Default San Diego dealer to visit?

On our annual MLB (baseball) vacation trip with the wife and kiddos, currently in Santa Monica Ca, been here a few days already. We visited Bartel's HD and Hollywood HD yesterday. Picked up a few shirts and stuff. Today, we are headed to San Diego. Which dealership is the one to visit there?

Thanks...

If you like the cavernous feeling then you'll feel good at Sweetwater Harley located in National City. NC is a few minutes south of SD. Sweetwater HD is relatively large in size and has ceilings that are higher than your average dealers ceiling. The last time I was there they had the lights dimmed a little low. It made if feel as if you were in a large dungeon, which was nice.

San Diego Harley is also a pretty large dealership, with lots of bikes and a well stocked clothing and accessories section.

They have parties and meals most every weekend, as well as rental bikes and weekend group rides.

El Cajon H-D is my favorite dealership. Great folks and a nice showroom of all the usual stuff. Been there since 1947, though this building is a new one, it's the same location since '47.

It's about 15 minutes east of San Diego and a couple blocks off I-8.

x2 for Cajon HD

If you're looking for a bit more of a ride, Biggs-HD in San Marcos is pretty nice. Another cool one to visit it Cyclevisions, they are probably very close to you on the edge of Old Town.
