Rocky Mountain MC
Just a heads up but I was ordering parts for my KX on rockmountainmc.com and just checked to see if they had parts for my Gasser. Well its not much but they have now started carrying some parts for the 2011 gasser and newer. Its not much. Brake pads and chain rollers but its a start,

I ALWAYS shop there or GoFasters...that is awesome. Hopefully they will carry more.

Just don't complain when your small bike dealers (usually the ones trying to provide gasgas, beta, sherco) go under because everybody bought from mountain, wal mart, big box store, etc. I give my dealer first chance to get it for me. I'm happy to pay extra or wait a bit. Took guts to be a gasgas dealer. I appreciate it. Oh boy am i gonna get yelled at.

I sold DRR mini race quads for a few years, and I never got upset if someone bought cheaper or somewhere else. I just figure it is all part of the deal. My business was not made or broken by aftermarket sales. Aftermarket sales sure helped, and I priced things very aggressive and sold some stuff. It was my philosophy that with a small dealer I should be able to get a better deal since I had little overhead. Worked for me...perhaps it is different now. A person should never put themselves in an ALL IN situation where everyone has to buy everything from you for you to succeed.
As a dealer I felt it was my job to provide a value added solution (not just price) and if I was forced to sell things by price it was because my value added solution either meant nothing to them or it wasn't very good hence no value...then it all comes down to a number. I understand it is some peoples passion but at the end of the day it is a business. If you can't put a competitive product out for a competitive price your business days are numbered whether or not I buy a set of shrouds, tire, or brake pads from you. It is not about being a hater or anything like that. A rich guy who didn't make as much as I thought considering his finances once told me it is not what you make but what you keep that makes you rich. I will on occasion overpay but I try not to make it a rule because it is just bad business. Everyone is entitled to their opinion to be sure, and that is mine. I will let you feel your way if I can feel my way...cool? |

It would not surprise me to see the small exotic dealers eventually go away, in the traditional sense at least. A system of regional sales/tech reps, and direct sales, parts supply could work. Lean and mean. There is just not enough money to squeeze out of this system to keep everyone happy.

My local dealer is one of the first places I go but they buy directly from GoFasters. Gofasters is a great company. Matter of fact just got a shipment from them yesterday and will still use both.
Face it guys one of the main reasons that Gassers are not more popular is that parts are not readily available like the other brands. The more places that offer parts for our bikes is a good thing. I think having a quality big supplier carrying parts will make the owning a Gasser more appealing. That means more sales. That is good for us all.
