It warmed up here in MD. so I took a looooong lunch and the r65 with  the voucher to Annapolis harley/buell dealer. They made me wait for a salesman 15 min. to write down my name and phone #. ten mins later he came back with a skull cap. I asked where the neck warmwer was and he said "this is all we got" . "You wana buy a buell, Ill give ya a helmet".
 I knew it was marketing strategy, but do all harley salesmen have to be jerks too?  [smiley=cowsleep.gif]
 I like my beemer, and when it comes time to add to my herd of bikes Im sure it aint gonna be from them.
I had to sell my beemer to pay uncle sam :(

I guess it all depends on the dealer, I had no problems getting the neck warmer, shot the breeze with the salesperson, asked some technical questions about the Buell, and he had no clue about anything mechanical.
