A Concrete Decision

[MrSurly]

Another *Gorgeous riding day but, alas, this is me today
(Fishing for sympathy)


So anyway, I'm reminded of this thread not because of the home repair but my little rant about the local dealer, which changed hands recently and is now called Roughneck HD. I rode by there yesterday to talk with my parts guru about some hard-to-find widget and the place was as busy as I've seen it, with *almost* as many customers as salesmen. While we were talking, suddenly a PA announcement (I didn't even know they had a PA) "are you ready, Roughnecks?" And repeated like a cheerleader and the crowd answers YEAh! And then " we want to welcome Mr. XYZ to the family, with a 2016 Street Glide Special!!!!" And then EVERYBODY hoots and hollers, a drum is banged and, bells ring while every member of the staff simultaneously blasts horns on a dozen bikes on the floor for like ten seconds!!! My Lord, what a cacophony!!!
It was a flashback to Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor! While I was there, they did this TWICE more!
Obviously, they're doing something right, but all I wanted was to GET OUTTA there!
Surprised the most, by the other customers' participation, I then fully expected a flash dance or at least a line dance to the Cotton-eyed Joe.
