Some saturdays at the end we would barely take enough to pay the staff for the day and cover the running costs,

Not trying to add fuel to the fire here but as many of you may know i am a salesman for Kawasaki, over the years we have seen many shifts in shop activity. Years ago you would 100% open saturdays, mondays would also be very busy with people ringing up to order parts and book in bikes for punctures etc after weekend rideouts. These days however, its during the week when a lot of our trade is done. Today for example i hardly spoke to anyone yet during the week sold 3 bikes! Certainly saturdays are a dead duck for us these days.
As for DMS......100% spot on shop every time!. Only 2 weeks ago i put an order through via the internet, at 7pm i recieved a phone call to say my order had been dispatched (i certainly know that my shop was closed by 5.30!) the parts arrived quickety quick as they always do.
Many thanks for your service chaps and chapess!
