There are many Harley dealerships closing their doors. I don't like to see any business in America go under, but I feel Harley had too many dealerships to service bike owners. They are everywhere.

Not that surprising if you have ever been to Bridgeport. It is a the stinky armpit of Connecticut. I'm sure there are plenty of HD dealers left in CT in towns that you don't need a bullet proof vest to ride through.

I don't mind seeing a harley dealership or two go under.

Those guys can be real pricks when you need something. I needed a part for the Scout (stranded 250 miles from home) and the two dealerships I called both told me, no way...we aint workin' on no Indian. Fuckem. (see my photo above)

Yeah, It's funny TWO, count 'em, TWO HD dealers I have been to, the parts guy was cool about selling me a part that crossed over.

 

Every other HD dealership I been in won't even look up the part number if you tell em it's for an Indian. Including the one that's closest to me.

 

As far as I'm concerned: Karma, baby. :Rulz[1]:

Thunder Press motorcycle magazine relocating to Minnesota

Posted: 04/13/2011 01:30:58 AM PDT

 

SCOTTS VALLEY, California

Thunder Press, which has been in Scotts Valley for about two decades, is moving to Minnesota, and the six-person magazine production staff will be out of work.

 

The last day will be May 20, according to production manager Debbie MacDonald, who has been with the company for 19 years.

 

She said she saw the company start in the Camp Evers shopping center, move to the building on Scotts Valley Drive where i-Bike is located, then down the street to an office above Santa Cruz County Bank. The building is owned by Broughton Land Co.

 

The magazine catering to Harley-Davidson motorcycle aficionados started out as a 28-page monthly. It expanded to three editions and went national, topping 204 pages in its heyday.

 

"In 2006, we put out 600 pages a month," MacDonald said.

 

Motorcycle sales have been in decline due to the recession. The Harley-Davidson dealership in Santa Cruz closed in 2008 after nearly 53 years.

 

Thunder Press, started by Reg Kittrelle in April 1991, has seen consolidation among niche publications.

 

Kittrelle sold the magazine in 2000 to Minnesota-based Ehlert Publishing, a subsidiary of the Affinity Group based in Ventura.

 

Affinity has grown to more than 20 publications on recreational topics, from campgrounds and boating to all-terrain vehicles and recreational vehicles. It also owns Woodall's campground directory, Trailer Life magazine, Rider, a motorcycle publication, the Good Sam Club for RV owners, and presents an annual RV exposition.

I have an HD dealership north of my about 10 mins. parts guy is pretty cool, even looked up dealerships that had the idler gear for my starter when I was rebuilding it :buttrock: . Have another south of me about the same distance, guys a real prick :sick0021: They just opened about 1 year ago. Guess with the economy the way it is they can afford to piss off customers, just a matter of time before Karma hits. My local mechanic helps me out giving pointers on how I can fix my bikes, but won't even look at my X (Metric). Great guy and his point on not wrenching on my bike is he only works on bikes he is familiar with (HD and Indian) and doesn't want to learn about how to fix something on a customers bike. You have to respect that.. :Beer-Chug[1]:

Seeing as how they sell to the working class man.... with a price point that reflects that... the economy probably got them...

 

So now... have any premier Indian dealers gone under lately.... did Harley have to sell out... will the brand survive after sale....

What's really sad is you have to go to a Harley shop to get your Indian parts....
