Kahuna closing

Re: Kahuna closing?
Just because most car dealerships don't do it, doesn't mean it's a bad business model. I understand people don't want to work weekends, but there are also folks who don't mind working weekends and having a couple week days off. Think about it...

Aye - IF you race on a track competitively. Heck, even doing track days doesn't make it a sport - that's just a hobby. The constant use of the word in the context of riding on public roads (no different than driving a car) is quite silly.

Re: Kahuna closing?
why is that?
so people who play basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis or hockey for fun aren't involved in sports? because its not paid? because it isn't their profession?
i do not understand the logic.

Wow - I just bought a 2013 Concours last winter from them and the bike is there for a warranty item. Norm (sales) is a standup guy - I would make a reference any day for him. Luis in service tries hard but he cannot compete with Pete's for tires (I compared and tried to give the business to Kahuna) and other parts. But they do seem disorganized - it took them over 3.5 months to get me a rear tire (the demo had a cut tire) and they finally got me an upgraded T30. But I got the front from Pete's which is below their cost. Who else is an authorized Kawi dealer? Snow City?

Re: Kahuna closing?
No, no. You're correct. I was not suggesting anything to do with being paid or not. "Competitively" - as in competing - one of the operative words in the definition of 'sport.' I'll concede that taking your motorcycle to the track could be considered a sport. On track days do you compete against others, or just yourself and the time? I don't know, but I do know the definition of sport.
That's all trivial to the main point I wanted to make. That being calling motorcycling a sport (in the context of regular riding on roads) is silly.

Re: Kahuna closing?
wow, thats pathetic
So we're supposed to support a place that takes 3.5 months to get a tire because someone might lose a job?
Incompetence shouldn't be encouraged in any business, and for every joke of a dealership that closes down a new one will open up if there is a demand. If they have their **** together then they will succeed, if not then move out of the way and let someone else do it.

Like I said. Don't buy, don't support even at 99% off retail.

Re: Kahuna closing?
If you consider driving your car around to be 'sport' then yeah I guess riding a motorcycle around town is also sport.

Re: Kahuna closing?
To me sport means physical activity that gets the heart rate up, exerting muscles, etc. So a easy Sun ride isn't sport, but a track day would be. You can't tell me a race car driver of moto racer isn't in a sport. Some of them have to be in better shape and exert more than some sports require.
Then there's golf....
