Crappy dealer pics
Ok enterprising members -
Let's start a thread with pics of crappy Kawi dealers. Please include a shot of the store from the outside and any outside shots showing why they are a POS. Inside shots are at your discretion. Not sure on the laws, and I doubt the dealership would take kindly to it. But would be an interesting way to provide feedback to Kawasaki bout their less than stellar members of their dealer network.

I'm not sure this is such a great idea. Again, it's all just one persons opinion. I've heard (but could not verify) bad things about my dealer. But he's taken care of me so far; I got my 10r below suggested retail, he's matched internet prices on 2 helmets, muzzys exhaust, power commander, integrated front turn signals and Lockhart rear signals. He's taken care of me pretty well even though others don't seem to like him (and they really can't seem to give a reason either). It's like me and Dodge. I've bought two new Dodges in my life and they were nothing but junk. But some guys swear by them. As for Ford's, I've bought three new fords and not a lick of problems so I keep going back. But I've heard horror stories from others about fords.
It's like this web site (and others like it). I've seen some guys talking out there ear hole about things they really don't know about. Example: there was an individual on this site who was bragging about getting a muzzy slip-on from a separate place for $450. So I called that place and they laughed. First he said they hadn't even gotten their 1st muzzy pipe for the 10r yet and when they do it would be $499 (and I didn't even ask about shipping).
Another example: swft if I came up to your neck of the woods and started asking family members, co-workers, neighbors, etc of yours. Some (hopefully) would say your a great guy, others might say yea your ok, while others might say your pond scum, whilst others might just say you're a post whore. But who's right?

DB - I respect your opinion, but you will note that I didn't say 'tell us your horror stories', just wanted some pics.

Minor threadjack here: how do you get imagestation to let you link to the photos. I joined the other night so I could post some pics on the .org, but they just say no outside links. Is there a trick that I'm missing?
Thanks.

Yah, use the 640 x 480 preview pic. You can't link to the big pics. You can also just share a link to an album, and anyone who's registered on the site and look at the whole album.
