Owning a dealership must be expensive. How did you make it happen?

Lots of time, hard work, sacrifice, and a little luck. I started sweeping floors at a dealership in 1999.

Yes, my service manager does that.

I don’t want to get in trouble promoting my business here, but feel free to DM me.

@Howard
Cool, thanks! I’m heading out now but I’ll send you a DM later!

How are the scooters selling? I’ve always liked the idea of a scooter-only dealership, but I think margins are slim except for Vespas and high-end Japanese models.

Margins are slim for those too. I do okay with them, even though I’m in a cold and rural area. I mostly sell them with Aprilia and Moto Guzzi.
