That dealership is not "small". It may not be as big as those in more populated areas, but it was by no means small.

The dealership in Racine, Wi is the smallest with Motorcycles I've been to. Nice place, no reason not to go there, but the show room did not have many bikes.

As far as motorclothes only, for me it was H-D NYC. I was expecting big and it was just a small hole in the wall. Not much of a NYC selection.

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.
Following this criteria I would have to say Tilley HD in Statesville and Salisbury, NC. Granted they don't meet the small criteria but they are in it for the love of Harleys.

Good luck on finding the right one you want.

Texoma HD, they arent the smallest but they arent super big either. Every single person there is very helpful and genuinely care about making their customers happy. I have yet to hear any bad things about them and they help me out quite a bit.

I'd have to go for Kutter's in Janesville Wisconsin. Though there was one in Iowa that was even smaller but I hear it closed.

Wanted to add that is the WORST I've been in too.

Geoff(post 26) McHenry is a branch of Woodstock (website states over 200 bikes in stock).

would be interesting to find a small shop that is not part of a chain.

That's another one of my criteria. After I have a list of shops I plan on starting a thread to try and get feedback on my choices. I don't want to help someone out that treats their customers like chit!

It they are small I want it to be by choice, not because they have no customer service.

Plourde's H-D way up north in Caribou, Maine is the smallest dealership that I have ever been in in my 60 years of life on this planet--- Good people to deal with too!!!
