I stop in at Gator when I am in the area, and will be there for Leesburg. Seems like a good shop, and they have EVERYTHING!

Their coffee sucks, though.

I wanted to stop in there while I was on leave. I saw the signs on our way to Universal Studios, but never saw the dealership....

Kudos to them. I'll stop by if I'm out that way.

Good story Gator. I'm glad they got you taken care of. Looks like some shops still get it.

I agree with the dealers getting a lot of bad raps in here.
Its easy to Bit(h all the time, its nice to report the good ones..

Last summer on a trip down Blue Ridge Parkway my gas line developed the pin hole in it. Over 500 miles from home.. NOT good. Stopped at 2 dealers but no one had the kit to fix her.

The second on called around and said Charlies in Huntington W V. had one. I had to refill the tank every 50-80 miles to keep her running.

But when we rolled in to Charlies they started working on her in less than 5 minutes.
Two hrs later we were back on the road..

That's is great service and Charlies is a fantastic place to see.

Derrick Beaver the Tech, did a great job on fixing and explaining what he did to get me running again.

All the "real" bikers hang at Starbucks Dickey.
