Did GoFasters drop GasGas support?

[motogroove]

moto groove, I hate to bring up the obvious, but gasgas is not going to put much attention to a guy's comments, that has not bought a bike from them in 15 years? if you were them, would you? This is just business in our world today.

a) Were the ideas bad, or am I just bad?

b) I need a new dirt bike. Shopping now.

c) Sorry I wasn't here for the initial beating of the dead horse.

Since the Motocross center thread is closed , I'll post in this one. Having a person going to a dealer for parts is assinine. If you want to go that route, make Rocky Mountain Atv a dealer, so parts can be ordered online, quickly and easily. A dealer rarely has parts in stock, even with Kawasaki KDX, which was made for 10 years , I cant walk into a Kawasaki Dealer and get a part for it, even though it is probably one of there most common bikes out there. Dealers aren't good for much anymore, and nobody has the time to sit there and hunt down a part, calling dealer to dealer.

I think GasGas is better off going in the direction of the Tesla model, being a not so common brand, this would be better for the customer, and the company.

This works only if the customer knows exactly what they want, and exactly what will fit their bike.
Some dealers actually do stock parts; as Smackover Motor Sports did when we were in business. Being in a rural area, it gave people a reason to call us, and we shipped parts all over the world.

I know personally that Halls Cycles and Matto Cycles both stock parts, and am sure that there are others that do, also.
This new system that GasGas NA is setting up should work well. Give it a chance.

Dear Gas Gas corporate,

Please give the parts finder to all your dealers for free, so they can have it on their sites. Don't make the consumer jump back and forth between your site and theirs.

As for the parts finder on your site, I was terribly disappointed to be redirected to a page that requires a user name and password. That is not consumer friendly in the least. Everybody already has too many passwords.

As somebody mentioned above, if you could work out logistics which allow dealers to drop ship directly to the consumer from your new facility, that would be the best of both worlds. It seems like a reasonable goal, given today's technology.

Good luck ,and thanks for keeping the faith.
