I dont bother with the buy local thing as its my money and I want obviously want the best deal which the dealer wants the most profit so both of us are in a battle. I didnt buy local but still use my mian dealer for servicing and warranty work. I havent had any problems at all and Bridge Motorcycles in Exeter have been very good indeed. Sure trade ins are appalling there as many would say but the warranty and service is great.
I wouldnt trade a bike in there but recommend any warranty work etc.
