Welcome,
Our primary business site www.southsoundbmw.com
is limited to our
excellent BMW product line and it clearly announces
OEM promotions, our dealership events, and links to
BMW financing. It is our primary Internet presence
and you should visit us there. You may sign up for
our newsletter there and download archived
newsletters. It is a good place to go concerning
service specials for all our products, as well as
accessory and clothing specials.
This web site augments our primary site. It is designed
to provide information about the other product lines we
sell, and to expand upon dealership activities we think
add value to the customer experience. Motorcycling, to
us, is more than simply motorcycle product sales, it
truly is a way of life. Of course, we work in the
industry to sell motorcycles, the associated parts, the
accessories, and we insist you know something about
them all; but mainly from a user's perspective. Users
are defined as we employees and some of our customers.
We really intend this web site to let you know how we
use our products, why we selected them, and what we
think of them as riders. If a product falls short of
our expectation, we will tell you. Likewise if it meets
or exceeds expectation.
Another desire for this web site to present information
about modifications customers made to their bikes, and
why they thought this was a good idea. Perhaps some
trip reports from customers, or links to their personal
web sites or blogs that detail their trips. This has
value as a lot can be gleaned from those who go before
us, and/or reading somebody's trip report may simply
help pass the time on a rainy day. Some of our
customers race or do unique things with their bikes and
we have some vintage bikes in our store that need a
better presence than our business web site can provide.
Likewise, we host several events in our dealership each
year - our owners view us as an event driven enterprise
- so we will tell the story with pictures hoping those
of you unfamiliar with us will be encouraged to
participate. We have Vendor's fairs, Guest Speaker
nights, Tech Sessions, and other things like hosting an
Iron Butt Association Saddle Sore 1000 ride.
There are some links to useful information. Some will
take you back to our primary web site, others will send
you through the Internet to other vendor sites, or to
popular product related forums.
We think there will be a lot of useful content here, as
the site grows, and we hope you enjoy it. Feel free to
comment, and feel free to contribute if you have
something special you would like to share that is
related to the use and ownership experience of our
products. All of our masthead photos are from customers
of ours, for example.
Sincerely,
Brendan Ferrer
