Default Anyone in the Abilene area...

Does anyone know anything about the service department at Kent's HD in Abilene. I may be transferring to that area and they are the only HD dealerwithin 100 miles. I do know they have been there quite a while, but I don't know anything about the service dept. If you know of any indy's around there that have decent service, that would be helpful. Thanks...RB

In the annual Best of from Ride Texas magazine, there is Roberts Performance Motorcycles in the Top 10 of Independent Service providers in Abilene. Kent's was in the Top 10 as a dealer.

You can see all the results at www.ridetexas.com.

If yonr bikes under warranty go to Kent's. Loved the old shop downtown. Best Indy shop in town is Fast Company. Bob's a great guy to deal with. He also can write your insurance. And the major reason to have him on your side is he has a Bail Bond Buz too. As far as RPM all they work on is metric and not HD friendly at all. Drop me a line when you get in country and I'll show you around.

Thanks guys. I will probably be transferring to Brownwood in the next 5-6 weeks and have never dealt with Kents, other than picking up a few parts and tshirts. WestTex, will give u a holler when I get settled in...I grew up in the Abilene area, but don't really know anything about the local biker community. Thanks again...RB
