Beagle and I were at BIGG's in San Marcos CA on Saturday. They used to have hands down the best H-D clothing section of any dealership within riding distance for us. The entire section was wiped out and in it's place a tricked out Camaro. One of the salespeople told us they were going to start selling "Muscle Cars" on consignment. "Good idea don't you think" he said. " I think it sucks beyond comprehension" was my response. I went on to explain to him just how much money I had spent on jackets, chaps, rain gear, jeans, boots, shirts, sweatshirts, hell even H-D socks at BIGGS over the years because their clothing section was so well stocked and complete. "If you guys are this hard up, you'll be locking the doors within 6 months" was the last thing I said as I walked out the door. Now maybe I'm not a businessman, but getting away from your core business as a method of keeping your core business seems more than just a little off-base. AND, we all know what happens when car people sell (or try to) motorcycles.
