RE: Sitting around the H-D shop.
two local dealers, one you have to go outside to change your mind with no freebies, the other big {like 15 racks} coffee, sandwiches and who will talk to you,
I spend my money in the big one, feels better when I get bent over the counter

RE: Sitting around the H-D shop.
Here in ABQ we have one dealership. They hose you at every turn and never follow through with what they say they will, at least not in the year I have owned my bike. BUT, every Saturday they have free soda and hot dogs and sometime vendors and bands, just depends. I go there every weekend to see the bikes and talk to other riders. Fortunatley, riders are riders,so that is a great time. Can't get the wife and kids to drive the car over there anymore. Which is fine, I have a good time, and noone is there to limit my spending. Figure when the bills are added up this month, the wife will make it a point to visit with me in the future... IF I still have a wife.

RE: Sitting around the H-D shop.
It seems to vary from dealer to dealer.
Here in Anchorage the dealer has a small area close to the building where travelers can throw up a tent for a couple of nights with access to bathrooms and showers.
If any of you were at the National rally in Billings you know the Beartooth dealer has facilities conducive to shooting the breeze.
Big Sky in Great Falls MT, and the Kalispell dealers have facilities that make you want to move on.

AK_HOG_Herder, it would seem to me that a dealer would like to offer a place for bikers to hang, maybe we'd buy something, ya reckon?

******* HD in *******, MI has covered picnic tables. Also, Dayton HD, Dayton Ohio has out door seating. Our local dealer, Zion HD, cooks up hamburgers every Saturday though they don't have seating. Skip Fordyce HD in Riverside, CA has a customer waiting room stocked with popcorn, soda, a pool table, big screen tv. Las Vegas HD has a Subway restaurant in its Sahara store. Most have free coffee and hot chocolate.[

RE: Sitting around the H-D shop.
It's too hot for that sortof outdoor stuff here! People sitting on picnic tables, chatting? They'd burst into flames! 
Usually there is something going on about once a month at Chosa's (Chester's). Usually involving the Hooters girls or the ladies from the Tilted Kilt more often than not (since Chester's/Tilted Kilt sponsor a bike night now). Chandler HD does something as well, but I don't get their newsletter anymore, so I don't know the frequency.
