I think Sean missed an opportunity there at the end... after the girls pulled out of Moonshine and rendezvous'd with Klauss and the guys, Sean could've retrieved his phone, returned the missed calls and been like, "Dude, WHAT! Two women rolled up tryna sell MY KNUCKLEHEAD??" 🤯
@@BikesandBeards Good people :) That's nice to hear and btw I like the proverbs you usually mention. I strayed away from Christianity because I was forced to sunday school and I don't fully agree with everything, but the words you cite are usually very true.
seriously, I was not surprised at all to find out she's married. She seems like a very nice and pleasant person. Even better that her husband works in the service department at the same dealership
The first girl who looked at it is an incredibly personable saleswoman; I went into that dealership a few weeks ago b’c I’m considering switching to cruisers, and she was completely helpful.
@@RobertWynn-t1u She looks to be like 20 something and sells modern Harleys. Why would she know anything about a 85 year old motorcycle? She's not a collector. She did great considering she obviously doesn't see them all the time
Why would you even try to drag that out though? Drive up, get out, shake his hand and say, "You're awesome man. We're doing a video about business honesty and you passed with flying colors."
yo, that very first girl, i was immediately thinking oh here we go, then she started talking and explaining some of the history in coloring book words. and when she was like "i would not take it to a dealer" :) there's hope for humanity
absolutely ... it would have been great to see his reaction. why drag it out so awkwardly long ... they already showed that they would have handled the bike sale very fair and correct so there was no need not to resolve it
@@BikesandBeards It would be cool to see you give him credit in person. He definitely deserved it. I'm sure he would appreciate it and a bunch of your viewers. Ride safe though, thanks for the content
Absolutely love that first sales lady, incredibly helpful, honest, and loves to share knowledge in a way folks can understand. Praying that she receives all of life's blessings, great to see wonderful examples of humanity.
I had a 78.5 shovel in 02….. they stared at me Llke I was speaking Chinese…. 2024….. I have a 98 evo ….. They stare at me like I’m speaking Chinese…. How can someone have a harley tattoo and not know wtf and evo or Shovel is?? 🤷🏼♂️
"This is like an episode of pawn stars" - Agreed, and that's no compliment. By the way Greg, I'm down with respect for the law, but that's my flag you're taking liberties with. Just saying.
As a long time viewer I can't say that I liked this video. It had a creepy vibe about it. Most of your other vids were miles above this one. I guess chalk it up to experience. It did make some dealers look good, especially the last one.
Agree, but mostly for the ending for me. Not coming clean right then and there kind of left a bad taste. The last guy 100% stepped up and treated her fairly.
I had a very good friend that had a 93 heritage softtail he inherited, knew nothing about bikes , asked me to come look at it, I told him not to sell it for anything less than 6000 .a guy he worked with tried low balling him on it before he talked to me . Long story short , he kept it for 3 years and because I was honest plus got it running for him, just cleaned the carb . He ended up gifting me the bike .
My neighbour told me once he wants to sell his sidecar two stroke(its the newest in my vids), and he asked me if i can help him with pricing it, it had papers and like all parts, bbut needed some engine work, later he offered it to me for half the price they were sold on ads at the time, and i rated him honest value, but he decided other wise and was happy i made it run later and seeing me driving, i still have it
@@ROT4RYfc3sno one likes clearly obviously set up videos , sort of being portrayed as real or catching people out but their not catching anyone so sort of a waste of time to watch 😂😂😂 watch this set up video only made for view ….. hmmm…. Nah pass til the bike review or actually content 😂😂
I don't understand why he was being sketchy. 'You gotta get out of there! Find a reason to get out of there!' No dingbat, you need to just drive up and say 'surprise!' You're a celebrity in this world, what is wrong with you?
@@BikesandBeards maybe some day you'll go back in another video and talk about that😉? Probably get the owner of that last dealership to go over what he was thinking and if he had issues in the past with stolen bikes and people bringing in historical bikes to sell.
As soon as the guy recognized it as the exact bike he was trying to catch the people who clearly stole your bike you should've called it and come clean
Yeah it is weird he didn't just come clean. Instead he is acting like they must escape... which means if the police were called they are wasting police time. I don't understand why he couldn't just say it was an experiment for a video.
My brother in law rides his bike everywhere. In January he left Kentucky, went to Texas, TN, AZ, here to NV, CA, CO and everywhere in between. He visited family everywhere. He ran out of gas once, a biker in a truck picked him and the bike up, got him gas, fed him and showed him around. Another time on the trip, he had a flat, same thing, the shop had to order the tire so the man that picked him up, put him up for two days, took him sight seeing and took care of him. There are places all over America called Bunk a biker that will let you stay at their place for free. Very nice community.
Shout out to both the first lady and the last guy. They both kept it 💯. The one guy tho that offered 10k and then fully agreed after when Sean said this bike is worth like a 100k lol that was pretty shady lol.
Sean's EQ is through the floor. That dude got defensive because he knew he was caught and started lying through his teeth about not knowing much about the bike and Sean bought the lies hook, line, and sinker. He actually praised the dude for trying to scam his fake seller!
I can't believe you didn't show up at Moonshine. You know dam well Jamie was going to stress about that bike being stolen. Stuff like that has guys not caring about stolen stuff!! I know if someone showed up at my shop I would absolutely lose sleep over it. Faith in humanity works in both directions!!
@@BikesandBeards I had a feeling you reached out to him but really my comment were for the ones who don't follow you all of the time!! Keep up the good work!!
@@BikesandBeards Jamie is a good guy, so are the others that you went to. I've been to all of those places, except the first one, and they are all really decent people.
Coming up with this idea to deceive people is very cringy especially for a man that claims to be Christian. Wasting peoples time with a fraudulent attempt to trap them is not very nice. Doing this to get views on his YT channel in order to earn more revenue is cringy as well. Thats how I feel and I don't apologize about feeling that way.
Then he also tried to confuse her by saying the cash guy will try to go lower but stay firm at $10K like he is doing her some kind of a favor. VERY SLIMY confusion tactics and he knows it.
Zero background of the bike, no idea if it runs, no paper work... id say 10K was probably all he could get in 10 minutes.... so not that bad I highly doubt it he would put it as a 100k bike in his mind but he knew it was worth more than 10 as is for sure.
Cringe. I don't like these troll / wasting people's time videos. If Sean had rewarded them for being good, honest people, that would have been a cool video, but that's not what this is.
Yup it's sad a channel of this size goes around wasting peoples time with cringe staging. Not to mention the absolutely horrendous AI generated filler... Editor must have been "busy" generating those instead of rotating the ceiling van shots..
I would argue that he showed people that they can truly trust these shops. And he gave them exelent publicity. Yes he took up some of their time. But they all came out looking very good and that will help them in the longrun. This video might as well be an advertisement for all of those shops. For all of them to be in the video with their faces shown, chances are they signed releases allowing it. The girl backwards in the ai generated cobra was funny. I think he kept those shots upside down to be funny too. Knowing his style . Now if he exposed the dealers to be dishonest , that would have wasted their time and not given a reward. But instead he rewarded them by showing people that they are shops that are honest and trustworthy places that people can be comfortable deal8ng with.
Female in the beginning is definitely is a wonderful Christian & she was definitely trying to protect the woman. Incredible integrity & heart of Christ
Being a Christian has nothing to do with it. I'm honest to a fault and a non-believer. There are millions of Christian who are anything but good all the time.
Funny thing is I just got back into bass tournament fishing this year since 1993. Fishing a lake in northern Indiana as a non-boater I witnessed my partner catch two 3 pounders back to back using a KVD 1.0 sexy shad crank bait in 48 degree stained 5 foot water. Now I have a deep diver in sexy shad color and I've never caught anything on it as well. I met my fishing partner at his place and we drove to the lake together. When we got back from the tournament, he wanted to show me how he made some homemade baits. I noticed he had some lures still in their packaging on a pegboard hook that he had been successful with. To my surprise, he had 5 packages of those KVD 1.0 in sexy shad. He touted how much success he's personally had with them. I guess he can say it's his confidence bait. I've personally had more success with a Bandit 200 splatterback. By the way, he won that tournament and all but one this season and is the club's top point leader and he just won the MLF bass tournament on the Detroit River.
What a small world. Bumpass is my local Harley store, the marks in the parking lot are from my friend Caden's stunt show...The guys at Hoonigan are friends of mine, have been featured on my channel, and the place you swung a U-Turn was my shop. Very proud of how my locals and friends handled what ya threw at them. Middle Tn is a special place, and those guys (and girl) are part of what makes it so great.
To be real the Hooligan guy was all quick to run in the shop to call his buddy to bring 10 grand knowing "HE" was the low baller at 10. And then reassured her do not take less from his buddy because he knew it was worth 40 of $50,000 minimum. And then Sean pulled up and he really changed his tune, and you could tell he was on the hook. I respect that it's your buddy but that guy really didn't pass.
The guy at Hooligan knew exactly what he was doing. He tried to do a quick deal with cash before she left. The best thing was what Moonshine did, but he did nothing like that. He was telling her others would low ball her for less. He also didn’t argue when Sean said it’s worth $100k or $30k if left tied to a tree. He knew and we know he knew.
NOT ONLY THAT, THEY WILL LIE TO YOU ABOUT IT HAVING EQUIPMENT IT DOES NOT HAVE! in 2006 i bought a 0 miles 2006 ultra classic in a southern state, i had called around to get prices. the salesman told me that the ultra classic could not be bought WITHOUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM, AS I WAS SAYING I WANTED THE SECURITY SYSTEM. i ended up sending a $5,000 cashiers check and ordering the accessories i wanted installed on it! when i got there, the accessories were still in the boxes back on the parts department shelves. i bought it and rode over 500 miles home TO HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS.on the thing. not only was this bike a PIECE OF CRAP, IT DID NOT HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM. I PAID THE BIKE OFF LESS THAN 1 WEEK LATER BY DOING A BALANCE TRANSFER ON MY BANK OF AMERICA CREDIT CARD, FOR A MUCH LESS INTEREST RATE. my local (perryville, arkansas) dmv had to call the dealership and threaten them if they DID NOT OVERNIGHT DELIVERY THE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN TO THEM, AS THE NEXT DAY WAS THE LAST DAY ALLOWED BY LAW TO GET ME THE TITLE!! i can drop the names of the dealership and the salesman too, but im keeping them close for now, because IF i ever see that damn salesman again, im burying a 8 buck harbor freight hatchet in the top of his ........! im an OLD MAN, a PSYCHOPATH (DIAGNOSED BACK IN 73 OR 74, AND LIFE IN PRISON DOES NOT SCARE ME, I LIVED THERE FOR 10 YEARS ALREADY!
The first girl was good and did right buy them, but the last guy is a real one. Middle guy 100% knew and couldn’t do the $10k deal quick enough, very shady. Moonshine completely stepped up. Willing to take the bike in, research it and be fair to her. Also tried to protect Sean when he suspected it was stolen. Just wish Sean had come clean and not rushed her out of there.
On the last dealership. Why not just drive up and ADMIT they got ya??? PRIDE? Be honest, be truthful just like the last dealership WAS being. JESUS CHRIST son, honestly!
That second shop was all set for highway robbery..... he called and had money enroute to make SURE that the bike didn't get away. If she would have said yes, he would have creamed his pants!
Sort of, he really didn't get a good enough look at it though. Ten grand but he really didn't know anything about it and it could have been mostly all reproduction parts or just a shell of a bike or stolen and so on. Ten grand is still low ball but not that bad if what was actually there was only worth 20 grand or was stolen and worth the now negative ten grand he put up for it. Without documentation anything that looks old is a very big risk to buy. It's why he was the only one to actually make an offer and why the offer was so low. It was also cool that dude was fine with it being a hidden camera bit once he realized what was going on.
@@paulkersey6283 he couldn't because it is a restoration bike in all actuality. He knew what he thought it was and made an offer based on that assumption, but he still knew he was taking a risk. Without any paperwork, without the bike running, and so on, he was hoping it was what he thought it was based on her story saying it was a barn find. Is that bike worth 100 grand, to the right person it is, but only because so much of it is original and or period to the bike. Now, everything on the thing could have been from different bikes from different years, it might not run, might not be able to ever run, at which point it would be worth twenty grand maybe if you parted it out at swap meets. He knew he could make money on it, not how much money he could make. Once he knew it was Sean's bike he knew it was worth as much as he was dreaming it was worth.
@@willernst2721 like sean said if it was chained to a tree for the last 60 years and all the parts were mismatched and rotten and the engine was seized it would be worth 30 grand, that guy was already spending the money he thought he was gonna make, he just didnt know how much
9:35 waisted time of her working day to PRETEND to sell her a bike for your video and gave her a single hat of your own merch in return. wow! your so commendable! What an absolutely selfless nice thing you've done!
It was 20 min. And now people in the area trust her and that dealership. It's great publicity. People like you complaining on behalf of someone else, it's pathetic.
So the first dealership woman is a great employee to keep she just built a trusting relationship with that potential customer by not lying to her she’s a great asset to that dealership
She did, but what about the last guy? He did the same and even went much further willing to research it and then even tried to figure out if it was stolen.
I'm wondering why Sean let the last deal get out of hand. Either the girls or Sean should of just told him that they were sorry and just trying to prank you for a youtube video.
The woman with the pink top is absolutely the sort of person you want working in your dealership. She's honest and friendly and I hope her boss appreciates her!
This story and bike is so similar to our actual story of how a thief probably passed a 1938 Harley that was owned and restored by my Grandfather since 1940’s, in Oklahoma. After he passed my Uncle took it to his place in Atlanta, Georgia area, where someone thought they needed it worse than our family. I helped Grandpa restore it and would love to get it back, but we never had any luck finding it again. It was restored back to as close to original as he could remember and traveled the United States to gather parts for it. Frame was black with red tank , there was a couple things that made it a little unique if we ever got the chance to find it again. I always envisioned riding it and displaying it with the 1937 farm pickup , which I have and working on restoring now.
It's bizarre to see the fake stuff my kid watches on UA-cam transition to adult content. No thanks. When you do this to real adults it just comes off as slimy.
@@fzxio_ well smart guy we can talk about how confused you are later but the fact that you see no correlation between setting people up and being slimy tells me exactly what most others already know. And sorry to ruin your gotcha moment but no most grown folk don't watch or enjoy fake content. Enjoy your cartoons.
Feel like this coulda been a 5 minute video. Way too dramatic. Woulda made more sense to just tell the guy it was a joke and move on. And compensate him for the time you wasted. Especially since he was really very honest with her on price and helpful with his research.
@@JJstayfly who cares, they took time out of their day when they couldve been helping others or servicing another clients motorcycle. Not to mention the expertise and honesty that they all exhibited. I hope they got paid, at the end of the day it was a waste of their time for the benefit of Sean's video.
Like salesmen never waste your time when buying and they say let me go talk to the owner and see what kind of deal I can make you. You sneak behind them to see them just go to a hallway and wait 20 minutes and then come back out to say he said this. Yelp they never waste your time.
She has no documentation on the bike, no key, and dude never got more then a slight look around the bike. Is ten grand low, of course, but giving away ten grand for something the might have been only worth 20 is standard dealership practice. Really, he could have told her he'd give her 2 grand or four on trade in value. Ten grand was low ball fair for the risk he knew he was taking but you could tell he went that high because he was excited at what it could be.
@@willernst2721or he could have done exactly what Moonshine did, but he didn’t. He tried to do a quick deal because he knew. He didn’t argue when Sean said it’s worth $100k or even $30k if tied to a tree. The fact that he could have offered even less doesn’t absolve the fact he still lowballed her.
@@stephfran9761 for defending someone? Also, I said it was a low ball offer, typical of a dealership. I just don't like to hop onto the Internet hate train every time someone says 'get him!' I explained what I thought about the matter, in what I thought was a much clearer way then Sean did with the video as a whole, (you know, the whole bit about different things being worth different amounts to different people and all).
@@seashackf1 yes, once he knew for a fact what the bike was he agreed with Sean about it's value. Again, without paperwork and it actually running the value of that bike could not be judged, at all. Not to mention the value of that bike is subjective, which is the entire point of the video in the first place.
G'day Sean, this episode was an absolute banger, mate. But I will say, the bike dealers/ shops that looked over your 36'-37' Knucklehead, seemed quite honest and reputable. At least none of the bike shops tried tossing your "sister" $3k along with a "Goodbye" and "Smile" for your Knuckle!!! Me and the missus truly enjoyed this episode. Good onya Sean. Well done mate. Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.
the coming clean is usually the best part of a video. stretching this out and acting like you had to get out of there was not for me. i am sure you wanted to know. haha.
Credit is given where its deserved. 1st associate (Female) Was reasonable and upfront in sharing she had no idea what the motorcycle was worth. In her credit, she offered to have the bike sold under consignment once a reasonable price was determined. 2nd Person: I honestly dont believe he was aware this was a 100K bike, but he was aware it was rare and worth more than 10K. I cant blame him for being uninformed as most Harley guys wouldnt know what a 1930's Harley is worth. To be clear, your not going to open a black book and find a value for something this old. 3rd Person: Totally Professional. He knows this bike is potentially a very valuable bike and wants to determine exactly what he is dealing with before making an offer. It's not uncommon to find bikes modified to look like something their not, and when the small details make such a difference, you want everything to be known prior to offering a deal. All in all, Moonshine Harley deserves alot of respect in the manner which they handled themselves. Hopefully, in knowing the bike personally, they contacted the police and asked if there was a case open for a stolen bike.
since this is your newest video ill post here but you have had me in tears on quite a few of your videos giving people bikes and helping people. there is no greater feeling then riding. i ant rode in like 5 years finally got my self a new bike waiting on title so i can ride and your channel brings me such joy
Kudos to the lady at the first dealership, she was honest and helpful. Kudos to the other staff at that dealership as well. Also to the dealership that was willing to do the due diligence before making an offer and research the bike. Too many dealers are shysters and would've tried to rob these ladies blind.
I'm surprised none of them picked up on how properly it was strapped down. Most people who know nothing about motorcycles would just throw a couple straps haphazardly across it.
I love you 'doing something nice' for someone, but not disclosing what it is. And that's not even sarcasm, it being filmed makes it feel fake so quickly, so I respect that.
About 20/30 years ago in Los Angeles a lady was clearing out her father's garage who had recently passed..it was packed with stuff/junk..under all of it was a old car..she called the junkyard and said she wanted it gone..the tow truck from the junkyard showed up and payed her $100 bucks and took the old car..it was all over the news..the father had worked as a security guard in the 60"s for a rockstar..and this Rockstar had purchased 1 of the ford GT 40's that had dominated Europe when ford beat Ferrari in Europe..only a few survived the European circuit..he bought it and drove it as his personal car..he got in so much trouble with tickets and lost his driver's license doing 200 mph in Los Angeles freeways that he gave the car to his security guard who put it in his garage..ya.. that was the car she sold for 100 bucks...the junkyard put it for sale for 1 million..she sued them but was out of luck..she sold it fair and square..
1st girl was spot on, said it was worth a lot, tried to educate the seller, started at $50s'k without even checking it over or looking up lists, offered to sell it on commission (the more they get, the more they make). Dealers have overheads too. 50-70% of list price on a complete unknown, no keys or papers, garage find, non-runner, is a fair offer, when she could really have taken advantage.
That last part didn't feel real, because why not just talk to him and clarify? It smells like there's a beef between the two of them, this 'Jake' and Sean. Also, using a "100k" bike is too much, because like the last guy, they're going to smell something is up and it goes from earning a good payday to getting cops or feds involved and then you're down whatever you paid for it. There's a difference between trying to scam someone and getting the best deal you can and like it or not, people might even have reasons that necessitate they do it. Point being... it's not that well thought through :)
I think the 1st girl was a cut above in integrity and helpfulness; but everyone overall was decent, considering having only a rough idea about the bike at first. Even the seemingly lower offers were acceptable; because buyers need to acquire an item with enough meat on the bone in order to make a profit if they resell it; and with anything, there are always the unknowns, that could incure even more unexpected costs when restoring it. These deslers were great; no lies told, no swindles, and great customer service. I'd purchase a bike from any of um, and have confidence in the deal.
I have mixed emotions about this video, using deceitful means to test an individual's or business's integrity just does not seem very fair to them or their time that's wasted.
@@rweber5332 If you the honest person gets ripped off by a stranger, do you think that interaction would have 0 influence on you? You are human. We all know you would be influenced by deceitful dishonest interactions.
@@TokenTombstone no one is getting ripped off that’s the point. He’s not selling it regardless. And an honest person would Not approach with the intention to deceive either. Don’t offer an unknowing young lady 10k for something she doesn’t know the value of, and you know to be worth a hell of a lot more. An honest offer to potentially purchase the bike would not be deceiving the seller either.. even if they aren’t truly willing to sell it. that’s the point. Deceit wouldn’t even be a factor in those circumstances.
Yeah, so what? It's the lords work. (Insert maniacal laughter here) He chucked some witnessing in, so it's still business. As much as I jest, I wouldn't do this, as I am an atheist with a moral compus. I'll stop now.
Yes another bike rider will stop and help if you are broke down. In 2000 I purchased a new Roadstar for cash had it decked out before I picked it up (pipes,saddle bags, you know the drill) type of stuff. Was taking my girl at the time for a weekend in the Tenn. Mnts. and after stopping to eat the bike would not start. It had less than 600 miles on it and I could not understand what was going on. The starter was spinning but not engaging. I had the starter off in the parking lot trying to figure out what was wrong when another rider drove up in his truck with his family leaving the same eatery and asked if he could help in anyway. I called the local Yamaha dealership and they told me to bring it in it was under warranty so nothing to worry about other than the weekend I had planned being ruined. The man that had offered to help went home and came back with a trailer helped me load it and then took us to the Yamaha dealership. We dropped the bike off and were told that it would take a couple of days to fix. I asked about nearby hotel or motels that they might suggest. Mike (the good guy with the trailer) told us not to worry he had us covered. My girl and I spent the weekend with him and his family at their rented weekend getaway location in the Smokey Mnts. and had a great time. My bike was ready Monday afternoon. With many thanks to Mike for him going out of his way to help, (we became friends that weekend). We spent many other weekends riding together in the Mnts. of Tenn. and Kentucky. Sadly Mike has passed on and I am no longer able to ride due to medical issues and age, but yes bikers do help other riders. Needless to say I rode a Yamaha and Mike was a Harley rider but to us 2 wheels were 2 wheels no matter what brand they were we all understand what it is to be riding, we know why the dog sticks his head out of the car window lol.
The kind, truthful lady in the pink shirt should get a raise for being an honest person. Dealerships need more like her. She didn't know exactly what she was looking at, but she didn't try to take advantage them. That's rare these days.
@michelle_m4446 They're Decent hard working people in my area. Besides, most current sales staff are lucky to know what an "evo" is, now a"shovelhead", "knuckle" or "panhead" value... Just wasting their time. I wouldn't pay 2cents to watch this video😉
You go to a Harley dealer and expect to get ripped off? That is exactly how to deal with them. Every HD dealer I’ve walked in to is hard sell, rip-off priced, and lied to my face. I’m a motorcycle guy and once worked at a foreign brand motorcycle shop. I can chew up and spit out a pushy salesman. Sadly, the average Joe is going to get played. Typical customer will leave thinking they got a deal, but I assure you the salesman got a big commission.
Lizard .. . As someone who worked as a tech for HD for 25 yrs .. it's obvious from your comment that you know very little about HD dealerships and probably not spent much time if any at one ... especially saying that salesmen make huge commissions hahaha
@@GrumpysGarageDave Big is relative, huge is subjective. Tech’s can be part of the sales scam if they want to play. I saw it with my own eyes. There used to be a few Harley dealers in my area, now only one close by that I visited when I actually wanted to buy one. Changed my mind when I saw how they ran the business.
@@lizzardwizard2000 .. I can tell you 100% an HD dealership salesmens commission on a sale is usually less than 250 bucks .. I wouldn't call that big would you?? .. Techs have nothing to do with sales period ... most techs can't stand the sales people ... . Again I Wil say that you haven't spent much time at any dealership especially not an HD dealership
I loved watching this one with my son. My son loves that poster of the motorcycle on your wall behind the red couch. Can you tell me where I can get one like it for his room or our mancave in our shop? Love your channel so much! Thanks for the spiritual aspect and always keeping it clean and family friendly.

we helped her out a little bit when we went back to see talk to her a few days later

seriously, I was not surprised at all to find out she's married. She seems like a very nice and pleasant person. Even better that her husband works in the service department at the same dealership
Another fine TN girl! God bless her
When someone offers you 10k that quick, you know it's worth way more.
"Ill give ya ten thousand RIGHT NOW" Well how much could I get tomorrow then? LOL
Not if they are simply using the dealer’s price book.
you could get a basic price on google just as quick
He offered $60,000.00
Yeah, that's at attempt to scam her, not a fair deal.
The first girl who looked at it is an incredibly personable saleswoman; I went into that dealership a few weeks ago b’c I’m considering switching to cruisers, and she was completely helpful.
Did you receive full service job? Was it worth it?
please buy it from her , she deserves the commission for sure
She was clueless
@@RobertWynn-t1u True, but humble enough to admit that and to get some expert opinion.

Not sure how I feel about this type of video.
Seems like those attention youtubers that prank and its not funny.
@@ALCRAN2010 Yeah it was kinda cringey
yo, that very first girl, i was immediately thinking oh here we go, then she started talking and explaining some of the history in coloring book words. and when she was like "i would not take it to a dealer" :) there's hope for humanity
Yeah I'm hoping the owner or manager gives her a raise if they see this video
@@RockNDrums650haha he will fire her for not low balling her😂
Except the first sales lady tried to low ball at 50-60k and only said something different once 120k was offered for the bike
Agreed, most dealers would not be like that! She is a good person
@@pauls6909 She had no clue it was worth that much, most people wouldn't think it was worth that much, she was completely honest.
Pink shirt girl was being HONEST and HELPFUL. I like that!
She's awesome.
Why didnt you show the resolution of you going up to Jamie and letting him in on the bit? That ending was kinda trash
I agree. Why did they let that go on for as long as it did?
It’s annoyijgn
absolutely ... it would have been great to see his reaction. why drag it out so awkwardly long ... they already showed that they would have handled the bike sale very fair and correct so there was no need not to resolve it
because the whole video is trash. time to unsub
35:00 Sean should have just pulled up to the parking lot, jumped out and said, "OK JAMIE YOU BUSTED US".😂
Looking bad that’s exactly what I should have done
@@BikesandBeards It would be cool to see you give him credit in person. He definitely deserved it. I'm sure he would appreciate it and a bunch of your viewers.
Ride safe though, thanks for the content
I paused when you pulled up on the First Lady, I had to say she is so awesome and genuine. She’s a good person.
Absolutely love that first sales lady, incredibly helpful, honest, and loves to share knowledge in a way folks can understand. Praying that she receives all of life's blessings, great to see wonderful examples of humanity.
I mean u take a 70 year harley to a dealer what do you expect. The dealers barely know what a twin cam motor is.
This is like an episode of pawn stars
It sort of was. Mile Wolf was in it.
I think it’s sad when people don’t even know what engine is in the vehicle they drive daily
110 % I have a 2000 fat boy I go into our local dealership with 2 young parts guys and I know more than them about the carbs and whatnot.
I had a 78.5 shovel in 02….. they stared at me

I have a 98 evo …..
They stare at me like I’m speaking Chinese….
How can someone have a harley tattoo and not know wtf and evo or
Shovel is?? 🤷🏼♂️
"This is like an episode of pawn stars" - Agreed, and that's no compliment. By the way Greg, I'm down with respect for the law, but that's my flag you're taking liberties with. Just saying.
The ai art is painful, pls stop
For real
The backwards Shelby xD
True, but still better than stealing pics from others like other channels.
The story its self was painful
All AI generated male characters looks like Pierce Brosnan 😂
As a long time viewer I can't say that I liked this video. It had a creepy vibe about it. Most of your other vids were miles above this one. I guess chalk it up to experience. It did make some dealers look good, especially the last one.
Same. So much fabricated drama specially at the end. Borderline reality TV
Agree, but mostly for the ending for me. Not coming clean right then and there kind of left a bad taste. The last guy 100% stepped up and treated her fairly.
I had a very good friend that had a 93 heritage softtail he inherited, knew nothing about bikes , asked me to come look at it, I told him not to sell it for anything less than 6000 .a guy he worked with tried low balling him on it before he talked to me . Long story short , he kept it for 3 years and because I was honest plus got it running for him, just cleaned the carb . He ended up gifting me the bike .
Nice! Honesty pays.
My neighbour told me once he wants to sell his sidecar two stroke(its the newest in my vids), and he asked me if i can help him with pricing it, it had papers and like all parts, bbut needed some engine work, later he offered it to me for half the price they were sold on ads at the time, and i rated him honest value, but he decided other wise and was happy i made it run later and seeing me driving, i still have it
That's a 3500 bike at best

It really put those girls in an awkward situation.
agree
@@BikesandBeards thanks for admitting it, means alot. we forgive you lol
@@BikesandBeards maybe some day you'll go back in another video and talk about that😉? Probably get the owner of that last dealership to go over what he was thinking and if he had issues in the past with stolen bikes and people bringing in historical bikes to sell.
As soon as she say we can't buy it but we will sell it for you on consignment I knew she was honest.
As soon as the guy recognized it as the exact bike he was trying to catch the people who clearly stole your bike you should've called it and come clean
Yeah it is weird he didn't just come clean. Instead he is acting like they must escape... which means if the police were called they are wasting police time. I don't understand why he couldn't just say it was an experiment for a video.
My brother in law rides his bike everywhere. In January he left Kentucky, went to Texas, TN, AZ, here to NV, CA, CO and everywhere in between. He visited family everywhere. He ran out of gas once, a biker in a truck picked him and the bike up, got him gas, fed him and showed him around. Another time on the trip, he had a flat, same thing, the shop had to order the tire so the man that picked him up, put him up for two days, took him sight seeing and took care of him. There are places all over America called Bunk a biker that will let you stay at their place for free. Very nice community.
Shout out to both the first lady and the last guy. They both kept it 💯. The one guy tho that offered 10k and then fully agreed after when Sean said this bike is worth like a 100k lol that was pretty shady lol.
Sean's EQ is through the floor. That dude got defensive because he knew he was caught and started lying through his teeth about not knowing much about the bike and Sean bought the lies hook, line, and sinker. He actually praised the dude for trying to scam his fake seller!
Theres a reason why we all flash the hello sign to each other as we ride by. Everyone on a bike is in the community
No. I have nothing in common with Harley riders. Nothing.
@@CowboyPants-h5pDo you ride a Harley?
That first girl was amazing. She is a honest salesman. Give that girl a raise!

I'm going back to Craig at The Bearded Mechanic. He's the real deal. Good luck with your shenanigans, Shawn.
I can't believe you didn't show up at Moonshine. You know dam well Jamie was going to stress about that bike being stolen. Stuff like that has guys not caring about stolen stuff!! I know if someone showed up at my shop I would absolutely lose sleep over it. Faith in humanity works in both directions!!

@@MartyG1957the second guy offering $10k knew damn well it was worth far more than that. He tried to do a quick deal. That was not in good faith.
am I alone thinking this was a bit cringy?
Definitely cringy. Not to mention it’s pretty douchy to go around wasting a bunch of people’s time while they’re trying to work.
Coming up with this idea to deceive people is very cringy especially for a man that claims to be Christian. Wasting peoples time with a fraudulent attempt to trap them is not very nice. Doing this to get views on his YT channel in order to earn more revenue is cringy as well.
Thats how I feel and I don't apologize about feeling that way.
@@richardturk7162
Yep....For me, this was just more proof that most people who claim to be Christians......Aren't.
Super cringe lol. Baiting riders and then not selling? Brutal. Old school “it’s a prank bro” UA-cam
@@richardturk7162 Who's trying to deceive who though? It's a good opportunity to showcase a dealership's knowledge and honesty.
Second dealership tried to scam her 10k cash now lol
No kidding. He called a buddy to bring cash ASAP and even asked her to verify she was okay with $10k.
Then he also tried to confuse her by saying the cash guy will try to go lower but stay firm at $10K like he is doing her some kind of a favor. VERY SLIMY confusion tactics and he knows it.
Zero background of the bike, no idea if it runs, no paper work... id say 10K was probably all he could get in 10 minutes.... so not that bad
I highly doubt it he would put it as a 100k bike in his mind but he knew it was worth more than 10 as is for sure.
@@JohnnyAnderson1 even if you know.....who would offer 100k for that lol..... i would not even give 3000$ for it

Cringe. I don't like these troll / wasting people's time videos. If Sean had rewarded them for being good, honest people, that would have been a cool video, but that's not what this is.
Agreed, I’m pretty sure you can’t quote bible verses while you’re lying to people and wasting their time.
Yup it's sad a channel of this size goes around wasting peoples time with cringe staging. Not to mention the absolutely horrendous AI generated filler... Editor must have been "busy" generating those instead of rotating the ceiling van shots..
Agreed. He's playing head-games for fun.
I would argue that he showed people that they can truly trust these shops. And he gave them exelent publicity. Yes he took up some of their time. But they all came out looking very good and that will help them in the longrun. This video might as well be an advertisement for all of those shops. For all of them to be in the video with their faces shown, chances are they signed releases allowing it. The girl backwards in the ai generated cobra was funny. I think he kept those shots upside down to be funny too. Knowing his style . Now if he exposed the dealers to be dishonest , that would have wasted their time and not given a reward. But instead he rewarded them by showing people that they are shops that are honest and trustworthy places that people can be comfortable deal8ng with.

Funny thing is I just got back into bass tournament fishing this year since 1993. Fishing a lake in northern Indiana as a non-boater I witnessed my partner catch two 3 pounders back to back using a KVD 1.0 sexy shad crank bait in 48 degree stained 5 foot water. Now I have a deep diver in sexy shad color and I've never caught anything on it as well. I met my fishing partner at his place and we drove to the lake together. When we got back from the tournament, he wanted to show me how he made some homemade baits. I noticed he had some lures still in their packaging on a pegboard hook that he had been successful with. To my surprise, he had 5 packages of those KVD 1.0 in sexy shad. He touted how much success he's personally had with them. I guess he can say it's his confidence bait. I've personally had more success with a Bandit 200 splatterback. By the way, he won that tournament and all but one this season and is the club's top point leader and he just won the MLF bass tournament on the Detroit River.
What a small world. Bumpass is my local Harley store, the marks in the parking lot are from my friend Caden's stunt show...The guys at Hoonigan are friends of mine, have been featured on my channel, and the place you swung a U-Turn was my shop.
Very proud of how my locals and friends handled what ya threw at them. Middle Tn is a special place, and those guys (and girl) are part of what makes it so great.
That's Cool, just subbed
To be real the Hooligan guy was all quick to run in the shop to call his buddy to bring 10 grand knowing "HE" was the low baller at 10. And then reassured her do not take less from his buddy because he knew it was worth 40 of $50,000 minimum. And then Sean pulled up and he really changed his tune, and you could tell he was on the hook. I respect that it's your buddy but that guy really didn't pass.
Yea that guy from Hooligan was sleepy and tried to rob those young gals…
The guy at Hooligan knew exactly what he was doing. He tried to do a quick deal with cash before she left. The best thing was what Moonshine did, but he did nothing like that. He was telling her others would low ball her for less. He also didn’t argue when Sean said it’s worth $100k or $30k if left tied to a tree. He knew and we know he knew.
That hooligan dude was a prime example of what you get 90% of the time in Tennessee.
Thank you for bringing God to the center picture of the lesson. It’s always good to hear that from random folks. Gives me hope.
Harley dealers low ball? Never happens 😏🤭
They all do
Gold supposed to be worth 5k the country low balled you with Roman mythology mythology
NOT ONLY THAT, THEY WILL LIE TO YOU ABOUT IT HAVING EQUIPMENT IT DOES NOT HAVE!
in 2006 i bought a 0 miles 2006 ultra classic in a southern state, i had called around to get prices. the salesman told me that the ultra classic could not be bought WITHOUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM, AS I WAS SAYING I WANTED THE SECURITY SYSTEM. i ended up sending a $5,000 cashiers check and ordering the accessories i wanted installed on it! when i got there, the accessories were still in the boxes back on the parts department shelves. i bought it and rode over 500 miles home TO HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS.on the thing. not only was this bike a PIECE OF CRAP, IT DID NOT HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM. I PAID THE BIKE OFF LESS THAN 1 WEEK LATER BY DOING A BALANCE TRANSFER ON MY BANK OF AMERICA CREDIT CARD, FOR A MUCH LESS INTEREST RATE. my local (perryville, arkansas) dmv had to call the dealership and threaten them if they DID NOT OVERNIGHT DELIVERY THE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN TO THEM, AS THE NEXT DAY WAS THE LAST DAY ALLOWED BY LAW TO GET ME THE TITLE!!
i can drop the names of the dealership and the salesman too, but im keeping them close for now, because IF i ever see that damn salesman again, im burying a 8 buck harbor freight hatchet in the top of his ........!
im an OLD MAN, a PSYCHOPATH (DIAGNOSED BACK IN 73 OR 74, AND LIFE IN PRISON DOES NOT SCARE ME, I LIVED THERE FOR 10 YEARS ALREADY!
Never happens, all the time.... 🤐
@@MrWhitelightning73 That's the joke...
The first girl was good and did right buy them, but the last guy is a real one. Middle guy 100% knew and couldn’t do the $10k deal quick enough, very shady. Moonshine completely stepped up. Willing to take the bike in, research it and be fair to her. Also tried to protect Sean when he suspected it was stolen. Just wish Sean had come clean and not rushed her out of there.
On the last dealership. Why not just drive up and ADMIT they got ya??? PRIDE? Be honest, be truthful just like the last dealership WAS being. JESUS CHRIST son, honestly!
I can’t believe the first place didn’t jump on it. Wow. They were honest though. Support that place.
That second shop was all set for highway robbery..... he called and had money enroute to make SURE that the bike didn't get away. If she would have said yes, he would have creamed his pants!
He started running when he got close to the door.
Sort of, he really didn't get a good enough look at it though. Ten grand but he really didn't know anything about it and it could have been mostly all reproduction parts or just a shell of a bike or stolen and so on. Ten grand is still low ball but not that bad if what was actually there was only worth 20 grand or was stolen and worth the now negative ten grand he put up for it. Without documentation anything that looks old is a very big risk to buy. It's why he was the only one to actually make an offer and why the offer was so low. It was also cool that dude was fine with it being a hidden camera bit once he realized what was going on.
@@willernst2721he knew exactly what is was …
@@paulkersey6283 he couldn't because it is a restoration bike in all actuality. He knew what he thought it was and made an offer based on that assumption, but he still knew he was taking a risk. Without any paperwork, without the bike running, and so on, he was hoping it was what he thought it was based on her story saying it was a barn find. Is that bike worth 100 grand, to the right person it is, but only because so much of it is original and or period to the bike. Now, everything on the thing could have been from different bikes from different years, it might not run, might not be able to ever run, at which point it would be worth twenty grand maybe if you parted it out at swap meets. He knew he could make money on it, not how much money he could make. Once he knew it was Sean's bike he knew it was worth as much as he was dreaming it was worth.
@@willernst2721 like sean said if it was chained to a tree for the last 60 years and all the parts were mismatched and rotten and the engine was seized it would be worth 30 grand, that guy was already spending the money he thought he was gonna make, he just didnt know how much
9:35 waisted time of her working day to PRETEND to sell her a bike for your video and gave her a single hat of your own merch in return. wow! your so commendable! What an absolutely selfless nice thing you've done!
He did shake her hand though
It was 20 min. And now people in the area trust her and that dealership. It's great publicity.
People like you complaining on behalf of someone else, it's pathetic.
Who said she only got a hat??. You are very ignorant talking about something you have no clue about.
So the first dealership woman is a great employee to keep she just built a trusting relationship with that potential customer by not lying to her she’s a great asset to that dealership
She did, but what about the last guy? He did the same and even went much further willing to research it and then even tried to figure out if it was stolen.
I'm wondering why Sean let the last deal get out of hand. Either the girls or Sean should of just told him that they were sorry and just trying to prank you for a youtube video.
Sean secretly collecting knucklehead offers to start recouping investments 😂😂
lolol
Same thought 😂
The woman with the pink top is absolutely the sort of person you want working in your dealership. She's honest and friendly and I hope her boss appreciates her!
That 10K offer was diabolical
These are the exact people you never go to sell anything... like a pawn shop.... gonna give you 10% of the value if you're lucky
A lot of them are not numbers matching or have stolen parts mixed and matched on them with the serial numbers scratched off. Big risk.
@@gtd360 It Sounds like you're a friend of his, his offer was BS and he knows it, nice try.
And what was even worse was he claimed they'd get lowballs less then 10k so they would take his offer
Hold up! Why would you offer more!??
He threw out an offer of 10k. They didn’t have to accept it.
This story and bike is so similar to our actual story of how a thief probably passed a 1938 Harley that was owned and restored by my Grandfather since 1940’s, in Oklahoma. After he passed my Uncle took it to his place in Atlanta, Georgia area, where someone thought they needed it worse than our family.
I helped Grandpa restore it and would love to get it back, but we never had any luck finding it again. It was restored back to as close to original as he could remember and traveled the United States to gather parts for it. Frame was black with red tank , there was a couple things that made it a little unique if we ever got the chance to find it again. I always envisioned riding it and displaying it with the 1937 farm pickup , which I have and working on restoring now.
The Moonshine bit was uncomfortable to watch. Should’ve just pulled up the first time you said she needed to get out of there
Turning on the news you always see disheartening stories these days but it's nice to see that they're still honest people in the world🎉
Why would you send her to that last guy??? He knows you and that bike personally
Because this is bad
It's bizarre to see the fake stuff my kid watches on UA-cam transition to adult content. No thanks. When you do this to real adults it just comes off as slimy.

What a great job that young lady really showed how good her character is to be so honest that was refreshing
Feel like this coulda been a 5 minute video. Way too dramatic. Woulda made more sense to just tell the guy it was a joke and move on. And compensate him for the time you wasted. Especially since he was really very honest with her on price and helpful with his research.
I hope you paid these people for wasting there time seeing you were never going to sell the bike
Like they really do much all day
@@JJstayfly who cares, they took time out of their day when they couldve been helping others or servicing another clients motorcycle. Not to mention the expertise and honesty that they all exhibited. I hope they got paid, at the end of the day it was a waste of their time for the benefit of Sean's video.
Like salesmen never waste your time when buying and they say let me go talk to the owner and see what kind of deal I can make you. You sneak behind them to see them just go to a hallway and wait 20 minutes and then come back out to say he said this. Yelp they never waste your time.
Hope you paid the actors well for the stressful situations you put them in!
The first sales lady is an awesome! Was knowledgeable and was trying to help her not get scammed
That first dude tried lowballing for 10K but you have faith in humanity? lol
She has no documentation on the bike, no key, and dude never got more then a slight look around the bike. Is ten grand low, of course, but giving away ten grand for something the might have been only worth 20 is standard dealership practice. Really, he could have told her he'd give her 2 grand or four on trade in value. Ten grand was low ball fair for the risk he knew he was taking but you could tell he went that high because he was excited at what it could be.
@@willernst2721 You keep defending him, you're looking more and more sus!!!
@@willernst2721or he could have done exactly what Moonshine did, but he didn’t. He tried to do a quick deal because he knew. He didn’t argue when Sean said it’s worth $100k or even $30k if tied to a tree. The fact that he could have offered even less doesn’t absolve the fact he still lowballed her.
@@stephfran9761 for defending someone? Also, I said it was a low ball offer, typical of a dealership. I just don't like to hop onto the Internet hate train every time someone says 'get him!' I explained what I thought about the matter, in what I thought was a much clearer way then Sean did with the video as a whole, (you know, the whole bit about different things being worth different amounts to different people and all).
@@seashackf1 yes, once he knew for a fact what the bike was he agreed with Sean about it's value. Again, without paperwork and it actually running the value of that bike could not be judged, at all. Not to mention the value of that bike is subjective, which is the entire point of the video in the first place.
G'day Sean, this episode was an absolute banger, mate. But I will say, the bike dealers/ shops that looked over your 36'-37' Knucklehead, seemed quite honest and reputable. At least none of the bike shops tried tossing your "sister" $3k along with a "Goodbye" and "Smile" for your Knuckle!!! Me and the missus truly enjoyed this episode. Good onya Sean. Well done mate. Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.
the coming clean is usually the best part of a video. stretching this out and acting like you had to get out of there was not for me. i am sure you wanted to know. haha.
Credit is given where its deserved.
1st associate (Female) Was reasonable and upfront in sharing she had no idea what the motorcycle was worth. In her credit, she offered to have the bike sold under consignment once a reasonable price was determined.
2nd Person: I honestly dont believe he was aware this was a 100K bike, but he was aware it was rare and worth more than 10K. I cant blame him for being uninformed as most Harley guys wouldnt know what a 1930's Harley is worth. To be clear, your not going to open a black book and find a value for something this old.
3rd Person: Totally Professional. He knows this bike is potentially a very valuable bike and wants to determine exactly what he is dealing with before making an offer. It's not uncommon to find bikes modified to look like something their not, and when the small details make such a difference, you want everything to be known prior to offering a deal.
All in all, Moonshine Harley deserves alot of respect in the manner which they handled themselves.
Hopefully, in knowing the bike personally, they contacted the police and asked if there was a case open for a stolen bike.
you are absolutely right
The second guy knew it was worth a hell of a lot more than 10K
you know damn well that second shop guy knew exactly what he was doing
thx for doing this im in tn and i now know to never shop there
since this is your newest video ill post here but you have had me in tears on quite a few of your videos giving people bikes and helping people. there is no greater feeling then riding. i ant rode in like 5 years finally got my self a new bike waiting on title so i can ride and your channel brings me such joy
Sean, you should have just driven up on that scene at Moonshine. Candid camera rides again.
Kudos to the lady at the first dealership, she was honest and helpful. Kudos to the other staff at that dealership as well. Also to the dealership that was willing to do the due diligence before making an offer and research the bike. Too many dealers are shysters and would've tried to rob these ladies blind.
The girls did great, fully committed 😁😁
I'm surprised none of them picked up on how properly it was strapped down. Most people who know nothing about motorcycles would just throw a couple straps haphazardly across it.
Even though he's not your friend he was ready to help you get your bike back.
I love you 'doing something nice' for someone, but not disclosing what it is.
And that's not even sarcasm, it being filmed makes it feel fake so quickly, so I respect that.
About 20/30 years ago in Los Angeles a lady was clearing out her father's garage who had recently passed..it was packed with stuff/junk..under all of it was a old car..she called the junkyard and said she wanted it gone..the tow truck from the junkyard showed up and payed her $100 bucks and took the old car..it was all over the news..the father had worked as a security guard in the 60"s for a rockstar..and this Rockstar had purchased 1 of the ford GT 40's that had dominated Europe when ford beat Ferrari in Europe..only a few survived the European circuit..he bought it and drove it as his personal car..he got in so much trouble with tickets and lost his driver's license doing 200 mph in Los Angeles freeways that he gave the car to his security guard who put it in his garage..ya.. that was the car she sold for 100 bucks...the junkyard put it for sale for 1 million..she sued them but was out of luck..she sold it fair and square..
It was a Ford GT 40..I remember that much..
1st girl was spot on, said it was worth a lot, tried to educate the seller, started at $50s'k without even checking it over or looking up lists, offered to sell it on commission (the more they get, the more they make). Dealers have overheads too. 50-70% of list price on a complete unknown, no keys or papers, garage find, non-runner, is a fair offer, when she could really have taken advantage.
That last part didn't feel real, because why not just talk to him and clarify? It smells like there's a beef between the two of them, this 'Jake' and Sean.
Also, using a "100k" bike is too much, because like the last guy, they're going to smell something is up and it goes from earning a good payday to getting cops or feds involved and then you're down whatever you paid for it. There's a difference between trying to scam someone and getting the best deal you can and like it or not, people might even have reasons that necessitate they do it.
Point being... it's not that well thought through :)
I think the 1st girl was a cut above in integrity and helpfulness; but everyone overall was decent, considering having only a rough idea about the bike at first. Even the seemingly lower offers were acceptable; because buyers need to acquire an item with enough meat on the bone in order to make a profit if they resell it; and with anything, there are always the unknowns, that could incure even more unexpected costs when restoring it. These deslers were great; no lies told, no swindles, and great customer service. I'd purchase a bike from any of um, and have confidence in the deal.
I have mixed emotions about this video, using deceitful means to test an individual's or business's integrity just does not seem very fair to them or their time that's wasted.
It's like a bad prank IMO....hey the sensation video gets clicks so surely that is worth a part of your soul.
Regardless of “deceit” or not, the nature of an interaction yields zero influence on an honest individual with true integrity.
@@rweber5332 If you the honest person gets ripped off by a stranger, do you think that interaction would have 0 influence on you? You are human. We all know you would be influenced by deceitful dishonest interactions.
@@TokenTombstone no one is getting ripped off that’s the point. He’s not selling it regardless. And an honest person would Not approach with the intention to deceive either. Don’t offer an unknowing young lady 10k for something she doesn’t know the value of, and you know to be worth a hell of a lot more.
An honest offer to potentially purchase the bike would not be deceiving the seller either.. even if they aren’t truly willing to sell it. that’s the point. Deceit wouldn’t even be a factor in those circumstances.
Let me get this straight, they planned and lied to dealers...😂😂😂
Yeah, so what? It's the lords work.
(Insert maniacal laughter here)
He chucked some witnessing in, so it's still business.
As much as I jest, I wouldn't do this, as I am an atheist with a moral compus.
I'll stop now.
Yes another bike rider will stop and help if you are broke down. In 2000 I purchased a new Roadstar for cash had it decked out before I picked it up (pipes,saddle bags, you know the drill) type of stuff. Was taking my girl at the time for a weekend in the Tenn. Mnts. and after stopping to eat the bike would not start. It had less than 600 miles on it and I could not understand what was going on. The starter was spinning but not engaging. I had the starter off in the parking lot trying to figure out what was wrong when another rider drove up in his truck with his family leaving the same eatery and asked if he could help in anyway. I called the local Yamaha dealership and they told me to bring it in it was under warranty so nothing to worry about other than the weekend I had planned being ruined. The man that had offered to help went home and came back with a trailer helped me load it and then took us to the Yamaha dealership. We dropped the bike off and were told that it would take a couple of days to fix. I asked about nearby hotel or motels that they might suggest. Mike (the good guy with the trailer) told us not to worry he had us covered. My girl and I spent the weekend with him and his family at their rented weekend getaway location in the Smokey Mnts. and had a great time. My bike was ready Monday afternoon. With many thanks to Mike for him going out of his way to help, (we became friends that weekend). We spent many other weekends riding together in the Mnts. of Tenn. and Kentucky. Sadly Mike has passed on and I am no longer able to ride due to medical issues and age, but yes bikers do help other riders. Needless to say I rode a Yamaha and Mike was a Harley rider but to us 2 wheels were 2 wheels no matter what brand they were we all understand what it is to be riding, we know why the dog sticks his head out of the car window lol.
The guy at Hooligans IS a poser.
Its great watching that first girl be so honest. And even her $60000 estimate was enough of a clue to the seller not get scammed.
Fake selling a bike is bullshit.
But it's ok if you've chucked some preaching in, and you've got the video monetised.
Over 300K views in the first day.
It's all about the dollar.
The kind, truthful lady in the pink shirt should get a raise for being an honest person. Dealerships need more like her. She didn't know exactly what she was looking at, but she didn't try to take advantage them. That's rare these days.
Wasting peoples time when you don't intend to genuinely sell
with this kind of entrapment bullshit IMO.👎
Oh please, because dealerships are known for being such upstanding individuals...
@michelle_m4446 They're Decent hard working people in my area.
Besides, most current sales staff are lucky to know what an "evo" is, now a"shovelhead", "knuckle" or "panhead" value...
Just wasting their time.
I wouldn't pay 2cents to watch this video😉
@@tonydanzl good thing you didn’t have to
@@tonydanzlyou just watched it for free😂😂😂
@@billwhite9886 only the first few minutes😉
I now have some faith in people. Glad to see the last guy do what he could to keep the bike there. Was nice enough to even help them leave.
You go to a Harley dealer and expect to get ripped off? That is exactly how to deal with them. Every HD dealer I’ve walked in to is hard sell, rip-off priced, and lied to my face. I’m a motorcycle guy and once worked at a foreign brand motorcycle shop. I can chew up and spit out a pushy salesman. Sadly, the average Joe is going to get played. Typical customer will leave thinking they got a deal, but I assure you the salesman got a big commission.
Thats every motorcycle and car dealer... expect they will all rip you off... they will if they can.
Except the two dealerships were honest and the independent place was super shady.
Lizard .. . As someone who worked as a tech for HD for 25 yrs .. it's obvious from your comment that you know very little about HD dealerships and probably not spent much time if any at one ... especially saying that salesmen make huge commissions hahaha
@@GrumpysGarageDave Big is relative, huge is subjective. Tech’s can be part of the sales scam if they want to play. I saw it with my own eyes. There used to be a few Harley dealers in my area, now only one close by that I visited when I actually wanted to buy one. Changed my mind when I saw how they ran the business.
@@lizzardwizard2000 .. I can tell you 100% an HD dealership salesmens commission on a sale is usually less than 250 bucks .. I wouldn't call that big would you?? .. Techs have nothing to do with sales period ... most techs can't stand the sales people ... . Again I Wil say that you haven't spent much time at any dealership especially not an HD dealership
I loved watching this one with my son.
My son loves that poster of the motorcycle on your wall behind the red couch. Can you tell me where I can get one like it for his room or our mancave in our shop?
Love your channel so much! Thanks for the spiritual aspect and always keeping it clean and family friendly. More and more rare to find great channels like this!
I would never rip anyone off but I would be pissed if you tried to set me up
Well the guy at Hooligans is a clown and a creep. What a joke and definitely not a bike guy.
Respect to the girl trying to help honestly her out.
That harley dealer going the extra mile. Stand up dealership!
Good for the Bumpus lady. Her honesty just brought in a lot of business.
I feel like those dudes at Hooligan were way too eager to buy that bike for 10g. They knew something…..
The story of the girl had me in stitches 😂
Another incredible video man, great job to everyone involved🎉❤
Those really cool motorcycles in the back story. 🤣
Some were made before they had rear wheels I see. I quite like the shelf stored bike too!
