They got me back on the road last June when on vacation. Had to order the brake line and it was wrong. They made it work to get me back on the road.
Had a number of brews there also with the guys and gals. Damn, hate to hear it will be gone.

Sad for sure, The other dealership (Parkway) owned by the same family east of Asheville is also in trouble. Rumor has it thay the owner of Mr Motorcycles a Metric dealership may be buying it. Harley did not chose these for closure.

October 2005 is when the name changed from Gene Lummus to Ghost Town ( same owner ). Here's a pic from the day they were putting up the new sign.

P's me off to no end when the MoCo goes after the small guys who understand it is about the bikes, not the clothing sales. Hopefully they can stay open as an Indy and keep the local guys bikes running. In the mean time the bean counters are running things into the ground again.

Most thought after Gene Lummus died both shops would be sold. Guess they were correct. Word is his son Travis will keep the shop open in Waynesville as an independent dealer.
Mr. Doug Rudd of MR Honda with dealerships both in Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC will close the deal on the Swannanoa store this month.
Not sure if he purchased just the dealership or both dealership and the property. Nevertheless, Doug is a very nice young man and an asset to the motorcycle community.
