Its a Independent Bike shop.

Usually the ones most people refer to can still get everything (except new bikes) that a Harley dealer can.

Local one here is great. Nice and friendly they have coffee and popcorn all the time. They know your name after just a few visits and beat the HD dealers prices. Walk into the HD dealer here you just get a blank stare (maybe its just me ).
