Harley Davidson dealers? I would like to know where the nearest Harley Davidson store is near here a map or web site would be great. I will be near there in 1 week for two days
I don't understand? Why do Harley Davidson dealers give test rides to beginners, but refuse experienced riders? I was talking to a HD owner today, he has an older Fatboy, no big deal, and he was telling me he went to the local HD Dealer and asked for a test ride on a new HD, the dealer told him nobody gets test rides and at the same time they were giving a beginner that was never on any motorcycle before a test ride on a new HD. I don't know if he's telling me the truth or the whole story or not, we were in a conversation agreeing with each other how rude and obnoxious this local HD dealer is. I told him dealers will be more excited with new customers than customers that already own a HD and are more inclined to give them test rides, and a guy that already owns a HD would know what to expect with a test ride, the new bike will feel the same as his old bike and it wouldn't excite him. he's not a friend, I don't know the guy, we just ended up at the same place with our bikes and we were having a friendly conversation
Are Harley Davidson (HD) dealers allowed to sell other brands? many years ago, HD did not allow authorized dealers to sell other brands. HD was barred from doing this, but then in 1995 the Commission decision was reverted because being more than 20 year old. Does anyone know? Is it possible for a dealer to sell all brands? thanks
If a Harley Davidson Dealer also sold Can Am ATV's does that mean Can Am is junk too? To be fair and honest, yes,, I am bitter because when I visited this HD-Can Am Dealer I was treated like dirt! I wanted to look at the ATV's, I wasn't there for the HD's, but was still treated like dirt because they assumed I was there for a HD Can Am may be a fine and top of the line ATV, but their reputation is ruined for me because they allowed a low life dealer sell and represent their product!
Do Harley Davidson Owners "READ" their Owners Manual for their bike? I am flabbergasted and amazed how many HD Owners say they use synthetic oil. """ IF """" you would read your Harley Davidson Owners Manual it NEVER says to use synthetic! The Harley Davidson Dealer will like you better if you buy HD Oil from him! if you use a high quality synthetic the engine will less likely to break down and that means less repair work for the dealers mechanics and less parts sales for the dealer.
When to a Harley Davidson Dealer yesterday, They snubbed me? I was the only customer in the store, I figure they would roll out the red carpet and run to my aid, the salesmen just gathered together to stare at me. I figured with economy being so bad and nobody buying anything that they would use everything in the book to high pressure sale me. I was disappointed Was it the way I was dressed? or,, do you think they knew I was a Japanese Motorcycle Lover? "WENT" to a HD Dealer yesterday excuse my spelling I live in the NE U.S.
Job at a Harley Davidson dealer? So Im going in for an interview with harley davidson dealer. I just bought a bike with them and ive gotten to know the staff at that dealer really well. Ive got friends who go up there all the time so im there alot.

So I did, she put in a good word and now i have an interview. I don't need a job ive got an ok one right now. But im still going to school. So Either way im ok. But i just thought i check it out and see if maybe it was better and paid better than what im doing now. Has anyone had any experience with working with them, and what is it like.

What all should I ask the seller of a Harley Davidson that I'm buying online? I'm considering buying a used Harley long-distance from a non-Harley Davidson dealer and am trying to compose my list of questions that I need to ask. I would be buying this bike without having ever saw it in person, so if there's somebody out there with experience doing this, it'd be great to get feedback from you! Thanks Note: I AM buying this from a dealer, it's just not an official "Harley" dealer. They have an outstanding reputation from other buyers. Details: 2005 Fatboy, 6000 miles, under 12,000

Why do I walk into a Harley Davidson Dealer when I have no intention of buying a HD in the first place? Choose One: "A" I go to a HD Dealer and expect to be treated rude to reinforce my hate for HD? "B" I love to go to a HD Dealer to look at the used Japanese Bikes they have for sale? "C" I love to look at the high prices of new HD's and laugh out loud, "ha ha ha " and try to figure out why people pay that much? "D" All The Above because the local HD Dealer has the best selection of used Japanese Bikes and its fun to watch the HD Owners complain that its a crime to display Jap bikes with HD's

Is there a Harley Davidson in the Netherlands? My neighbor is leaving this Sat. to go to the Netherlands. She said she is landing in Germany, doing a little sightseeing, then off to her husbands meeting. I want to give her some money to get some t-shirts for Christmas gifts. Do you know where there are some HD Dealers? Is this a big imposition to ask for? Thanks
Harley Davidson Owners? Are you upset and bitter cause the HD Dealer only offered you $3K trade in price? On the $15K to $20K Harley you purchased new a few years ago? and in a private sell, nobody wants a used HD for $10K What are you going to do with your old Harley? note: i'm not stupid, I know HD Dealers don't want your used HD when they are having a tough time selling the new ones . This question is not an attack on HD or HD Owners, its an honest question I believe many HD Owners are afraid to face. I know many HD Owners and they tell me this, they LOVE their HD, but they refuse to sell it or trade it in for almost nothing, they all want a new HD, but they are being forced to keep their old bike. Where and when does this problem end? If you were only offered $3K trade in on a 2 year old HD does that mean it will be worth less in the following year?
Does anyone know anything bout Harley Davidson opening a dealership in China..? BEIJING, Jan. 21 -- Harley-Davidson Inc, the biggest US motorcycle maker, plans to open its first dealership in China this year, as international growth leads the company's sales gains. The firm will provide details on the new dealer in the coming months, Chief Executive Officer Jim Ziemer told analysts on Friday on a conference call about fourth-quarter earnings. "They're going to take everything very slow in China," said Rick Drake, who manages a US$1.3 billion equity fund for ABN Amro in Chicago that includes more than 700,000 Harley-Davidson shares. "It's probably going to be a decade before China is meaningful to them." Harley-Davidson said international sales of its motorcycles rose 15 per cent last year, compared with a US gain of 4.2 per cent. The Milwaukee-based company still gets four of every five of those sales in the United States and is trying to expand in other countries. Last year, it reorganized its sales operation in Germany to boost Europe

How can I get original Harely Engine MSO Copies? I'm building a custom bike from the ground up. I've just about finished the project but in the midst of the build I have lost the MSO for the Engine. It's a Stock Harley Davidson EVO 80 Ci' motor. I've contacted the dealer which I purchased it from (a NON-franchised Harley Davidson Dealer) Just a re-seller, and he is very unwilling to help me. It has been over a year since I purchased the engine and I do not know what to do. My State (ME) requires MSO's for the Frame, Transmission, and Engine, along w/ receipts for the hardware. Any thoughts on how I can get the Engine MSO without the help from the original dealer? Again it's a an Original Crate Harley Davidson Evolution engine.

Help!!! Harely Davidson 1340 EVO backfiring really bad!!!? I have a 1994 Harley Davidson, with 80K miles, that is backfiring under throttle. It comes and goes. Sometimes it will backfire really bad when I hit the throttle and other times it will act just fine. Something loose? I took it to both of the Harley Dealers in my area and the first told me it was the jets and charged me $500 but that did not work, then I took it to the second and they rebuilt my carb and charged me $500 and that did not work. So I bought a new S&S carb for another $500 and it still backfires. I have also put new wire and plugs on and adjusted the timing. I am $1500 + into this problem and it still backfires really bad about 70% of the time it is running. Help!! The dealers did test the compression and said everything looked good. I also put on a new intake manifold with the new SS Carb.

Harley Davidson - Fat Bob Questions? With every dealer you know that you are going to get screwed, but how far down are my pants going this time is the question? I want to purchase a H-D Fat Bob in May, I had a few questions: 1. What tips or tricks do you have when purchasing a new H-D? (i.e.-Price negotiation, add-ons, warranty...) 2. Can the fenders from a H-D Fat BOY be put on to a H-D Fat BOB? 3. Is there an aftermarket pipe that still keeps that stock look on the Fat Bob, or do I have to go with a custom job? (Price)
Will Japanese bike dealers take Harleys for trade-ins? I ride a Harley Davidson Sportster at this time and am currently making payments on it, but may want to get a sport bike before I actually pay off the Sportster and was wondering if I would have to pay it off and sell it or would most dealers; Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, etc. take my Harley for a trade-in towards a new sport bike? I am making payments on it for a couple of years and am also wondering if they would take the trade-in value and put it towards to paying off the Sportster. I also am thinking of the Harley/Buell line of sport bikes, which would probably would be easier as far as trading in my Sportster, but I want to see if I can expand my choices to other manufacturers. There is nothing wrong with my Sportster, I enjoy it, but I eventually want to get into a sport bike and can't afford both or have room for two motorcycles.
What is the most comfortable Touring Motorcycle you have owned? Only answer if you ride long distances. Going back and forth to the dealer on saturday doesn't count. This is for the real motorcycle people, those who ride more than 10,000 a year. I've road a number of bikes and for me it is a toss up between Harley Davidson Ultra Classic, Honda Goldwing, and a Kawasaki Nomad.
