Also, the point of my post is above is that I'm generally a big fan of BD. Would definitely consider one of their bikes under the right circumstances. But it's some of their marketing practices that drag down the reputation of their brand.
The shill word is thrown around here an awful lot, and all I see are customers who are happy with what they bought at BD. If you want to call that shilling, go right ahead. My point is that Mike did not put them up to it, which is what all of the haters think. I think you and I are in the same camp. BD is the only, and I repeat only, bike seller mentioned on this board where the collective 41 just about bursts that big vein in their forehead at the mention of it.
FWIW, the new Moto's with the full Apex group came out today. Very tempting at $799. And before anyone calls me a shill, I'm just sayin' I saw it. Sad that I have to disclaim word of mouth.
