Revzilla on the state of the industry

This is an interesting article for my fellow Chinariders to digest:
https://www.revzilla.com/common-trea...siness-webinar

I believe that not only are many new bikes just too damned expensive, but the general dealer network is absolutely awful in the US.

I do wonder if we will see the CSC and direct sales model become more prominent.

Oh come on. I LOVE standing in long lines at a Big 4 dealership, to be "helped" in the parts department by a tatted, 19 year old with an attitude the size of Montana because he thinks he's the cats meow to the motorcycle world.....and you obviously know nothing.

And then you get the wrong part, anyway! At least I know it's not just MY local shops, so... I guess...
