Howdy Folks.
Well I got bit this year by the HD bug, after some lengthy thoughts and discussions I decide I was ready to pull the plug and buy myself a HOG! ?
After numerous attempts to contact the HD dealership 10 minutes away from me with no answer or being transferred to a dead line, I was almost ready to give up until I saw Policaro Harley-Davidson had all the bikes (New & Used) I wanted to look at more in depth.
I decided to wander in one day and bring my wife (if anyone can talk me out of something, it's her) we were immediately welcomed by the staff with a pleasant greeting while we wondered around looking at bikes and accessories.
we were approached by the sales rep, who asked our names and introduced himself, instead of just jumping into how awesome HD's are he spent time asking questions about me and my riding preferences. After which he had a short list of bike he felt I would enjoy looking at. He was right on the money and we had the same bikes in mind.
He should me the new ones on the floor and then we went back to look at some used models. we then discussed budget, financing, trade in etc. all without any pressure of cheese.
My wife and I were both very pleased with the "no pressure" approach and left with a very good understanding of what I was looking at from all angles. I felt very well informed and confident.
About a week later, I arranged a test ride of three bikes. The same sales rep had them all ready for me when I arrived. After a few loops around the parking lot we hit the streets so I could get a "feel" for each of the bikes. Was a great ride in very typical settings, so I felt I was ready to pull the plug and start the purchase process.
Picked my bike and accessories, arranged warranty, financing, delivery and pick up of my Honda. Gave my all the information I need to switch insurance (I already called for estimates) and I was the proud owner of a (New to me) Harley Davidson.
OH OH, parts were on back order, so they found another supplier and got them on order again. All with a phone call to keep me updated.
Now while they had the bike longer than expected it was no fault of theirs and they kept me up-to-date all the way.
Bike is being delivered Monday, July 20th and I'm very pleased with the services they provided me. If I end up buying another HD in the future, I know where I would go.
