Well twist my arm!!!!
« on: May 09, 2009, 04:53:29 PM »
  What do you think of this?  My dealer asked me this, "If I give you one of my new 2009 rental bikes for a week at no charge, will you break it in for it's initial 1000 mile service?"  He has 6 Dressers and thought maybe I'd do this for a couple of them before the rental season starts.  I'm pretty sure I said' "Hell Yes!"

Picked one up last night after work.  Brand new Ultra Classic had 3 miles on it.  Didn't have much time for riding last night but it has 122 now.  The weekend ahead is supposed to be good weather (lower 60s) so I told them to schedule the service, I'll turn the bike in Monday.
 By the way, this was my first chance to ride Harley's new touring frame.  I have to say I LIKE IT!  Didn't open her up too hard in the turns yet but she seemed very stable in the turns and mid turn bumps produced no rear bounce and wobble effect that I've seen in various degrees on all my 08 and earlier Touring Harleys.   Will be able to make a firmer call on it all after more miles, so I'll keep working on it.

I've been enjoying a demo ride every day and she's all mine. Well I guess eventually the demo ride feel might wear off but until then I'll ride it like I stole it until its broke in.

I'm sure there is a hotel close to the dealer and we all could use a vacation in Montana!!!  If it gets too tough for you, I could help you out.    :2vrolijk_21:

I was at the dealership in Reno yesterday and saw an ad they have for The Ultimate Demo Ride.  You rent three bikes of your choice for $120 for the day.  They have to all three be ridden on the same day.....it's $120 for the day.  I thought that was a good deal for those who are new to Harley or to a particular model and just aren't sure which one to get.

JCZ,
That is a pretty cool deal for folks to get to try out three riggs.  They had a demo day at the Red Rock HD in Vegas when I was there on the weekend of their grand opening and even had a CVO ultra for demo rides there.  But it was a very short guided ride.  I don't know if it works every where but at our dealer  they'll rent you one of his rentals and if you buy any bike within 30 days you get the rental price (up to 3 days worth) credited back to you.  I think it's within 30 days, could be more.  I've been offered a free test ride more than once.  Hell, I test rode a brand spanking new Gold Wing 50 miles before I ended up ordering one of a different color.  And I told the dealer I didn't want the one I rode before ever I rode it.  Small town thing maybe.  You know, "Where everybody knows your name".

Well I turned this one in this morning with 1189 miles on it.  Only had a couple of evenings and the weekend of decent weather but it is broke in for the first service.  Rode 483 Saturday and 389 Sunday.  I do like the new 2009 frame and other changes.  Whew, the work is never done.  Gotta run another 1000 off on one this week.  Doesn't pay very well but I love this job.  Not really a job, but if it was I think I'd take it.  Yeh, I want to be a Harley Test Pilot.  Where do I apply for that?

Terminator, tell your HD shop to convince the Dallas HD shop to do the same program.  Pretty sure I could sign up for that too.  You're one lucky hog...

Well turned the second bike in with 1015 miles Sunday.  Monday drove the truck (took daughter, wife and son-in-law along) to Vegas and Grand Canyon North rim last week.  Stopped by the dealer today to see if there was any news on the CVO Ultra.  Supposed to be here next Thursday (11th).  Shop owner says he has another Ultra that needs broken in if I want it for a week.  Guess I'll have to take him up on it tommorrow after work.  Better get the yard mowed early this week.
