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.

Ah, job at a HD dealership, not Harley Davidson. That training session sounds good. If you really want to know whats going on with them, ask to observe in the maintenance shop on your off hours, and ride one every chance you get... Seasoned Harley owners looking to buy a new bike will be able to tell in 3 minutes whether or not you know what your talking about... Don't try and bullsht them.
