I've had good experiences with three Harley dealers while on the road.

Bellemont AZ, a new rear tire, got me in and out in 1.5 hrs
Billings MT, a new rear tire, got me in and out in just under 2 hrs
Reno NV, new stator and regulator, had me back on the road in under 4 hrs

The worst dealer service I've had is my local shop. After a 95" install I found finger tight exhaust nuts and my battery tender harness was not on the battery.

I've heard the expression used when people have called into Rush Limbaugh. "Mega kudos Rush"

I thought it was just some snobby right wing republican slang or Rush just liked the candy bars.
kudos [ˈkjuːdɒs]
n
(functioning as singular) acclaim, glory, or prestige
[from Greek]

Sounds like my dealer here. They drop everything to help those they call travelers. I've also had the same experience at other HD dealers. One of the great things about being a Harley rider.

It is singular. The plural (in Greek) would be kudê. But we tend not to pluralize uncountables in English.

Bought both my Harleys from Surdyke Harley in Festus, MO. He or his sons own the Yamaha dealer a couple miles up the road.
