Default Harley Davidson has no qualified staff in the workshops in Seville

Greetings to all,
The problem we have the owners of these bikes is that there are no qualified personnel in workshops, an ultra classic motorcycle that costs us $ 45,500 worth having a good service and in Seville it is not. Harley Davidson would have to check that you have more staff in the workshops because it hurts the brand. Since 2007 that I bought the bike I had problems from the first month, my bike was manufactured in February 2007 and took the strike had Miwakee and the bike came with manufacturing problems .

1. I see you're from Seville, so I'm thinking you're from Spain.

2. More details about what the problem is and what they have/have not attempted would also help.

holy **** you can tell your from Spain. I would ask what has gone wrong with your bike, and what have they done to deserve your hatred.. But I honestly doubt I would understand your post.

mampuri, If you were to go to the topic of Bad Dealers on this forum, you'll find that the lack of qualified personnel in H-D dealerships is worldwide.

Good luck on getting your problems looked into & resolved. Have you tried to communicate with someone higher up in H-D than local dealer? There should be some kind of European office/dept. you can contact.

I bet it has alot to do with:
a. work ethic
b. government rules on work (hours/pay)
c. ability to run a business in that environment.
But hey, lets just blame a business, the biggest one the better. It's easier that way. Thinking is difficult. Feeling is easy.

From what I remember about Rota, Benidorm, Magaluf, or even Palma. The shops open at 1000, close for lunch/seista till 5 pm then close late. When would they have time to work on the bikes? Oh I forgot, the national strikes, the protests and holidays. Might want to go to a trade school learn how to turn wrenches and buy yourself a service manual. I'll say something positive, good looking babes on the beaches.

I wouldn't be able to tell you which currency he uses.. However, Harleys in other countries are CRAZY priced. I was out in town with a buddy and found a shop that had a few of em. Since they are all imports they are VERY sought after. the dude had an 09 sportster 883 for 8k Euro.
to clarify, 8k euro is about 11.3k US.
