Thanks again for creating an advocacy section in Dealernews! I hope that it gives readers/dealers some insights into what we do in the advocacy arena. Also, thanks for the unexpected listing in the Top 100. Wow! What a surprise to come home from the Fools Gold Enduro and find myself listed with a Top 100 leaders... many of which are my powersports industry heroes. Thanks Dealernews for thinking of me and for giving me the opportunity to write for you guys!
Happy Trails,

I have attended every AIME event to date ~ To get in front of the manufacturers, distributors and reps is by itself worth the effort to attend. The seminars, and informative meetings that are available are icing on the cake; not to mention getting to hang out with the industry friends that we don't get to see often enough. The payback from attending AIME far out weighs the time and expense put forth; it is invaluable to see, touch and try new product; speak to the manufacturers, meet up with industry icons and learn the current market trends. The show offers the key ingredients needed to prosper and move forward in the powersports business.

When I opened my first shop, one of my dealer friends told me about a publication called “Motorcycle Dealer News” and I subscribed to it. After reading the first issue, I asked if I could receive three copies for my store, which I got. Each department head was given one to read, sign and share whatever information in the issue of Dealernews that pertained to that department.
We used the information as it came from all over the U.S. The articles were very informative and each department would benefit from what they found in Dealernews.
Dealernews has been very valuable to my dealership and I thank you for all the information and work you put into it. We have used Dealernews for 50+ years.

Dealernews is back and kicking butt! Robin Hartfiel, John F. Murphy, Eric Anderson and crew have revived the brand, supporting the most important institution in Powersports, the dealership. Enthusiasm for our sport lives and can die within those walls - the new Dealernews is here to help dealers thrive. It is an honor to have REVER featured.

We definitely WANT to market Dealernews as much as possible to the dealers we talk to as we want them to realize it is the ONE industry magazine that is the true voice for the dealers and a trusted resource for them! In an environment where fake news runs rampant, Dealernews is owned by a dealership and the entire executive team has extensive expertise at the dealership level, not some big corporate media hack!!!!!!!!

It's great seeing Dealernews back in print. I remember reading the issues when I started in the powersports business many, many years ago. Always full of great relevant content. And who can forget those Cincinnati and Indianapolis shows of the late 80's & 90's during the boom of the powersports business. The new issue is excellent quality, well written and an absolute must for the successful powersports dealer.
Well done. 👍

Highlight of the AIMExpo — ran into John Murphy, former coworker and former Dealernews publisher who just returned to the position after 18 years. Great to see you again, John. I sure wish you, Robin, Eric and the new crew all the best of success in this new chapter for Dealernews.

Thanks for the copy of the new Dealernews. The timing of Dealernews' return is very important to the success of the Industry. The changes in Canada of the traditional dealership are great and changing the landscape. The move of OEMs to support multi-ownership can work well in urban and heavily populated areas, but in a country the size of Canada with a small population base the rural dealer is at risk. Great articles that are relevant and timely. Please pass on congratulations to your team.
