moral of this story is that when it comes to accesories and such you will always find them easier and cheaper on the net, the dealer can't compete with this,
the dealer has them there for you to try on but can't possibly compete with a wharehouse of just helmets and such sold cheaper... simple as that.
the OP forgot this and thought "they would give him a deal" it doens't work like that. you should have known that, so crying about the helmet being too expensive is just the classic buyer beware next time. live it and learn.
Typically when you buy an expensive bike, one gets something thrown in, or better treatment in the future. This is not an exorbitant request.
If I'm buying a Ducati from a dealer, and I see a Ducati shirt I like, they *will* throw that in. Or they'll give me a discount on gear, and they will most definitely fill my tank and throw in a key fob if I want one.
If they don't? I'll find someone who will. They are a dealer-they should not be surprised by people apending 15K or so asking for them to knock something off the price of a helmet or similar things, especially when it comes to a whopping $50. It's not enough to whine about-it's the principle of the thing. I'm giving you my business by choice-help me out, or I'll find someone else.
