Didn't Bite On CVO Trike

[jonfjr]

It is all about marketing now days. Never mind all of us old timers that never left the Motor Company even in the bad days of the AMF years that seem to be slowly coming round for a second bite

Jack,

I hope history doesn't repeat itself!

It's my first Harley and I am very pleased with the customer service that I have received thus far.

While waiting for my traction control recall to get done I was wondering around Ft Myers dealership (Rock Star Harley). Of course a new white CVO Trike immediately caught my attention. Soon after the CVO caught my attention, I caught the attention of a salesman of course.

I tried to make it clear from the start of our conversation that I would NEVER invest over $50,000 in a motorcycle. He kept throwing out little hints....."we have had this one for three weeks"....."it is getting close to the end of the month"....."I could get the paperwork done and get you on the road in 30 minutes"......you get the idea.

Finally I told him my Tennessee buddy had a deal to trade his 2017 Trike on a white CVO for $24,000 difference out the door. This didn't make him flinch. He insisted they would make me an offer I would trade at.

I came really close to suggesting a trade of my 2019 Trike and $10,000 out the door, which I was pretty sure he wouldn't take. But then I started to worry that he might come close to that figure so I cut off the conversation before it was too late.

Next time I have to take my TG in for something I'm waiting outside!

Joe, I started a thread on Bike Week 2020. Let me know if your interested.

"Who all is going to the 2020 Daytona Bike Week. Friday March 6th to Sunday March 15th. I am looking to set up a ride if we can get enough bikes. I also have a lot of parking at my shop for trailers and 4 wheelers if some need a place to park for the week or just a few days. Let me know and I can start setting up something."

Couldn't do a ride Peter since I am about 3.5 hours south of you in Florida. Let me talk to a couple of my TG buddies who are in the same resort here and see who may be interested in attending. Thanks!

I only go to the track for a while to check out the vendors and maybe a quick run to the beach to see whats up. I am not into the crowds either but enjoy a good ride.

500,000 plus bikes. Too many for my old sense of humor, too.

I'm a couple hours south riding on bike week maybe a bit longer, but I've been there many times, nothing changes, yeah lots of people and motorcycles, not impressed, I don't do that any more.

I have a local friend who has gone to Bike Week and Biketoberfest every year for longer than I can recall . . . and he stays for the entire week. I've been once and once to Sturgis during bike week. Honestly I just don't get it. Having to contend with large crowds, traffic, overpriced everything is just not what I enjoy. Now if I was 'local' to the area I might pop in for a morning or afternoon just to check things out. But to travel 000s of miles, no thanks.

I much prefer the times I've been in these same areas but not during the events. Then I can really enjoy what the area has to offer . . . and oh yeah, the rides most of all. Just my $.02.

[bikerbillone]

Oh yes, at one of the 'entertainment centers', $6 for a can of beer, plus the 'big tip'. Nope, I've seen it all, I'm done.

I did not ask to go to bike week just a ride with members. Meeting some of you guy would be great and the event attracts a lot of riders.

Understand and certainly meant no offence. Hope those of you who are local can do so.
