Default Experiences with Dealers in Maryland

Checkbook is ready. Looking to pull the trigger on a 17 RGU.

I am conveniently located between dealerships in Bowie, Gaithersburg, and Frederick. (Which means not particularly close to any of them) Probably a little closer to the one in Bowie, but not material. I've been to each dealer to look around and buy parts, but have not dealt with any of them on a purchase. They all seem like nice folks and were welcoming. Any easier to deal with on price? Less likely to sweat you out in the F&I office?

Any positive or negative experiences anybody would like to share?

Thanks
Emil

Bought mine from Frederick Harley. Will *never* do that again. They lied constantly and needlessly. Had a hell of a time actually picking up my bike. Had to get the keys from another dealer, Frederick Harley flat refused.

I have bought bikes from Battley, they are decent. Will not do any business with Frederick. However, you have some great dealerships in the area. Grove HD in Winchester, Va is great. Also Battlefield in Gettysburg. Anapolis HD treated me ok when I bought a bike from them few years ago.

I'm in Pasadena, and I shopped Annapolis and Old Glory last year when I purchased my RGS. Ended up buying from Annapolis just felt like it was a better deal. I have noticed that just about all of he HD Dealers in our general area have been bought up by the big Car Dealer Groups. To me it now feels like you are dealing with a car salesman when shopping for a bike. Car salesmen are not my favorite people

I wound up buying from Old Glory. They were very easy to deal with.

Thanks
