Howdy,
<rant>
In need of a new rear tire, I called my nearest dealership. For
a rear D205 on the VFR they quoted me a hefty price of $185!! That did
not even include mounting. After calming down from my laughing fit I
explained to him that the same tire can be had for something in the
area of $100 online or by mail order. He had no comment. Good grief, I
just saw a fellow VFR lister post that Chapparral sold him a set for
just about $200. And the dealers complain that everyone's business is
moving away from them, no wonder!?
