New Dealer here in Georgia too,  Mountain Motorsports in Ellijay, GA.  A multi line dealer with many other dealerships in the ATL area.

. And the dolt can't even pronounce Guzzi!

That's doesn't bode well

And only an hour from one of the best dealers on the East Coast.

Man Piaggio really knows how to protect their dealers.  :rolleyes:

Good guy actually, and a real enthusiast. I don't understand what's to be gained by the name calling, anyway Kev.
Oh, and correction: should read: That doesn't bode well vs. your "That's doesn't bode well" .... just sayin'.

Normally a dealer mispronouncing the brand would be a red flag for me as well, but I give Kaplan a pass on that considering his background. Great guy, interesting personality. Kaplan Cycles also hosts the New England Motorcycle Museum.

He is a Good Guy and I have never met anyone so into motorcycles as Mr Kaplan is. Great museum down there.

Regardless, Kev’s point was in defense of Hamlin’s Cycle.  It’s hard enough being a Guzzi only dealer without another boutique shop selling them so close.  If they end up selling enough Aprillias and Ducs they’ll be able to give the Guzzis away.
