Imagin a Ford, Chevy, whatever you use to travel in, closed when you need a repair on a weekday?
There is no reason for that BS
They're still considered recreational by many, and Saturday is definitely a more popular day for recreational motorists to be on the road than Monday, wouldn't you think?

Many, many people use these Motorcycles as a serious instrument for travel during the summer.
It is not a toy.

No, it's not but I think we can agree that a business has the right to choose their business hours, right? And that closing two days a week is reasonable? And that most people work on Monday? And that many motorcycles are on the road on Saturday? Probably even more than Monday? **** dude, everything is a scrap with you.

I ride daily and dealers being closed on Monday is not a deal breaker. There's no reason for it to be.

many smaller dealerships, especially those not in metropolitan areas ARE closed on weekends or varying days of the week. This goes for all makes/models of vehicle. Wasnt too many moons ago that most all stores were closed on Sundays, and only open partial days on Saturday. We as a society have gotten spoiled and now demand instant service for whatever our whims are. We need to cut back that self importance, and realize that the world does not revolve around our needs all the time.

They , the dealer can do anything they want.

They conform to the industry standard. If you don't like it, I suggest you start your letter writing campaign now. Good luck.

I have only bought one new HD all my life as the dealers suck.
I don't need them for anything.

Our dealership service dept. is closed Sundays and Mondays. Always has been as far as I know. Sales and parts is open seven days a week. They also cut back their hours during winter months too.

I'm not sure why your pitching a fit if you don't need the dealer?

No one having a fit here, where and why did you develop that idea?
Just logic.
I have been in business for 20 years (until I retired)
I would not have ever treated a customer so arrogantly.
OH, some I would just not ever deal with, but that is different.
But generally, the customer is important.
If I had a Harley shop there would be an emergency number to call .
It would be sorted out if it is a real emergency or not an addressed as required.
Not ignored.
