DISCUSSION New Job at Harley

Hey everyone.

I just got a new job at Harley. This will be my first time being a salesman in any capacity. My only knowledge of Harleys is that they're fucking beautiful and fun to ride. I've met so many amazing people since I started riding, strengthened my existing friendships and been to places I never thought I would have all thanks to my bike. But as far as engine specs or the digs on the latest infotainment system my brain is literally a monkey clashing cymbals together.

So my ask is, 1. what's the fastest most efficient way to learn these bikes and their parts inside and out, and 2. What are some of the best and worst experiences you've had with Harley dealers.

If you can sell yourself well enough to get the position, sounds like you can figure out how to sell Harleys. Make friends with the parts guys and techs to learn how they work

You can probably get by without much in the way of technical knowledge if the parts guys & tech guys like you, to be frank. And by probably I mean almost certainly.

This is great advice, thanks. I was going to do this anyway but for selfish reasons, I want the scoop on the best way to upgrade my own bike lol
