Calling all practical jokers!

A couple friends work of a local dealership and they are treated like crap. Long hours, 8 days on, to take 1 day off, etc etc. Then they have the general manager breathing down their backs threatening their jobs all the time.

So anyone want to help screw around with them for us? :devil

All we want is for people to call the dealership and ask crazy questions. Be creative, but ask for any department EXCEPT parts!

Call for service, sales, receiving, make up a department....like leasing, or the rental office, hell they sell generators I think, ask about them.
They carry Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki. Street, dirt, and waverunners.

Examples:
- Ask what the cost is out the door for a '03 R6! (Sales)
- Ask if they rent bikes. (Sales)
- Ask if you can arrange for a test ride of the new Kawasaki Z1000. (Sales)
- Ask if they service Honda cars also. (Service)
- Ask if they do in house financing. (Sales)
- Or say you own a window cleaning company and you want to know if they would sell you a '03 Honda 400 EX and let you work it off by doing the windows for them for 5 years. (Sales)
- Say you are an assembly line worker from the factory in Japan and you had an accident and lost a finger and the bike you were working on was supposed to be shipped to their shop. Can they look in the crate of an '03 GSXR 750 for you finger. (Service)
- Say you have an F2 and you were wondering if you would see a performance difference if you bought the new '03 Honda CBR 00RR this year over you bike. (Sales)
- Ask for the leasing department.
- Find out what their return policy is on their dirtbikes. (Sales)
- Ask if they paint bikes? Or reapolester seats. (Service)
- Ask for the general manager and ask him how he got to the position he is in cause you were looking to get into the field also, what schools did he study at, degrees did he get, whatever, make it up.

Come up with as many off the wall things you can but try and actually talk to someone for as long as they will tolerate you.
Don't ask if they have blinker fluid and hang up.

BUT!
If you call, post here what you asked or said and how they responded or how it worked out for you. Also so 10 guys don't call and ask the same thing.
Help us out if you think you are a comedian. I know there are a number of you out there!

Who me???:burp

[nags]

I work at a dealership.. I work 10hrs a day 6 days a week. 100% commission. It licks nuts. Anyone got a job for me???

[SpeedyCycles]

Ok. I called and tried my best to write notes real fast. Here is what I can remember:

Frank (that's me)

C (I don't know if I should type his name)


F: Hi, I want to buy a bike to learn to wheelie.
C: (Laugh) What? um, ok. You want a CR250.
F: What is that?
C: Dirt bike. You need to learn in the dirt. You will get FUCKED up on the street. I used to roadrace.
F: I heard an R1 was a great wheelie bike.
C: YOU CAN'T KEEP THE FUCKING FRONT END DOWN ON THOSE THINGS! You are gunna get really hurt on one of those. You never want to do a wheelie in 1st gear on any street bike.
Use 2nd, 1st has too much torque.
F: What about those guys that ride them really slow and high?
C: They have really good balance. Those guys that do that stunt shit do special stuff to their bikes.
F: So no 1st gear?
C: You will fuck the bike up. We also have some used 929's. A gixxer 1000 is crazy fucking fast, that does wheelies Fucking crazy. We have brand new ones on the floor.
F: No kidding. '03 already?
C: No, '03's are not here until next year. Or, all 600's will wheelie. You don't want a 900rr because they burn the 3rd rod if you do wheelies on them and Honda knows this and will never warranty that.
F: All I know is my goal in purchasing a bike is to be able to wheelie it.
C: Yeah, there are stunt guys around here that just tear their shit up. Stunt guys are retards. I used to race, now I race carts.
F: So stick with a dirt bike? Is there a Honda 4 stroke dirt bike that is good for wheelies?
C: 450F
F: What is that.
C: 4 stroke. The worst is you may bend a bar, or break a lever. The guys jump these things 120 feet! You aren't going to hurt these things. You need to come down and check one out, my name is *****.
F: Cool. Do you have '02's on the floor
C: Hell no, these are '03's.
F: Oh, ok, I don't have to wait until next year like the Gixxer 1000? Ok, how much on the 450F?
C: $6,399.95
F: WOW!! That is crazy, for a dirt bike? Oh man, I would rather pick up a good used street bike.
C: Well the Gixxer 1000 is almost $11,000.
F: thank for the info man.
C: Yeah, come down and see me, Again, my name is *****.



Is this somewhat what you are looking for? That was pretty damn funny, prolly a lot funnier than typing it.


Frank

[SpeedyCycles]

Also, those were semi-abbreviated notes. I talked to him for prolly 10 mins or so. Nice enough guy. Know-it-all, racer, etc. typical. I was really surprised the said "Fuck" as soon and as often as he did.

Frank

Tell me he didnt swear that much!!!!

[SpeedyCycles]

Yes he did, and I made it a point not to cuss. He did not have much to say about racing when I said "Wow, racer !?" Since I know tracks, sanctions, other racers, etc. I somewhat prodded with no result.

Frank

[GautamCity]

someone should call saying they want a dirtbike to take to the race track!
ask for slicks on it!

[skinny]

How about if I call about snowmobiles! Do you guys sell a lot of those there? HEHE

I'm actually kinda impressed with that one - I'm surprised a road racer knew that one Even if the 900 RR is pretty much the stunters industry standard.

[Lucky~13]

lol, I'm always up for a practical joke! I'll get a good one for ya.
