I do buy a few things online - I also try to support my local retailers/dealers when the cost difference is reasonable. Tonight I ran home and loaded my sled on the deck for what should be one of the best rides of the season. Forecast is for a blue bird day and we have a lot of untracked snow over here in SW Idaho. Once the sled was up on the deck, I gave it a once over and ended up looking Murphy straight in the eye. Front track shock locking ring came loose on the last ride and the adjuster backed off - so ended up losing the top retainer. I called Carl's Cycle (damn I am lucky to live in Boise) and they did not have one in stock...... Lucky for me, I have been doing business with them for a while (maybe that mattered, maybe not) but they told me to head their way. By the time I got their they met me in the parking lot with a retainer so I could ride tomorrow. Humbling to think that they hung out and rounded up a part just so I could ride tomorrow, there was no money in it for them (I did leave a tip).
Getting ready to call it a night so I am ready for tomorrow, but wanted to share my thoughts. Driving home from Carl's made me think about the future of our dealerships and how lucky I am that we still have them.
Cheers/Ride Safe/ have a great season,
Chris
