I can't argue the Rocky mountain thing. I'm guilty here and there. Even though Kames still has the top teir pricing, sometimes I see stuff for listed less than cost on rmatv.
Guns are definitely the meat and potatoes these days. Years ago, cycles kept the place kickin.
It only makes sense that if you put in years and thousands of dollars (some years 10s of thousands I bet) each year to local moto tracks and racers, if it stops adding up to returns, then ya gotta pull the plug.. When it comes to racers, if they're not getting the deal they think they deserve, then they try somewhere else. For rider support, when I was running all of it, you would not believe the s**t I'd hear riders talk about discounts. Sometimes, 10% off certain hard parts would nearly have the store losing money. But Johnny racer wants to see at least 25% or more off as a discount. No store will stay alive paying to give stuff away.
Not likely it's going anywhere. Just very scaled back compared to what we've been used to. Like I said, the stuff kept in stock will be geared to the guys hitting the trails with their kids on the weekends..
