 Posted: 23:33 - 26 Apr 2021 Post subject: Today I have Mostly . . . |
 |
|
Today I have spent a few hours in a Honda dealership. Not the type of Honda dealership of my youth, but a modern, corporate owned & almost clinical environment sort of dealership.
Oh, fukkin deary me.
I am, as you all well know, an incredibly stupid & arrogant b#s't@rd, that also happens to be an immensely successful & immensely wealthy retired businessman.
Where did it all go wrong? At what point did Soichiro san slap his nod of approval on this shower of shite?
Whilst the staff were all very professional & very, very polite, they also outnumbered any potential customers by 2 to 1. In what must be a £1.5MILLION investment I counted 10x staff. 8 of them I would not invite to re-apply for their jobs, I eyeballed only 2 that scored high on my casual checklist & I still didn't get chance to speak with the bloke that does all the work . . . Who I really needed to speak to, yet they won't let him anywhere near their customers.
I'm off to my back street independant, who arrogantly insists I STFU & puts the kettle on whilst he sorts it. ____________________ I clean my guns with the tears of the snivelling, left wing scum. |

Yes but what about the cars/bikes?
Your character assassination of people you barely know (we're aware that you are well-practised at this) is pointless without a description of the vehicles that they were clearly only employed to polish
Why WHY WHY WHY were you looking at a Honda showroom anyway?
I understood that one only meets nice people on a Honda.

I don't give a toss about the however-fuckin-many bikes, I have three and a half myself at last count (with very little effort) ... so it wouldnt take much to acquire 32, 35 or even more (!!) I'm currently being tempted by a cute lil GPZ500 as we speak.
At least he knows he's an arrogant and stupid bastard
But he knows how to put the kettle on and that's all that is required of a chap sometimes.
God, I wish I had a beverage slave  ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Just to go back and attempt to extract some usefulness from the original post...
I got the Rebel from Tippetts, Honda dealer for over half a century but that went in the bin for the aforementioned sickeningly antiseptic corporate makeover. When I got the XSR the only difference between the Honda showroom I went to and say Ford would be the number of wheels on the vehicles. The soul had been taken behind the chemical sheds and shot  ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

That will have been the "flux" episode, CBF125 I believe.
I've never understood where these companies got the idea that huge, sparkling but soulless showrooms and service would be a good idea. But I don't think the flux episode was through that type of dealer, more an old school type...seems you can't win. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
