I like to travel and use my HD road atlas to visit dealers. When we were visiting family in Ogdensburg NY I when to one outside of Canton. I have never been so disappointed, you would not even have know that it was an HD dealer. I could not believe that HD would allow such a place to have their name. It sucks for them because there is not another dealer for a million miles.

When you're upstate it feel like a different planet from NJ.

Dealer not far from me in Pinehurst,NC sells HD/Yamaha. Sort of freaked me out.

H.D. doesn't want metric bikes sold in the same building as Harley's. And to be honest, I don't blame them. We have a dealer about 40 miles away from me that sells other brands as well, Harley gave them an ultimatum, move one to another location, quit selling one or lose your franchise. So they either have to find another place to sell the Harley's or metrics, or downsize. Plain and simple.

I have one dealer near me (you guys love to buy parts from them) and they sell HD and Yahama in the same building. They have been going strong for years and maybe HD pulled this with them but I'm not sure

I bought my bike there.

I could care less if they sell Metrics alongside Harleys...don't really see why it would make a difference.

Yep,

Sandhills HD. They do have all the Harley on one side and the Yamaha on the other.

Who cares? I'm there to buy a bike, or parts. All that other stuff is just fluff.

I wonder what the real story is, could be either shady business, selling other brands, the list goes on.

Sucks that you have to drive so much further though.
