TE/TC TE300-wow are dealers proud of their bikes

I guessing not with Andy or Broc. I'm sure I'll buy another one in the future and give them a try again.

We bought two bikes that day and it was to be a "let's check them out" day...

I just bought a TE300 from these guys in Fife. http://www.larsonpowersportsnorthwest.com . I paid msrp plus tax, license and $150 doc fee. They did drop the setup and freight fees. Saved about $800 or so. I tried to get it for msrp out the door but I guess I'm not the best negotiator. And I guess they need to make a profit. They are new to selling bikes, mostly cars, (Russell Wilson does their commercial (GO HAWKS!) ) boats and other motorized toys. I only saw the one te300 though several others. I didn't ask if they had more.

I rode it Sunday and WOW what a bike! I felt at home on it right away, but suspension was a little harsh for the first several miles, but is breaking in nicely now. Rear is now very good and forks also pretty good, but a bit harsh for the first few inches. ( I weigh about 180 plus gear). Big hits on whoops are soaked up nicely on both ends. I was told the fork works best with the comp clicker out (soft) all the way, so will try it this weekend.

Good luck on finding your new bike, HR!

Thanx, its in the garage now, to the frame and checking/greasing/bolting on required kit and bits now!

You guys are so lucky to have off road riding in your state.

I see a couple of guys were saying Malcolm Smith has changed. I could see that. Malcolm is not in the shop much any more. I had bought quite a few bike from him, BUT..... It was from Malcolm himself. I've known him sense just before On Any Sunday was released. My avatar is a 75 CR250GP from his shop when it was a modded gas station. So mine opinion would be... find a shop you feel you can trust.... Because you will need them if anything goes astray.... On another past business owner note.... Everyone wants a deal. And I get that.... But unless you support them, why should they help you out?? Really! Just saying. I see this a lot, everyone wants to buy crap off the net, but the net can't fix your bike or install it for you if you are having problems. Even youtube has it's limitations..... Good luck with your Husky!! I really like mine and living in AZ can pretty much ride it anywhere. I don't miss CA and look forward to be putting many miles here

Were you living in Castaic, CA when you bought your Husky? I'm only asking because the dealer there in Castaic was where I should have bought mine. Very helpful and was going to give me a pretty good deal. My wife didn't know my workings with them so she bought it some where else for my birthday.

That's how it should be Jonxx..... So many of these "newer" dealers came in when the industry was doing crappy and came from the car industry where its OK to charge for that crap.....

Glad there is still good guys out there.....

When I was a dealer in early 2000s I just considered a price of doing business.... figured I's make the money on the stuff they bolted on to it..... I sold with the correct jetting installed, and bolted everything they wanted on with no labor..... creates loyal customers....
