GO AWAY!!!!! Hah Just kidding man, that's awesome!!!

I'd love to work for a dealer, just being around all those bikes would rock... just because some have bad ethics, there are plenty that really mean well and try their best. You get to be one of those, give us the inside scoop, and maybe even help some of us get a deal if we need a new ride!!

I'm excited for ya! I expect pictures of the show floor though

You're fine.

 

If you quit the last time.You are the guy I want in the dealership this time.

 

What he said!

 

:nono: Silly wabbit! Quits are for kids! :bleh:

Seriously though, the second biggest problem with bike sales people is they (and many dealer mechanics) don't have the faintest freaking idea as to what folks want from their bikes, on their bikes, for their bikes and what they'd like changed about their bikes.

You stay here (and other model related forums) and PARITCIPATE and you'll become a Master liar...err...sales individual. :icon_susp

 

Now that's funny:cheers:

 

I am neither Ray nor a moderator....but as a member who is in somewhat goodstanding, I would welcome someone here who worked in any capacity involving a dealership....(I think there might be a few already)....

My question would be does your new employer have a problem with you being on a bike forum?.....Hopefully, they do not....:nope:

 

i agree with this guy, but my standing are nowhere as good, so my thoughts don't carry mud around here:cheers:

 

Congratulations!
Now there will be someone at a dealer that we wont have to argue with. lol.
On the up side good luck from all of us.

I don't see a problem at all. I agree, at least you will have the background to know what the hell you're talking about, and looking at it from the other side of the coin. I assume it is a sales position? If so, then you will know how to treat someone with respect and not just see a dollar sign walking in the door. I think part of the problem with some sales people is they aren't always into bikes, but in the other equipment they sell, like boats, water craft and the like. Good luck in the new venture.

 

Congrats on the new job! I'll be in Boca nexr weekend.

 

No problem here. Like everything, there are good dealers and bad dealers.

 

+1

Congrats on the new job.

:icon_susp you can be our secret agent and find out the truth about the correct blinker fluid and if it is really necessary to be changed everytime we take our bikes to the shop.:icon_susp

 

My biggest problem with dealers is they have no clue about the product they sell...You'll be one of those few that DO actually know something about motorcycles....

Congrats on the new job man!!!....:cheers:

 

And there ya go!!!

 

Working for a dealer. That could get me in deep poo at home. hehehe

 

I don't know why dealer would get such a bad rap. Some do have knowledgable staff that are a fountain of information for people not 100% up with todays technology. No I don't work at a dealer, but do take my bike there regulary for serious checkups. I do lots of work myself as I've really modified my VTX 1800C from boring stock to serious head turner. Just joined and really enjoying everyone point of view. Cheers from Australia.

 

Maybe I'll see ya there sometime.

 

Congrats, Looks like Rick Case Honda may have just gained some rep points.

 

Congrats on the job, as for leaving here, if you still have an X you still have a place here.

Maybe you can score a 25% discount for Cafe members....just saying...

 

Congrats. on the job...not a problem, kinda nice to have a guy on the inside.. LOL

 

i want a free tshirt! great publicity...i will wear it all the time too!

 

No conflicts here. Best of luck with the new job.

 

Keep on keeping on, I don't care who you work for. I personally like the owner and staff at my local Honda dealer. Wishing you well.

 

Well done on pullin' in the new job. And I see no conflict, only another valued insite from another point-of-view. Your postings will always be welcome by this member.

 

Congrats on the new job..!!!!!!

If you quit the last one due to "ethics"? Then I would want you to work on my bike.

Hang around....no need to leave the cafe. :choppersm

 

i'm sorry if i missed something along the way, but dont want to assume either.
in what capacity are you being hired there? also, the companies, corps, always have certains OP, practices, and when you sign with them, if you sign something, or if you agree with to work for them, you have to abide by how, what and when and if they do things. at times, this has affected some very ethical persons. regardless, there are always decisions one must make. having bought my bike at Rick Case myself, they helped me out one way, then when i was out the door, can't say that i've been happy camper. but with all due respect, at first i didn't know many things that as mentioned before, are brought up here, on this forum, by knowledgeable and experienced persons.
good luck, congrats and keep us posted. i see no reason, why you should not be here, but again, i have no say in that...i believe it's more up to you whether you choose to stick around. just dont tell your work what your moniker is here, in case some are on here, but they already maybe:icon_susp:choppersm

 

You have to stay now, so we can mooch that employee discount off of you! .. LOL

Good Luck!

 

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!
From what I have seen so far, I won't be getting rich selling bikes ... but if I can make a living, that's fine by me. It goes without saying that if any Cafe member comes in, I will do my best for them. I asked if they had a problem with me being on the Cafe, and they are fine about it. Monte, sorry to hear you had a bad experience afterwards - if there is anything I can do, PM me.

 

thanks brother. no need to worry. it was with the service or lack thereof. regardless that was back in 08, or 09 last time i went there. good luck, make the best of it.

 

Maybe you can make a positive difference in the "perception" about dealers...good luck and congrats.
