BRAND NEW HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE

I’m in the Harley dealership waiting on a customer to pick up his brand new Harley Davidson that is going straight to the shop with me to be customized. Actually you might say that the motorcycle is being personalized (wrecked) rather than customized.
Not that I'm complaining about the money I'll be paid for the paint job or installing the accessories, but this guy buys a new model,adds lots of paint details and accessories that are his taste alone and turns around and sells it. I can tell you that those details on a used Harley motorcycle for sale do NOT add to the price because the new guy has to pay to have the bike repainted, etc.
Meanwhile, I’m getting a taste of what it feels like to be the customer rather than the owner and wondering what could be done to make the wait less boring. Should I hook up a router to the computer so that my customers can work on their laptops rather than wear their thumbs out texting (or blogging via cell like I’m doing right now)? As irritating as texting can be, a roomful of people talking on cell phones is worse. Maybe I should buy a big screen tv for my office so they can play video games? Who am I kidding; I want to play Guitar Hero at work and any excuse will do.
Ok, here comes the guy who just bought that brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle and even though I’ve been waiting for the best part of an hour he looks to be in a big hurry and he’s going to be ticky.
Why would anybody mess with a new motorcycle when the new Harley Davidson models look great?
