Black Friday sale 30% off - BS
« on: November 30, 2008, 10:27:35 PM »

So, one of my local dealers had a black Friday sale, advertising 30% off all in stock items from 8-1, then 20% from 1pm 7pm.

Have to say I was disappointed but not surprised that all the racks were filled with the typical "tent sale" stuff. Lots of XS size jackets as well a a fair share of 2 and 3x.

Only the ugliest of the boot collection, hardly any rain gear NO FXRG stuff except for one nylon 3x Tall jacket.

I did manage to find headlight, spotlight and turn signal visors that I would not have bought had it not been for the 30% off.
Found a few other trinkets too, but overall sorry I wasted my time.

I did find a seat for LtBawb though, he rode down and tried it out. Got himself a nice "puffy" tallboy seat for under $200, which was not part of the 30% sale, rather it was already on the discount table at 35%.

Any others experience this with their locals?

My dealer had its 20% off on Black / Orange Friday with an email 5% additional coupon.  So if you're on their email mailer list, you got 25% off everything except bikes and shop labor, I'm sure extended warranty etc were not included.

I got a new orange and black nylon riding jacket, light weight, for 25% off of $109.00.  I bought a pair of the Kevlar riding jeans that they had to order, $59.95 minus the 25%.  They were out of my size so they were glad to order them and still honor the 25% pre pay discount.

They also had their framed pewter bike wall sets for a purchase of $250, not the $350 the MOCO recommends.  This is current through the end of the year on the pewter bike sets.

Doc's HD, Kirkwood, MO.  They have a very good selection of bikes and now have Sunday hours through Christmas from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.  If you're interested in a MSRP price deal, call for Rick Blanner in bike sales, 314-965-0166 and he'll take care of you.

Sorry that was not meant to be an ad, I just really like this place and the people are VERY friendly.  I just had my 5k service and they got my SERK rear wheel replaced for chipped and pitted chrome and the inner primary as well for flaking powdercoating.  The inner chrome primary and powdercoated were the same price so I had the chrome inner installed in place of the original granite powdercoated inner primary.  Believe me, this is a great place.

 :soapbox:

It was in the 40's on Friday when I picked up the bike, but I rode it home and then the wife and I rode another 75 miles.  At least it was fairly sunny, but 40's are still 40's.

I hope you all had a great Turkey Day and were thankful for all you have.  There are lots less fortunate.

I guess I should add that they offered to order several things I asked about for 15% off.

The dealer I went to has a wheel that local HOG members could spin. There were free t shirts, hats, oil change, and percentages off from 10% to 50%. I got my Christmas ornament, coffee mug and thermos, and a detachable windshield for my Dyna. Spun the wheel, saying I never have any luck, walked back to the checkout, and heard whooping and hollering. I had spun a 50% discount! With the discount, I went below the $350 to get the "gift" that my husband wanted, so was going to purchase more, but they said I had gotten enough at half off and that the gift was mine. Darn, more Hot Toppers and some decent wheel weights would have been great at half off! lol

Guess I got lucky then.

New Rinehart staggerds for my SEFB for 399.00. There's another set there but they are flush.
