is keeping me riding a while longer.
One of my best friends and riding buddies owned the local Honda shop for several years. Its not like I don't know the workings of a motorcycle shop. Many people get good deals around here. I'm sorry that you don't. We are in a different market.
The three major Kymco dealers here are also Honda dealers and are large multi brand shops, and between them they have over a 100 years in business. One of them has been in business since 1956 and started selling Hondas in the early 60s. I can get good deals from two of them. Not so much from the other one although a little less than MSRP. The scooter only shop that JP worked in did not give great deals and they still shut down??. I never was in that shop but did talk to them on the phone several times when taking bids to buy a scooter. Yeah I do play one against the other.
Now I got to finish mowing the yard.
