As for me I don't see how my GF can stand living there with that and the traffic, but that's just me.
They used to have Bike night I think every Friday during riding season? Can't remember, but it always seemed like there was something going on. It is a nice place though.

I agree on the parts dept.,Speaking of snooty I have ran into some A HOLES in the parking lot,just didn't seem like bikers you know.One day I was there and bought something bigger than I had planned on and was trying to bungy it to the superglide,two guys next to me were on ultras and snickered while I strapped it on ,one of them said why don't you buy a real harley like ours and you wouldn't have that problem.I looked at both of them and said "naw,I've already got a truck at home"

I think you guys have the sales staff at A&8 all wrong. They just have the pleasant no pressure, look as long as you like sales style. I do not know about you, but those are the type of dealers (motorcycle or auto) that I seek out. There is nothing worse than having a pushy sales guy hover over you while you just want to look around, think and dream about what is next. Steve the service manager is great and the parts guys are great as well.

I do wish they would stock more parts though. About everything I have wanted must be ordered.

Nice location and pretty store but the only thing I have gotten from A&8s was a T-Shirt.

I got my bike from Bucmann's HD in Xenia. They are some real nice folks there and have always been helpful for me. I just wish they weren't so far away from where I live.

Another Dealer I go to a lot is Mid-Ohio in Springfield, they are closest for me.

If Bob had loaned you Speidel, you'd have had a few extra hands to help.

I get to Aces & Eights a couple of times a season...haven't heard anything about them going out, but now that it's been mentioned, I haven't gotten my usual glut of mailings from them either...personally, I've noticed when I'm there that the sales people don't swarm all over me, but I don't care for that anyway...any time I've asked for help, everyone has been professional and helpful, I can't complain...
