A few of my friends bought thier bikes at Dicks. We used to buy some of our parts there in the early 70s. I remember a typical occasion of buying parts, oil filter etc. and after paying I would forget to buy a washer and Dick would charge me the .07 cents plus tax, he was how should I put it, frugal. I have heard that the Supersport has always been for sale but Dick always wanted that much more than what it was worth. Another intereasting story may be what parts are still there. I talked to a mechanic who apprenticed at Dicks just before closing and he said the basement was full of stuff. I also remember Sonic but they were Suzuki. My fathers old buisness partner rode trials with Bill Sharpless for a few years, I ended up getting a crated 72 185 through that affiliation, my first bike.
