Joehoward Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 This has been rumored for some time now. I knew the dealership was for sale. I also wonder who the new owner is. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiantoo Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Dealers and everyone involved have been slapped in the face 4 times, and building trust to the point of becoming or staying a dealer is going to be hard. They are not only dealers cause they love motorcycles, but also wanting to make money. Support,info and acess to a dealer is my questions. I really hope polaris has the time to get a track record and gain the trust of us loyal enthusiast. The dealership i worked for was a Pontiac dealer and was in it for the money. She had deep pockets, but was a dum ass and did not cater to the same people she wanted to sell to. This is the stigma that is viewed by most motorcycle riders towards Indians dependability. People will buy if they see them on the road and not on this forum on how to fix I REALLY want more dealers so i have acess to, and be able to take it to a local Indian dealer. I have nothing closer than a days trip to get to one. ( unless some one knows one closer to St. Louis ) Some don't stay open long with the swinging door of the owners. I WANT THEM TO MAKE IT SO HD GETS KNOCKED OFF THEIR GOLDEN PERCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkrider Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 this is first I've heard of it. I could send a email and ask but I'd probably just get crap from you guys if I posted whatever I was told. If it where me and I lived in the same town of the Indian dealer in question I'd probably just stop in and ask 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper38 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Gee. I don't suppose this could have anything to do with what'shisname's stint in the news not so long ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Hayne Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Well to be fair, he did that case dismissed & acted as his own lawyer.......I'd guess no matter what, Polaris being in Minnesota would want the Twin Cities dealership to stay whether Art owned it or someone else. I also know a bit of other info, but was told to keep it under wraps. It started back around July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also know a bit of other info, but was told to keep it under wraps. It started back around July. I had no idea the issue had been resolved and agree that Polaris probably would benefit from the dealership remaining there. I was just curious if there was any relation between the two issues. And you're not talking (don't blame you though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No relation with the 2 incidents......both completely different although both are shady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Hayne Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 New info is IMTC is also a Triumph dealer now. The 2 new added owners, based on last name, are family to Art. He also attached a picture in his latest news letter holding his baby next to Gary G and he says President of IIRA North winds Chapter with IMTC new owner. Hopefully a step in the right direction. Only God Knows...... Like I have said very few dealers left. If the Peace Pipe is there its a start. Just knowing some of the history, it will take more then a picture & some may never get along. As for the issue I had mentioned I'd have to speak with Mark as it was out of my hands for months now. With the latest newsletter sent out I'd say it must be a non issue. So it seems time to either mend fences o4 just ignore Twin Cities based on each persons feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
