I was in there this past weekend and there is no more rental desk area- a lot of bikes near the front door with big signs saying- Lets Make A Deal? Not much in the way of either mens or ladies clothing, no boots or helmets and very little leather gear. They are selling sportstype cars on consignment inside the store itself! Not too many brand new bikes except a TriGlide and the owner is attempting to sell off his personal collection of older bikes at totally outrageous prices. I am a chapter member and yes- they are claiming plans for rides and events well into springtime but I am doubtful. Not really saying they wil be missed as they do not treat folks the way they should!

And that is most likely why they are having a hard time in the business.

have been in biggs of late and have received good pricing on a tri glide. lots of bikes on the floor and some business being conducted. i find interesting their website states the building is being sold and they are looking for a new location. don't know what to think as i would like to buy that tri glide but need good service after the sale. i will speak again with them tomorrow and get a better feel for what is going on. asked about a knuckle head on the floor and was told that the bike belong to the owner and was not for sale.

With Harley prices the way they are they are probably still making a couple of bucks even at 85% off.

It says on their website that they sold the land to Costco and are going to rebuild somewhere in San Marcos.

I was in there last week, and the inventory is real light.Doesn't give a person a lot of confidence.
