Killer Creek in Alpharetta is my dealer. They've got a very good rep if you need help/service. They are also located north of ATL, so it's a good jump-off point if you're going to ride the north country in GA, which is beautiful.

I really don't have any one particular dealer. A lot of folks like Cartersville Harley and it is also north of Atlanta and a good off point to either the North GA mountains or over to Coosa Valley that has some pretty cool roads.

Harley of Atlanta has a pretty good parts dept. I don't care for their sales dept and I haven't used their service. But they usually have something going on during the weekend.

Depends on where you are around Atlanta. There are about 7 dealers within 40 miles of downtown ATL.

Killer Creek has been my dealer since 2000 and just bought my newest Harley from them. Great folks to deal with.

When I was rolling through Atlanta for the 100th anniversary party, I was doing about 75 and grabbed some brake - and the lever just hit the grip. Pucker moment! Anyway, luckily we could see Stone Mountain HD from where we were. Limped over there and even though it was about noon on a Saturday, they pushed me straight to the front of the service line (we were headed back to Jersey) and they had me on the road in about an hour. Needed a new master cylinder and they were lucky enough to have one in stock. I've never been back, but if I ever do roll through there again, you can betcha i will stop and say thanks again to the service department.

unless you have broken down, why would you need to visit a dealer? there has to be something better to do with your time.

If I may take a slight rabbit trail to the thread, have family that recently moved to north Atlanta, recommendations on best place to rent a bike?
