I walked into a local shop today for the first time to check out his business. Speaking to the owner who was I'd say in his early 50's, he was tell me about all the various used lawn mowers, snow throwers and other yard maintenance machines he had in his yard. He also had about 10 used motorcycles prominently displayed near the road that he was selling on consignment. He himself is a long time rider of mostly Harleys and had done some drag racing with one he showed me that he had inside and was working on. He asked me what I was riding and after telling him about my '02 Wing he said "yeah - the new ones are really something - even have air conditioning!" Not wanting to contradict the owner who I was meeting for the first time, I played along like I didn't know they had become THAT advanced.. I don't think he was testing me; he really believes they are air conditioned. So I just took his card, walked away and wished him well. I don't think I'll be doing business there.
Edit: To be clear, this was not a new motorcycle sales outlet. It was used various yard machines etc that also happened to to be selling used MCs on consignment.
