I work at a Honda dealership and most people that are "regulars" are either friends with the staff, or are just crazy. Seems to be an even mix of both.
If you are gonna hang out at a a particular manufacturers dealership, and you happen to ride a different make. Please don't say all the reasons why your bike is better than everything in the store.
All bikes have their place and your input isn't anything anyone in the store is interested in. At least not me.

I like going to my local bike garage - the guys that run it are cool and good for advice and pratical help, I like going to Hein Gericke when I've got some cash on me and I'm looking for something to blow it on and I like window shopping at my local dealership.
I'll quite often end up at a 'bike-friendly' pub, whether or not I have the bike because I enjoy these things and as a rule enjoy spending time around bikes and people who love their bikes.
I don't see anything wrong with that. My local bike school does free tea/coffee and advice - I just wish they were further away it takes me so long to get kitted up to ride over that I might as well walk!
These things are cool for me.
If I ever saw a major return on the stupid tax (Lottery) I'd love to open a dealership with the hangout spin on it. It's pretty cool. Some dealerships I've been too just want to pull the money straight out of your wallet, I like a place that is just friendly and cool, but then I am getting older...

Gee! I wonder why?
I mostly see these 'hanger outers" at Harley shops. Must be like moths to a flame. Or is that Hogs to a sty.

Now I wouldn't say that. My dealer led a bunch of us on a cruise and got us lost. What a guy! At least we didn't get the runs.

I stop by my dealer often ,the owner and others who work there are my friends.
They do have free food at times and as others said there is always the restroom.
Just a nice place to take a break and meet and talk to other bikers.
This guy sells Honda, Kawi and Yamaha.
