GRRRRR!!! I was at a friends place for thanksgiving lunch/dinner earlier. Had my car parked on the street and the host needed it moved so they could get their truck out. So what do they do? Grabbed my keys from the key rack, move the car and curb the right rear wheel!! Now I've got to get the red stripe touched up/fixed.

Yea, I was less than impressed.

I do think they still have that bike down there, as a riding buddy of mine was talking about buying it. But they were asking what, $12K for it? That's a bit steep in my opinion. Especially so when you can find so many sweet deals on brand new bikes over in SoCal. Hell, I just bought a left over '08 Super Duke from the LA area for less than $8500. Factor in that it only costs $600 to ship a bike from San Diego to Honolulu and you're in business. Never again would I consider buying a bike from the nit-wit dealers on this island.

Not at all! Will, the guy who wrenches on all the Ducs down there, is super cool and understands that the sales section of the dealership shoots themselves in the foot all day long. My SC was purchased out of state and (other than oil changes) Will is the only person who touches it. He's a good guy, be cool to him and he will be cool with you. Also, Sean (the new service manager) understands the game as well. It's sad, because the only bad thing about that place is the actual bike sales section.
