I was thinking about this very thing. I also own a BMW touring bike and did not use it on this trip because it needs new tires soon. Is this happened on the BMW I would probably be stranded right now. Harley's vast dealer network is definately a factor.

 

Hey Chuck if your reading this you could learn something here....This is how it's done!!!

 

That's fabulous service. Above and beyond what anyone would expect.

 

I live about two hours away from Amarillo in the OK panhandle. There's a dealership about 40 miles from me in Ks, but I went to Tripps to buy my SG. They have taken very good care of me since I bought it a year ago. Great people in there. The sales guy always remembers me when I come in too. I had a slow leak on my front tire that I couldn't figure out. They trailer'ed it down there for me and figured out there was a pin hole in the casting of the front wheel. Fixed under warranty. But I thought it was pretty damn cool that they towed it down there for me.

 

Glad it worked out. My experience my be interesting to those travelling. I just had a rear flat on another bike I own. I had both a Dyna Plug and a Stop N Go repair kit I never had used. The culprit was a 2" screw which I pulled out of the tire. The Dyna Plug (using a single plug) would not plug the hole. The Stop n Go did plug it just fine and my small air compressor filled it. I rode the repaired tire 60 - 70 mph w/ no problems.

I am going to get a new tire and also have a tire shop patch the old one internally for a back up.

This Stop N Go kit is now about $30 and mine was at least 10 years old. That and a pair of pliers or Leatherman and a portable compressor don't take up much space and you hope you will never need them.

 

Always good to hear when a dealer does good.

 

A big thumbs up to Tripp's HD from Georgia! I have family in Amarillo, and bought my first Harley from Tripp's. Very good people there.

 

in 2004, while riding from NY to California via the southwest, I stopped in Tripp's and bought a t-shirt. just wanted to add to the conversation.

 

I go to Amarillo quite a bit for work and stop into Tripps every time I go through. Great bunch of guys.

 

Tripps sounds like what a Harley dealer should be.
