Scottsdale AZ | Here is another example of an accessory out there that was almost impossible to find. --In the Gallery Chuck has photos of his blacked out V and one of the things he had was a blacked out dial/instrument bracket. I posted a comment on where he got it etc. He sent me a PM and said he got it from the dealer who had it in stock. He thought is was Polaris/Victory item but wasn't sure. I went to both Vic and Ness Websites and found nothing. I sent him another PM and found the part #, called ness, nothing, called Polaris and they found the item under dealer order only. Called two dealers none in stock, didn't even know about them. Called Chucks dealer and one is on the way from them.
My point is I don't think we even know what is out there with Polaris. The lady I talked to at Polaris admitted only 15% of what they have for sale is on the Victory Web Site. ???What??? --and- most of that is dealer only purchase. Hello!!???Makes me wonder how much money I have saved by the poor marketing and communication of accessories between Victory and the dealers??
I know I had the same (now remembered) experience on my other Vics that I wanted to bling up ---

| I am using the new LoJack. If you bike gets moved without the keyfob within distance, it emails, phones and pages you to check on your bike. I periodically test it when I have to move the bike in the garage without the key. I get a phone call and email that I messed up =).

Richmond, Virginia | Marketing 101 Harley Davidson
For the last 5 consecutive years, the Harley Davidson has sold more merchandise in their retail stores than they have motorcycle units
nation wide. What does this mean in true numbers?? Simple MORE people wear HD crap then own an actual HD bike.
Thats a lot of wanna be's, wish I could's, and someday hope to's. Compared to 96% of all Victory merchandise is sold to Victory motorcycle owners. We might be a mere 2% but we're real. |

Even my wife will exclaim from time to time, "I've never met anyone like you!" I just say good, I've never wanted to be like anyone else. Well, maybe my dad, he's a one of a kind guy himself... and his odometer will be turning over to 82 years old in a few days... |
