For what it’s worth….I was there the Thursday before the opening. It was a great day to ride so I popped in just to check it out. Met “rockstarcustomsgirl” MO – boy she’s GREAT…..it was obvious that she was in the business for a while, UNDERSTOOD the biker mentality and was a pleasure to talk to.
Then on to the mechanics in the back – Sorry, forget his name - had a long gray ponytail. (I’m getting old… :lol: :lol: ) EXTREMLY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. The difference here is besides just offering advice; he voluntarily took the time to check out a couple of things for me – although minor I thought that was a notable gesture. All in all, everyone out there was real nice – what one should expect from a professional dealership – hopefully all of us will have the same experience.
The true test will be with Bill and Ray…..keep tuned.

I had my 500 done there a few weeks ago. The mech. is Smitty. Great guy and very willing to help. Overall very happy with them. And man the showroom is quite impressive.:up:

stopped by today and there was only a battery tender on my bike. there is one mechanic who seems great very knowledgable but i dont know how it is possible for him to handle all 20 some bikes that are in there. i mean how can one possibly be thorough with these repairs? i hope this all gets worked at soon. i really like the people there and the store is great!!

Just a thought here guys!! :D

But with all the little problems we have with our EHC electronics and other things especially a new EFI system I would want my bike in a shop that has had mechanics that have attended the lots of yearly "tech summit" meetings at the factory.
I don't know the history of this Smitty at this place but if he hasn't ever worked on a Dog then he may be overwhelmed with all the little things we have to go through to troubleshoot a problem. As for a 500 mile service then nobody needs much experience with this but.....

My dealership has Thomas that has attended numerous tech summits and worked on BD's for years and when I had my bike at Tampa, FL they had a guy named Shannon that had been there for 8 yrs working on BD's. These are the guys I want working on my bike cause they can get to the problem real quick and get you your bike back.

Again, just my :zz2cents:
