Sorry I'm not good at the name thing....  but hours of operation.  If possible, stay open until 6:00 in the evening during the week, and 2:00 of Saturdays, and a few hours on Sunday.  I usually work to 5:00 - 5:30, so getting to a shop that closes at 5:00 is out of the question. I am one that rides when I can, usually without a lot of notice, so a few a shop that is open later and for a few hours on the weekends, always get my business.

I'm not positive if they do or not.  But it is definately something to look into.  Alot of companies look for other people to stock their supply to save on shipping.  And also to get their name out.

thanks everyone i apreciate your honesty :wink:

the last shop i worked for i was the parts manager, so i have all of the reps for the venders' personal cell phone numbers still. that is the part i am not worried about.

that right there was the base of the name. my little lady was telling me what she would do in the shop...  :wink:

I do have to agree w/ cam on STX. it would make a better looking graphic for a bike. hummm how smart is it for me to write all of this at work with IT guys checking everything???  :evil:

 I bought my new 04KX500 from the shop that,six years ago, hunted down left and right engine cases for my 82cr250. They went online to a parts locater, found one in California and the other in South Dakota. I had both cases in less than a week. Now all the other  bike shops said " part discontinued sorry "  So when it was time for a new bike I decided to try them. They told me that 04 was the last year for the KX500. They went online to a dealer inventory locater and found a 500 in Eastern Ohio. Had it in a week. 
  It is the little things that the dealer does that earns my loyalty.  I have a Kawi dealer three minutes from my house, but will buy my nexe bike from a dealer who is an Hour and a half away.
