So, I just had my first visit to Bruce Rossmeyers Harley Davidson in Daytona. The store claims to be the biggest HD dealership in the world. The place was unbelievable, they have over 400 new bikes on display, plus every imaginable accessory. I got there 40 minutes before closing, but could have spent hours in the store.
The dealership is located in a large mall area called Destination Daytona. There were numerous bike related business including a huge J & S outlet store.
I've never seen anything quite like this place and I have no idea what it's like to do business with any of the stores, but wow, I could have spent days wandering around there.
I have been to that dealership,yes quit a place...
Rossmeyers was killed back in 09 on his way to Sturgis...I think a trailer turned left infront of him as he was trying to pass.. Was/Is a huge loss to the Motorcycle community..He was supposedly a hell of a guy..RIP Bruce...
I was there for Biketoberfest in '08 and it was crazy nuts in that whole plaza. The dealership is pretty big though. I didn't care for it back then since I had a sport bike. It's too bad what happened to Bruce. On his way to Sturgis he was the last bike in a group passing an RV when it strayed into his lane killing him.

Was there a couple years ago for bike week & was in my car because I had a friend visiting from NY. They wanted $10 to park. I said "no thanks" & have NOT been back since. Pretty damn tacky to charge to park to come in & shop.

Dickey...I was also there a few years back and they were charging to park but if i remember correctly it was because of some special event (Band) that they had playing that night.We had rented a house about a mile away and passed by there alot..Always a jumping place!!!
I live about 12 miles from there. Yes it is a big place but just like most dealerships they don't stock most things, I have to "special order" crap all the time. I have bought 2 bikes there and feel I got a good, not great deal. The sales people are friendly and the service is much better then other dealerships I have been at. I did get to meet Bruce while they were still on Beach Street. He was a stern and nice guy who knew motorcycles. He is still missed. May he RIP
Parking charge must of been for the special event because I've been there several times and never was charged for parking. Try it again, you'll enjoy it and the barbeque out front it great!!
Was there last April for the first time, very impressed. Our dealer here may have 8-10 new bikes at any one time, nice to see such a large inventory. Spent a lot of time at the outlet store & had a great lunch at the sports bar there. Hope to be back this year as well.
