General Discussion / Re: Well, this is a BUMMER for Portland...another Guzzi dealer closing!!

I got my 2015 V7 from them. Nice folks. There is no money in this business for dealers. the only reason the Japanese brands survive is 4 wheelers and jet skis and holdbacks.
Mfg's sell to the dealer on a floor plan so they get paid right away  after a small discount up front. the dealer then gets 30-180 days to sell with no interest depending on the deal the Mfg had with the dealer and credit co. If the dealer goes under the MFG has to take the stuff back and repay the floor plan co. So they go pick it up and pay out cash that they don't have either or they dump it at a discount to some outher sucker or auction it. don't forget there is also a freight issue to deal with.
Many states have a law that also forces MFG's to take back all parts too. The poor dealer will be stuck with the trades and most likely will be screwed on warranty claims.
Problem for Guzzi is they are running out of dealers to suck up the inventory.

He has purchased stuff from Lamontsanfurd, orphan motors, guzzitech, and BSAnut, and those guys are legit, even if the posting is not.....  Perhaps they could verify the ads, assuming anyone wanted a bike at those prices......

I didn't realize that sellers can get feedback for selling AND buying.  (I went and looked at some sites which talked about ebay scams)

If you follow this guy's Feedback Profile link on the 159 Stars (100% positive feedback) found in the upper right corner:
You'll see that 0 of that feedback is from selling.  At least that's how I read the Feedback as a Seller tab.  If you click on the Feedback as a Buyer tab, you'll see 181 entries.  So all this dude's feedback is from buying not selling.

I'm still abusing the crap out of an 1986 honda SRX200SX (I think i got that right) I bought 20 years ago for $300.
Flush out the brakes and put in an inline clear fuel filter. It'll run forever.
