Been racking my brain for the last 10 minutes since seeing your question and that name is not familiar to me. Doesn't mean I haven't worked with him, just don't recall that name.

My vote would be for Thoroughbred Harley store in Kentucky.
8519 Dixie Hwy, Florence, KY 41042

We stopped there last year as it was on the passport HD Ohio and northern KY tour.

It was in a metal pole building maybe a 40x60, heck missed it once. I am talking maybe 3 or 4 clothes racks, 4-5 bikes, a small counter and two cubicals. I believe there was a shop there as well. I hope none takes offense to the description. It put me in the mind of a shop may have looked like before they all became huge monsters that they are now. I thought it was a great a stop on the tour and plan on stopping in again this year. The place was tiny, but everyone really friendly and they even helped us find a quicker route to the next stop.

Gotta agree with ya on the service remark MB. I got a service there before I headed south and was very impressed with people there and the work they did.

Well let me clarify then...........Small by today's standards. I started a thread a few years ago bitchin about all the ole mom and pop dealers goin the way of the dinosaurs but that's a discussion for another thread.

I'm just looking for a dealer that I'm hoping is in business for the love of Harley's and not to ONLY try increase their own personal fortune.

There are several here in Ohio that are damned small. The one in Chillicothe is not big.

Well the one in Cherokee is only a motorclothes shop and not a full service shop and is part of 3 dealerships. Parkway HD and Ghost Town HD are the other 2.
