There will be a lot more of that in 2014.  Way more than what was done in 2013.

Competitive Cyclist was blowing out Castelli gear not to long ago.  They've got them at 15% off now, just in case you need some.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Don't know him personally, but his dealerships aren't exactly known for treating their customers fairly.  Go check out Cycle City, everything is marked up way over MSRP...I'm sure he's pocketed more than his fair share of returning GI's saved up combat pay.

When I first got here in '75, I seem to recall that JN Chevrolet was off limits because of the way they were screwing over service personnel with financing, etc.

They were on the frowned upon list when I got there as well, in 2007.

I heard a rumor yesterday that South Seas Waipahu was closed.  Might just be a connection there. JN wouldn't need two Harley and two Kawasaki outlets.  What about the Triumph folks?

That would suck.  I always liked the guys out in Waipahu FAR more than Bill and crew.  In all honesty, Will was the only person that kept the Honolulu shop worth going to after Chad left.

Wow, that would mean of the five motorbike shops in Honolulu, three would fall under the JN umbrella...Domenico's & Cycle Sport being the other two.  I've got a feeling that the price of Hondas, Ducs and Beemers is going up...you should be able to source a Yamaha from Domenico's...

Yes..... but then one would have to deal with T.C.  Not the best deal either.  If the prices go up then that might create extra incentive to buy from the mainland.  So far as I know the prices on Kawasaki's and Aprilia's aren't outrageously high.  Marked up over mainland MSRP, that's true, but no higher than the South Seas markup from what I recall.  I shouldn't be looking at new Ducati's or new BMW's anyway.   Roll Eyes

So, in a way, this leaves Montgomery Motors Powersports.  Got to root for Brandon, Kim & Laydon.    waytogo

Give it six months to a year. It'll have all kinds of leaf cover again.  This was a potted Ficus tree that iived in an apartment living room in it's early years and was transplanted to the back yard after the house was built.
