Derry Cycle appeals to the squid market.

I wanted to see what prices they had on helmets.. Their top of the line helmet manufacturer was HJC. (now I race w/ an HJC but lets be honest here.. they are a good helmet but no Arai or Shoei)

He had absolutely NO leather jackets anywhere insight.

So as I was in there looking around last night and all was well.. The owner came out and starts feeding details about how he is going to dress up a brand new GSXR-1000. This particular bike is Black and Yellow. He had the yellow/black fade micron in hand (which I am fine with) It was when he said that he was going to swap the front (bridgestone) tire off for a yellow Tomahawk tire.. Yet leave the rear stock bridgestone.

I asked him why he would do such a thing? He said cause it looks cool.. (umm its my opinion that it is GHEY) but to each there own.. I then asked him if he would be liable for an accident related to inconsistent tire compounds F/R due to 2 different manufacturers specs and a tire that was not on the bike when it left the factory. He basically threw me outta the place telling me that I didn't know what I was talking about.

Umm.. ok.. I dunno what I'm talking about.. I only worked at a dealership for 3 years. Anytime we "set up" a bike off the show room w/ exhaust,wheels, flush mounts etc, it was a zero mile, titled bike. Also, it is an actionable position if a dealer changes tires, brakes, chain, sproket or other mechanical device on a motorcycle that does not comply with manufacturers standards. I guarantee you that the local suzuki rep would have a shit if he knew what this guy was about to do to this bike.

So if you are a squid and want to buy your next Gixxah, wear your hat backwards, lock your arms puff out your chest, and all in all want to look like vanilla ice on a bike then by all means go to Derry cycle. If you are a rider that cares about saftey over looking cool then purchase your bike else where.
