Default Another Dealer Closed

Miracle Mile Harley Davidson of Great Neck is officially closed, rather quickly I may add. The folks there were always helpful and engaging. I hope they all find new employment. I guess those price tags on the new stock helped close this dealer although it is located in Nassau County New York......allegedly one of the highest income spots in the nation.

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

The probably didn’t want to build a Taj Mahal. That happened to my local dealer. They were in a relatively small and older building and didn’t want to go further into debt.

This location will be a very suitable location for a new Indian dealership .

How would price tags on new bikes help close a dealership?

I don’t even think that dealership was that old, I believe they were the old Hempstead HD, bought a bike there in ‘97
