Default My Dealer Is A PITA!

Here I go again. My dealer is a PITA! A PITA to find parking at! Dang! I just got back from dropping off my bike for its 10,000 service and let me tell you, you would think they are giving stuff away the lot is so full. This is the way it is most of the time. The wife passed the same comment to me on Sunday. She did her fathers day shopping there on Saturday and had to park a block away. They are friendly, fair and honest to deal with and it shows in their customer base. I opted for their complimentary bike wash this time! I was greeted with a smile and told to have a nice day today and that they'd see me tomorrow when the bike was ready.

For those of you who hate going to the "stealer" I feel badly. You just haven't found a good one. They are out there!

Most importantly I never fail to mention - my dealer is
Liberty Harley of Rahway NJ!

I feel the same about my dealer. All though they are not a PITA and I can find a spot to park. They have always treated me right. I'll give a shout out to them as well Warren H-D.

I know the dealer I bought my bike from (Schaeffer's - Orwigsburg) gets quite busy in the summer 2 week wait sometimes. But they're really good people, however I usually take my bike elsewhere if I need something done that I can't or won't do myself.

H-D Biloxi has a separate lot for motorcycle parking which is nice; however, dealing with their personnel is hit or miss as to whether the person knows what they're talking about if you have a question.

When I visit New England, I find the same thing. The short riding season gets everybody out and active...It's almost a sin to not ride on a nice day. We're spoiled in the south

Another reason to move to Nebraska - lots of room in our dealerships...
