A dual sport gives you a better field of vision lessential confined. That's my preferred choice.

We have sold a ton of new titans this year with all positive feedback. Sitting at about 50/50 of people needing the electric even when it was really cold. The few updates they made really corrected short falls from last year. Even adding a cold weather kit.
Only gripe is they fit different if you have a skinnier egg shaped head.

Has anyone run the rototek one? I'm pulling the trigger on one today
Used one for a year storage was handy. They are big though. Only real negative was the heated grips weren't very effective

Hmm... the world is changing. How do you explain Wayfair.ca... no store front but sells lots of things for your home, online only. Personally I wouldn't buy furniture and not have the opportunity to sit on it etc. but like I said the world is changing. A friend of our sells all things wedding related online only. Never had a store front ever. Most of what she sells is shipped direct from the manufacturer / distributor to the end customer. There are others that have warehouses but never had a store front. I used to buy all kinds of technology here in Canada from resellers that never have had a store front either.
I wasn't referring to other retail. I was referring to powersports related retail.
Yes all other retail a different story.

There is an increasing number of retailers that simply don't have a store front. The online world is increasing. You don't need a store front to get setup. Some retail operations don't do anything other than pass an order through to the distributor for shipping and handling with the product being shipped directly from the distributor.
If I recall correctly Royal began operating out of the owners garage.
Might want to read what wrote again.
To get setup with a Canadian distributor you must have a store front. Sure there are some ways around it by going to the states. But even then alot of the big distributors down there first thing they ask is pics of your operation. Fort9 has been a bit of an exception but apparently they had a store front at some point.

Want to beat Royal? Start a competitor with better pricing, one day delivery, and free shipping on any order (think - Amazon). With no storefronts and only warehousing...... could destroy them. Oh, and accept returns no questions asked.... (looks at the battleaxe in the Innisfil
In order to do that you would have to avoid Canadian distributors out of the gate as that is one requirement. Must have a store front to get setup.
But that is also part of this issue. Royal has been using the last part of their name to bypass Canadian distributors.

Always thought Royal slashed the price of products to get the sales. Make up the difference on volume. Hard for small dealers to match Royal's price. Most do it just to keep busy.
Thats pretty much what they do and can because extra discounts they get with volume. MAP has been around awhile buy starting to get enforced more often especially by alot of the US companies. Each year we sign a contract to honor map with different suppliers. We can sell for whatever we want within store. But advertised pricing has to be on an even playing field.

the two vehicles I owned in the 80's!!!
My buddy owned a niva. Put it through its paces and it broke alot.
We took a trip to the UP Michigan it got alot of attention especially the fact it was Russian. We were at some event and starter gave out. Of course they come with a hand crank. So he got out and cranked it over. I was beyond embarrassed but I couldn't believe the crowd around it.

We sold a few days before tax implemented but it was already slowing down because the market was being flooded with new listings.
I was talking to an agent the other day and asked if alot of people walked away from deposits. He said no, alot of people renegotiated the price. I guess the other issue for those needed to mortgage alot got held up because they over paid.
We are patiently waiting for the new house.

That bad eh? Or you need to seek help lol
No it was a nice truck. Just not me. And to properly set it up for a better towing experience would have taken a bit.
Got $23000 off the titan and they gave me $52000 for the ram.
I went gas titan this time very happy. Maybe 1 L/100km worse on fuel then the ram and weighs over a 1000lbs more. A very stable tower.
Yes maybe I need a little help.

I barely had my ram limited a month lol

Any modern half ton has more than enough power. And if you're gonna say something regarding wind drag, it matters little. Especially on a V-nose. If your little Fords can't tow an 8.5 wide trailer, you really need another brand of truck.
We all laugh at the guys who show up with 7' trailers, fucking around, reversing and slipping up the ramp, stacking them on top of each other...... Lol
When most provinces and states allow 8.5 wide trailers, and sleds are 4' wide, it makes no sense to get a narrower enclosed. You will notice no difference when towing unless your truck is a dog, except for the mirrors.
Might be allowed towing 8.5 wide. But have to check town rules storing an 8.5 wide. We are allowed 98" max width.

It's a lot more when you work in that 6.7% financing if your not buying it with cash.
I got a 302a.
When I was looking a couple weeks back you give up $3750 of the discount for .99% Finance. Or a bank rate should be around 4.6% if you do the cash deal.

Also not sure how you can get a new trade in every 6 months without a loss.
I have it down to a science.
It's only been the past two years since US wholesale caught on.
Last deal the sales guy and I went over previous deals. He shook his head saying don't know how you do it, but you have done well.
