 Posted: 14:18 - 24 Jan 2008  Post subject: Common biker "Jokes"... |
 |
|
When walking into a dealership and confronted by a salesman simply asking if you require any assistance, please refrain from the following replies:
"Only if you can convince the missus!"
"Not unless i want to get divorced..."
"Depends, any of them are free?"
"Well, if your giving some away...?"
The list goes on... I hear these "jokes" 3/4 times a day! They arent "new", they arent "original", and most certainly are not "funny"!
So next time, please just give a decent answer of "No thanks mate, just having a browse."
Also, while im on the subject - sitting on a bike and bouncing up and down on it against the rear suspension vigorously, does not give you a true feel for the bike!

Well, if you want us to stop making jokes to you, you should stop answering with a joke when we ask you to give us a part-ex value on our current bike!

Top Tip:
It has now been confirmed.
Don't waste time joking with a bike dealer.
They are devoid of humour.
Cheers for that Method. 
Don't ask, "Do you have any bikes that aren't Stolen? Or do you only have these trade-ins?"
(Speeling Chequed and korrektid for you matey!)

I smiled when reading those, if I go into a dealer I'll use at least one from now on
I can tell this is going to turn into a 'people V bike salesmen' thread

to be fair, some people are shy
someone on here complained a while ago, that they had gone into a bike shop and walked around a bit, and no one had asked them if they needed any help.
Feeling neglected and unwanted they then left although they had wanted to buy something

Like the one I get at work(Waitrose) all the time when I'm tidying the shelves at the end of the night.
"I'll just mess this up for you" * Customer takes product from shelf*
It wasn't funny the first 200 times I heard it.

[quote="colin1"]to be fair, some people are shy
I,m very shy, I often go into our local dealers after extracting a few grand in used 50,s and stuff them in my pockets with a few draped out just to tease the salesman into having a preconseption that I may buy that 9grand Ducati which is just gathering dust and depreciating by the second.
I love mind fucking salesmen!!!

Two bikers wandered over to their local Harley Dealership and one pointed at the window and said
"There's the one I'd get"
and a Cyclops came out and beat the crap out of him.
I'll get me coat........  |

It seemed to be an appropriate place to tell it as Bike salesmen usually only have one eye and its firmly kept on your money. |

Two lads on a bike in winter, the passenger says, mate pull over am cold, rider says, turn your jacket inside out you'll be fine.
Few miles later, they come off,
Rider wakes up in hospital and says, what happend? Doc tells him about his RTA, he then asks about his mate, the doc says,
"well to be honest, he hasnt said anything since we put his head the right way."
I laughed.

And the answers to the questions are.
"Only if you can convince the missus!" well when she is over later I will have a word for you
"
Not unless i want to get divorced..." see above.
"Depends, any of them are free?" yes to a good home... to you sir that £7,995 OTR.
"Well, if your giving some away...?" thats how we stay in business SIR
