do you have a 1-dealership loyalty?
what's customary for most people? We just visited another dealership in Syracuse, and they have a lot more bikes on the floor, than our local one. If the local does all of the maintenance wk, is it kosher to buy from another dealer? Do they care really where you got your bike?

Both of my bikes were bought at the same dealership. Lancaster CA HD.
The dealership has changed locations three times since it was first opened.
Wooden floor, oil stains under the few used bikes in stock is what the shop was in 1986.
The original owner retired, but he treated me like a son, (I was 29 and he was in his fifties then).
New owner and salesmen but one of the original mechanics is now co-owner.
Haven't had any problem that made me need to look elsewhere when buying a new bike.

I have 3 dealers within 40 minutes of me. I just realized I've bought one bike from each of them. I take all the bikes to the closest one for service though, they really don't care where I bought them.

Bottom line, it's your money, spend it where you want. When it comes to my bank account, I don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings.

I will try and do business with the dealer I bought from. They get to know me and I believe they go a little more out of their way to get me in sooner, explain things better, etc.
Maybe I am imagining it........

There are many dealers locally. I have only had the dealer I got the bike from work on it but that dealer is closer. I did buy both my bikes from one sales guy. But we got my husbands bike from another dealer. I also have taken my bike to an local Indy. The closet dealer who I got both of my bikes from are really nice to me. It is easier for them to remember the female riders since there are fewer of us.
