On another note, I posted about my test rides in another thread. I was a very happy man! Tom

    Well done. Persistence sometimes pays off.
    Penny and Rick have owned many motorcycles starting in 1974 with Honda’s, then to Suzukis, Gold Wings and ultimately Spyders.

    My biggest concern is 15 lifts, mechanics all over the place and only one certified BRP mechanic. Sounds like a problem waiting to happen. Loose him and what do they do. The shop I use here in Des Moines has three mechanic's and two are BRP certified.

    Bill, he doesn't lose employees. LOL He pays then too well. Some employees are there 20 years and more! His building has three floors. Last time I was there he had 7 Spyders on the floor.

    The top 2 floors are sales. The shop is downstairs with rear access. An elevator brings new bikes upstairs after they are assembled. A full service restaurant is to the right side of the building. That log cabin you see on the roof houses all the elevator mechanical. There is another log cabin in the rear that houses the generator. Tom

    I may do that. Thanks for the info they are a Can Am dealer. Have you used them for service? How are they? Sales? Tom
