I give credit to Harley dealers and their employees for falling over backward to satisfy customers. They likely heard a lot of bitching about rear tire life and those rounded car tires were the factory's response.
Years ago, hitting the bike shops on the weekend was a thing to do. An old-line Harley dealer who in the end refused to build a new shotglass-and-underwear boutique out by the Interstate, bought out a small failed Norton dealer, so I would get some Norton parts from them. One day I walked in to get something and the owner was standing behind the counter. He said,"You know, the worst thing about being a Harley dealer is dealing with all these f^(#!n rednecks!" Years later, they became a Suzuki franchisee, and I would patronize them for Suzuki stuff. One day I went in to get a head cover gasket and some plugs to do a valve set/tuneup and the same guy was behind the counter,20 years older, 40 lbs heavier, all gone gray and wearing thick glasses. He looked at me and said,"You know, the worst thing about being a Harley dealer is dealing with all these f^(#!n yuppies!"
So their customers have been on their donkeys forever, even when he clientele changed.
