Default Spokane Getting Store Back
A bankruptcy judge in Spokane next week is expected to set a date for selling Spokane’s only Harley Davidson dealership, plus three more stores in Walla Walla, the Tri-Cities and Lewiston.

Maybe a new dealer will emerge from all this. In the meantime I've been really impressed with the service department at Legend Harley in Wenatchee. Friendly place to do business and Mark, the service manager will do whatever it takes to be sure you're taken care of and satisfied.

Saw an article a while back that George Latus was looking at the dealerships. I believe he used to own the Spokane dealership in the 80's. He runs a pretty impressive dealership in Portland.

I went to the dealer in Wenatchee last summer for my 1k service. Lone wolf was 2 weeks out for app. I called Mark and he said bring in the next day. I rode from Spokane cause not only I wanted the service done earlier, but I wanted a nice long ride. I was awesome ride. Could not have been happier with the service from Wenatchee. Last month I took my bike into Lone Wolf for the recall, and was pleased with them as well. If anything a Spokane dealer will lighten the Lone Wolf load. Hopefully they will be better than the last dealer. Hope some of the good guys there can get there job back as well
