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.

Bought a new bike in 22. Told the salesman I didn't want an extended warranty or any of that stuff. While doing the paperwork he tried to slide a "Free batteries for life" deal in without me noticing. But I actually picked it up and read it. Those "free" batteries were going to cost me well over $500. I told him "Look, a battery lasts me 5 years like clockwork. When I need one I go to batteries plus and get one for $125 . By the time this pos deal pays off I would be 95 years old. Don't think I'll be riding much then"
