Hell, I rode my supermoto out there from GR a couple of times. That is a ways on basically a dirt bike.

I am not buying the 800 stunters in GR either. PM the website where they hang out if you would. Thanks.
I don't think he said 800 stunters...800 Riders/Stunters...
I had to drive from Holland. in my Damn Van to Muskegon. Now that sucks ***. Only one way to get there.

nah 800 riders stunters...www.grstreetriders.com (i think) i read it a long time ago....Yeah man my friend and 2 other guys we went riding with to the Michigans Adventure parking lot and rode all day there it was way fun til my friend reved his bike to 8Gs and popped the clutch and 12ed it like 50 feet before he fell off...HAHA!!! good times. But yeah im hoping this all gets alot better most of the manufactures are being bitches bout everything like building size and there isnt too many buildings right now for lease so we are kind of stuck...Oh well we will find something.....I hope!

no offense guy, but shouldnt you have done some research before trying to get the loan and a building? seem like you need operating info before you do anything else

See, now you are talking. Get a big enough warehouse-building so you can have riders on the fiftys inside in the winter and your business grows.

Ya know what, I got to thinking. If we got all the riders in the area together we could throw up a hell of a bldg for two months rent for you. $16,000 will build a hell of a pole barn with cement floor. $8,000 in this area will get you a 30'x40' if you have it built. If you do the work you can do it a lot cheaper.

Might be a good way to get your shop started. Plus with all of us helping build it, you can pay us back by letting us ride in it in the winter.

start out as a used bike dealer, repair, parts, accesories shop.
Then you can sell what you want it just can't be brand new. Also buy used bikes from people. offer them a certain amount. get the bike spice it up a little wich won't cost much cause you'll be getting parts at cost. Then bump up the resale price alittle.

You will get alot more repairs and service type stuff if you charge less than a dealer. Which means more business.


Theres a place like this in the next town over from me that I always go to, I never go to the dealer anymore. The people here are very nice, honest, and very helpful with any thing I need.
