Episode Description from the Publisher

We are back from the Misfits Rally and have stories to tell. We had an amazing time, and want to thank everyone who attended and made it so much fun. Motorcycle industry veteran Michael Uhlarik joins us to talk about current state of the dealerships and manufacturers. A lot of changes have happened in the past couple decades, making it harder and harder to make a profit selling motorcycles. We learn that the USA is only 1% of the global market share, and with some of the highest standards, make it hard for manufacturers to bring their bikes here. And the dealerships are struggling with rising rents and insurance costs, making it even harder to make a profit. So what's the answer? What does the motorcycle dealership industry look like in the future? What is going to save it? Let us know what you think. With Liza, Stumpy John, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Bagel. www.breakingawayadventures.com/ www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.breakingawayadventures.com/shop/p/mi…-rally-v4 www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop
