So glad I bought both my previous bike as well as my current one from a genuine motorcycle dealer instead of one of the power sports joints. You know the places. Yeah, they sell bikes. But also ATV's, side by sides, personal watercraft.... one such dealer here also proudly displays a lineup of zero turn mowers out front along with the ATV's and bikes. Yeah, that's the shop I want working on my motorcycle.
But you're a bitoger you say, you should be doing your own work. True for routine maintenance, not true for warranty repairs.
You can say what you want about Harley Davidson, but this is yet another thing they do right. Much higher likelihood of expertise residing there than at the bike, lawn mower, and seadoo shop across town. Next up are other brand motorcycle only dealers, they might handle several brands but they only handle motorcycles. Much higher likelihood of expertise residing there as well.
I think it's about a place having a passion for riding or, dare I say, the lifestyle of motorcycling.
