Ode to Moto Market
Very simply, I
would thank everyone who has ever walked thru Moto Market's doors. But more specifically the ones who touched
me and changed me for the better. Some
of you know who you are, others may not, but obviously there are far too many
to mention. The two people who I do
want to specifically mention, the two who made it all possible, are Paul and
Susanne. Without them, Moto Market
would not exist and I would never have met and experienced so much with so many
of you! And of the four thousand or so
names in Moto Market's customer database, I have helped a good percentage, but
I'm sure at least that same percentage has helped me back in some way. Whether or not you realise it, or think you
did not, you in fact helped me in some way.
I learned an immense amount about myself and about others in my six plus
years at Moto Market. It was an
incredible experience and you, the customers, are the ones who made it for
me. I appreciated your patience with me
in the tough times when I was not at my best, specifically this past year. I appreciated your understanding of the
difficulties in dealing with a small business like Moto Market, specifically
over the last two years. But most
importantly, I appreciated you allowing me to be me. I fed off of you and will miss the living, breathing place that
is Moto Market. The place that would
not exist without you, the customers, the friends, the community that is Moto
Market! I hope this community remains
for years to come and allows me to visit as I broaden my horizons, literally
and figuratively! So in these tough
times, and in my final act of salesmanship as a Moto Market employee, I beseech
you to support Moto Market in whatever way possible, whether it's visiting for
coffee more often, or buying a $2,000 Dainese one-piece suit. Moto Market needs your support in order to
remain there for you. I myself will be
supporting Moto Market in a different way.
I am moving on to become the District Sales Manager in the East for
Dainese/agv and will obviously try to take care of my main and favorite account
in the Boston area as best as I can. I
look forward to seeing you all when I can on European Bike Nights, Scooter
Nights, and the occasional Saturday or Sunday!
Sincerely and Thankfully,
Allan
