Best Honda Dealer in San Miguel

















Welcome to the best Honda motorcycle dealership in San Miguel. Well, to be honest, it's the only Honda dealership in town, so you're stuck buying there. On the other hand, it's conveniently located and the staff is friendly and speaks English.

Today, I was in for a free 30 day inspection of my new yellow Honda Bros. Turns out that the labor was free, but there was a 75 peso charge for the oil. Also, I was checking (for about the tenth time) to see if my backordered key blank came in for my scooter. No luck (again). Thanks Honda of Mexico.

Gustavo is the salesman I worked with when I purchased my first scooter and my recent motorcycle. He is shown above with my new yellow moto! He's a good looking young man who used to race motocross. Now he drives in daily from Celaya, a town about 40 minutes away, to sell motorcycles to gringos. He's the eternal optimist, and has a ready smile.






Lately, I've seen him on the street demonstrating this new quattromoto - or 4 wheel motorcycle. I'm not sure who he's trying to sell these to - children, small adults or the insane. I would certainly like to see Honda's market research on this baby! For you Detroiters, how do you think this would do in the Woodward Cruise?






Gustavo insisted that I photograph the office staff, las bonitas (the lovely) Claudia (left) and Margarita (right). He may be trying to score with them. Also, note the picture of Gustavo at his desk pretending to work! Hopefully, el jefe (the boss), Pavel, won't see this one.

























I'm still lusting after larger motorcycles, but fear (of falling and of Linda) will probably keep me with the current inventory for the time being. Based on my (low) level of machismo, they may not even be willing to sell them to me! Below are some of the motorcycles for future consideration.
