These posts are hilarious! Keep 'em up - 'OMG 35 miles to the dealer!' Guess you shouldn't of bought the Sportster. I have a dealer in my town where I bought my bike. I guess they're ok. If I want some diversity I can ride to the dealer in Yakima (85 miles) or Spokane (150 miles). I thought this was normal! Let me guess -- your wife cooks your dinner and asks you 'honey, did you have a hard day'!

White liberals are the worst, most patronizing, tone-deaf people out there, and they’re currently running the country.
But vote like the White Liberals,,,

The closing of HD dealers is no more uncommon than the closing of car dealerships over the years

Default Dealer closings

They also just closed Stormy Hill HD in Clermont Florida. It was a small dealership but the people were easy to deal with. Sorry to see them go. Part of HD vision of the future I guess.

I always got good deals there when I first got my Train in 05. Pretty much always got 15/20% off. Nice ride from where I lived east of Orlando.
