Our Harley shop here is booming (New River Gorge Harley Davidson). They are #2 in the region and on there way to becoming #1.
They treat you right and go out of their way to help you out. Even if you didn't buy your bike there. They keep their overhead down by just hiring who they need.
The manager is the only salesperson. He busts his but to make sure everyone feels welcome and never pressures anyone to buy.

I just saw that today. Too bad, I liked those guys. Only bought over the internet, but always good prices and good service.

In the city we had Brooklyn Staten island and New york.Brooklyn couldn't find a larger place,so they were shuttered.Staten island is ok,Nyc completetely sucks!

New Roc in New Rochelle, NY filed for chapter 11. I doubt they will emerge from it. The old Brooklyn Harley lost his battle with the MoCo and went Victory and Polaris. He is now shutting down completely next month. Reggie Pink in White Plains is gone. NYC HD SUCKS A**. Bad attitude at Danbury HD. Heard bad things about the dealer in Belmore on Sunrise Hwy. The only place that I would go for a new bike is O'Tooles in Wurtzboro.

Hell, to show *my* age, I remember when Trenton Harley was situatred at the end of some rowhomes on South Broad St...just enough room for a few bikes and shirts, and a few of the staff were patched, but they treated the customers right

They are in bankruptcy but it is reorganization not dissolution and as of now are still honoring the gift cards that are out there. Used mine up yesterday.

Looked like business as usual.
