Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by Hashbrown on 07/13/10 at 10:16:50 man you really drank the kool-aid. loud pipes are awesome! rejetting makes you feel like a real mechanic ;D Helmets are for people who want to be a vegitable after an accident, and believe me dealerships are about as friendly as strippers and for the same reasons ;) |

I beg to disagree. I was run off the road several times by people cutting me off in my first 2 years riding. I put my screaming eagle muffler on last year it has not happened since. They might not see me but they hear me coming. Even deer in the road scatter when they hear me coming and they do so well before I get near enough to them to cause an issue. |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by Phelonius on 07/13/10 at 12:10:48 Every time you enter traffic, you are entering a combat zonewith no allies. Every one out there is going to try to do you in either through stupidity or malice. Never expect another driver to do something merely because the law says that they should. (for instance, obey a stop sign) Wearing a firearm will make you more visible than loud pipes or loud color clothing. Phelonius |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by bill67 on 07/13/10 at 14:20:27 Motorcycle dealers are like every one here trying to make a living,How would you like to pay their overhead,Look at the salaries they have to pay out a week,And you expect them to just give you something,Next week tell your boss you will work for nothing just to be a nice guy.How would you like your boss to let you go because another guy will work for 50 cents and hour less than you.When Wal mart starts selling motorcycle you can go there and save a little. |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by james may on 07/13/10 at 15:08:20 I would totally buy my cars and motorcycles from wal mart. I'd much rather save money than help some wackoff pay for his kids to go to college!! Paying more for a product becuase the company treats their employees better is basically welfare. Hey don't compare strippers to salesmen. Salesmen are scum.. Loud exhausts deffinately save lives. |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by jef.savage on 07/13/10 at 19:39:12 I appreciate that you shared this as what you believe, rather than know. my comments: loud pipes dont save lives but they do help you get noticed, and they don't have to be obnoxious to do so suzuki oil and filter every 3000 miles why Suzuki? if 80mph is not good for you get a bigger bike agree rejet carb waste money rejetting is choosing to spend your money for a ride that you enjoy more. Not a waste if you're enjoying it. reg. gas will do absolutely this is the right bike for me only you can judge that boots cloves full face padded jacket and pants every time I ride do you eat the cloves or wear them? after the winter of not ridding take it slow for a time agreed but you need a spell checker when ridding watch everbody trust no one If you want me to take you seriously you've really got to improve your spelling this is a very good site agreed if you take care of this bike it will take care of you true of any bike 8548 miles no problem that's just barely broken in I like my dealer I have nothing against dealerships but way too many just aren't principled. Glad you found a good one (sure hope I didn't misspell anything) |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by WD on 07/14/10 at 16:33:09 Some dealerships are in fact decent places. I absolutely loved Suzuki City in Biloxi Misissippi, bought my Savage there, had its first service there, could get whatever I needed for an "ancient" GS750T the same day 90% of the time... Now, I live within 20 miles of 9 dealerships that carry Suzukis. On a good day, I MIGHT be able to get a tire from them, but tubes, sparkplugs, and other consumables? Forget it, special order only. I know 2 that would buy oil filters from me (Emgo brand), repackage them in OEM boxes, sell them to an unsuspecting rube (customer, sorry), keep the box after "servicing" his bike, and repeat it the next time they ran low on filters. They'd get tubes and plugs from us too, retail at the indie shop was less than OEM wholesale to them. The last time I dealt with one of them, I asked for a starter relay, payed my money (plus tax, special order fee and such), waited 3 weeks (they never bothered to call when the part came in, watched them write a received date on the bag when I showed up) and was handed a starter solenoid, not the relay. Had to keep it, no returns on electrical, even electrical the parts kids mis-ordered. So, **** them AND the crotch rocket they rode in on (from the trailer lot around the back, gotta "look" the part when they show up ya know). What I know is TRUE about MY Savage: I have more fun "messing it up" than i ever had with it stone stock. Looks better, runs better, sounds better, fits ME better. My name is on the pink slip, the only opinion about that bike that matters is mine. Oh, and I still hate full gear. |

[/quote] I beg to differ, Big box stores like Wal are by far the largest employers in the US today thus creating more jobs then all mom and pop type stores combined. This backlash of competition is the invisible hand working to drive down prices which benefits the consumer. Most large stores only carry one line of in house products like Walmart's "Great Value" the rest is still the same products you would buy at local shops. The reason for the cheap prices is that Walmart is a price maker to its supplyers and operates on razor thin margins. So your not really getting cheaply made products. In times of economic turnmoil, these companies provide customers the best bang for their buck which relaxes an individual's monetary spending and helps stimulate growth in the economy. If you had to pay a premium on everything you bought while your out of work, you would be living on ramen noodles and basic cable. Im not saying that mom and pop shops need to go out of business, there are plenty of people such as yourself who will support them and they are justified on their prices if they produce a specialized product, but don’t expect the masses to negate the basic economic priciple of self interest. As my boy Adam Smith so eloquently put it…". It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we can expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest" |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by Hashbrown on 07/16/10 at 09:23:38 meh...i said it was great for the consumer, maybe not so much for the employee but whatever at least its a job. better to have walmart pay them rather then Obama. where else can you get a steady job with benefits (albeit crappy) as a mentally and phyically disabled person. your only job qualification is the ability to say hello. ;D |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by WD on 07/18/10 at 10:31:08 Depends on how you land... When I wrecked in 2/08 my faceshield ( police riot helmet type and a 3/4 shell) did it's job and saved my face. When my wife Trish got t-boned on her Harley in 95, the helmet weight broke her neck and killed her. Not another indication on her that she had even gotten hit. I'm not fond of helmets, hot, heavy, smell bad after a couple years. But they can be a benefit. I prefer to ride without one, can't in this nanny state, so be it. |

Title: Re: What I believe to be true. Post by justin_o_guy2 on 07/19/10 at 08:54:37 The 1st bike I totalled I had no helmet on. IF I had, I woulda died. The last timne I crashed on I had a helmet on. If I hadnt, I would have been kelled or permanently injured when my face slammed into the back of the pickups cab. If I had had the full coverage, my face would have been crushed. So, ya pays yer money & ya takes yer chances. |

The hard shell was slick enough that my head squirted out from under the wheels like when you press your thumb down on a large marble. Stunned but not dead is better than having putty squirt out your mouth and ears. Phelonius Besides, it is a good place to hang a face shield. It is better to see bugs splattered on the face shield than try to look at them swimming inside your eyeball. ;) |
