New shop
I've posted this subject once before and didnt get much response so I thought I would ask again. I have access to a bunch of money and want to open a shop carrying a major brand. Preferably Kawasaki. I had a deal going to purchase the local dealership but it has been put on hold for a few years. I am going to contact KMC directly but thought I would try to open a door here. If anyone knows of a shop for sale ANYWHERE or any other kind of business opportunity associated with motorcycles, boats or toys in general I would really like to speak with you. I apologize if this is not the proper place for this post. If it is could admin please delete this post, notify me of the correct place and please accept my apology!! You can contact me at jtyler@bodyheat.us

hmmm.
This seams a bit far fetched.
I have access to a bunch of money and I want to open a dealership.
What kind of business plan is that.
Have you considers revenue, operating capitol, inventory, ect...
This sounds like a pipe dream.
Keep us posted.

I called the main number and a young lady called me back. When I spoke with her she said she would forward my info to Travis?? I dont have his name and number in front of me but he has called back. Area code is 916. That is Sacramento. 2 hrs from me. I will try him again on Mon.
