[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1289648, member: 14779"] Yes, you're missing the motivation for the thread. And I'm missing it too. I did not start this thread. I posted in response to another person's post in the 2016 gajillion page speculation thread about the new Gen IV FJR, which the Admin's consider to be a Gen III. But that's neither here nor there. I made the comment that rather than buy at D&H Cycle, I would prefer to support my local dealer. And I gave as the reason that I like the local dealer for service issues. So I was willing to pay a premium to support the local guy. Someone posted what was essentially the argument that you owe nothing to the local dealer and can walk in and ask for service even when you've bought elsewhere. I agree with this. But it is not my style to cut the local guy out of the profit from the sale while at the same time expecting good service after the sale. In any event, if this was to go to NEPRT, which obviously it has, why not take about two thirds of that thread to NEPRT. I guarantee that at least that much of the thread is worthy of NEPRT. Some of the most idiotic and space wasting posts that have ever been conceived are in that thread. But what do I know? Not much ... [/QUOTE]
