Dealer Rant

I look up on the Polaris site and locate Rod's Ride On just three miles from where I'm staying and figured I'd head on down. I get close but not sure where it is so instead of driving around I stop and GPS it off my phone and find I'm just a block away. As I pull up I see it is a big place with Polaris, Yamaha, Suski signs all over the building, but no, none, zip on the Victory signs. I figure I'd go in and see what is up, just maybe they might have a Victory. I walk in and of course the attention is on the ATV's and snow mobiles, this is Wisconsin on the edge of winter after all. The next thing that catches my eye is the sports bike galore, and the helmets and the used bike corner. I'm dismayed, maybe they've quit selling Victory's and the website is not yet up to date. I look down and what do I see, A Cross Country, a Cross Roads, and a Hammer, that's it. I then notice they did have some Victory paraphanelia and rider wear but nothing I would take away today with. I was still disappointed in the fact there were no sign hanging up and the fact I strolled through the inventory, eyeballed the Victory's a moment, but not one soul said "Hi, may I help you." Maybe they know me... redpin04 Posted 2010-10-26 4:21 PM (#72408 - in reply to #72404) Subject: Re: Dealer Rant New user Posts: 4 they just recently became a Victory dealer(within the last month if memory serves). Not having anyone address you though is not forgivable. I understand no pressure, but no interaction at all? varyder Posted 2010-10-26 4:25 PM (#72410 - in reply to #72408) Subject: Re: Dealer Rant Visionary Posts: 8144 New Bohemia, VA redpin04 - 2010-10-26 5:21 PM they just recently became a Victory dealer(within the last month if memory serves).

Thanks for clearing that up, I hope things will go well for them through the winter and especially when the weather breaks.
