Sorry, but I am calling BS on that statement of being to 6 dealers in a hour.. You either missed a 4 in front of hour or stating you called 6 dealers and didn't visit them which will affect your responses as well given you are not physically in front of the salesman wanting to close a deal right then and there.

The closest dealer to Chesapeake is over 27 miles away which would be Lancaster off 741. Baltimore HD is at least 40 minutes because of going over to 95 and then down. Baltimore HD is about 35 minutes from Annapolis. Laugermans is at least 45 minutes from Chesapeake.

 

6 dealerships within a hour of my house, touring 6 dealerships in one hour I doubt could be done anywhere in the country. But yes, from my house every one of those dealers are "within" a hour ride. And I have been to 5 in person because most won't give a price over email or phone.

But thanks for your insight, so sorry I did not put "of my house" after "within a hour"..... I figured people knew what I meant.

And Rommel New Castle is closer to me than Rommel Annapolis, so you had 5 of the 6...

 

Cool and that makes sense now. :-)

 

If you guys are both looking to buy bikes, meet up and go into the dealers together. It's amazing what a difference it can make if the dealer is going to sell two bikes to a couple of riding buddies. It definitely multiplies your buying power. Just a thought...

 

sorry ,forgot to mention where I was located. I bought mine in Beaumont, Texas.
Shopped 3 dealers in Houston and 3 in Louisiana. The key to my deal was I was not in
a hurry. I shopped for 3 months , the deals are out there. just don't get in a hurry.

 

Me and the OP are in the same area with the same plans and this was my thought but the OP has not responded in a while...

 

ok I just purchased my first Harley today in Florida after months of researching and waiting. Dealer is getting in 2016 models so they are finally giving some discounts off the 2015 msrp sticker but my dealer would not take off any of the prep/fees. now is a great time to buy but hurry your favorite color may not be left.
