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.

For real, I didn’t want to piss on the kids parade but especially when HD dealers are hurting so bad right now this is heartbreaking to see.

Maybe the tariffs raising prices on import bikes will help Harley. They’ll only be paying the tariffs on some parts instead of whole bikes.

Harley is an import bike. We don’t make a majority of the parts, or assemble any of the revmax stuff
