"We sell our bikes at MSRP with $350 included for set up and shipping.  Currently, we are not receiving enough motorcycles from H-D to satisfy our local demand so we rarely sell out of our area.  Buells are another story.  We sell Buells worldwide. Our service department is staffed with experienced factory trained technicians, our work is guaranteed and our equipment is state of the art. We service older bikes too.  I hope you never have a disappointing experience with H-D / Buell of Bloomington, but if you should please contact me personally. I want to know about it. Compliments are also welcome. If you are
ever in our area please stop in. We look forward to seeing you." - HD of Bloomington 1/00

"According to a well-known biker magazine, readers have sent in letters claiming that this dealer sells bikes at or near MSRP."

"Bought a bike at a decent price.  Their service is the worst I've dealt with. (five dealers)  They misdiagnosed my bike twice.  They damaged my bike twice.  I informed the dealer of the problems and told him I wouldn't publicize this until he had a chance to make it right.  He hasn't made it right in over six months.  I would never buy here again or have my bike serviced here.  Their service manager has changed three times in less than a year." - VT 4/01

"I have looked at our records and we have never worked on an individuals motorcycle at this dealership with the initials "VT".  If this situation had occurred and had the anonymous cowardly author "informed the owner" as he claims I would have certainly remembered it.  I can also assure everyone that if something like this had happened it would have been quickly resolved.  Hopefully, the fact that the nameless writer claims to have used five different H-D service departments and that we have no customers with the initials "VT" raises a red flag. I am very proud of our service department.  Our Service Manager has worked for the dealership for 15 years and is a Master PHD.  All of our technicians are experienced, well trained and honest individuals which is more than I can say for the gutless "VT". Our overall H-D Customer Service Satisfaction rating for 2000 placed us number 23 out of 620 dealerships or in the top 4% of dealers nationwide.  In fact, we recently received H-D's coveted Midwest Service Dealer of the Year award for 2000.  Obviously, the majority of our fine customers do not share the same opinion as the spineless "VT". I hope you never have a disappointing experience with H-D of Bloomington, but if you should I want to hear about it personally.  We truly do pride ourselves on providing our customers with an extremely high level of quality service.  VT, if you want to prove to the world that you are not the ball-less wonder you appear to be please stop by the dealership and let's talk.  My door is always open." - Jeff Stevens, Owner, H-D of Bloomington 4/01

"Bloomington H-D has given me great service on my new bike plus fair prices on accessories.  Very helpful on which products to use for the type of riding that I will be doing.  They make the decision making process very easy.  Thank guys." - RN 4/01

"After having my 2001 FLHRCI, 3500 miles, stolen on  a Canada trip, Bloomington H-D got me fixed up with a new 2002 quick.  The salesman, which I have dealt with in the past, is great to work with - a hard worker. This is the only dealer I will have work on my bikes because for 10 years it has been done right and on time as they have said. They are another H-D family member to me." - RN 7/01

"Just wanted to share my experience with this dealership. True MSRP pricing, the owner and staff are great to work with. After another dealer I had ordered a bike from tried to shaft me on my trade in, I called Bloomington H-D and they had what I wanted on the floor... at MSRP." - MJ 02/02

"H-D of Bloomington sells bikes at MSRP plus $675 freight/ prep/ documentation on a FCFS basis. They also told me that they only sell within a limited distance (70 miles?) of Bloomington. Very friendly staff. Former sales manager/current general manager mentioned several times that, "Buying a bike is supposed to be fun!" Nice people to deal with. Very good, active, local HOG Chapter." - TR 08/03

"Couldn't find a new Road King in my hometown so I called them.  They said they had one and would sell it for MSRP plus freight and setup and held it for me for a week until I could get down to see it.  They then added the parts and accessories I asked for at 10% off based upon a handshake deal to buy the bike.  I picked it up a week later.  Of all the new bikes and other vehicles I've purchased, I've never been treated better by any dealer." - RS 08/03

"Purchased my second bike from these guys. They couldn't have made the transaction any more friendly and smooth than they did. Can't speak for the service department, as I wrench my own. No hassles. Standard doc- prep fee for all bikes except Sportsters (a little cheaper)." - JD 02/04

"My two sons and I have purchased 6 new bikes from this dealership and have found them very professional and helpful. Even when I had an older Sportster that was purchased from an individual they were willing to help with advice or service. I never visit this dealership without friendly greetings and their willingness to help." - JF 08/03

"I own two Harleys, neither of which was purchased from Mann's.  Lately, my FLHTC has been giving me a lot of trouble, which means it has needed a lot of service.  The guys in the service department are honest, prompt and take the time to explain what they did and why. Their service rates are higher than other dealers but they do a great job.  For service, I will certainly recommend them to my friends." - RB 04/04

"This is a great dealership to do business with.  I just bought a used FXR from them. Talked with them first about this bike two weeks ago, but was unable to make it to Indiana until yesterday.  The salesman was real professional and accommodated my lack of time to pick up the bike.  There were bikes on the floor, new and used, new ones being sold for the MSRP.  Great experience overall, highly recommend." - AU 09/04

"According to a well-known biker magazine, readers have sent in letters claiming that this dealer sells bikes at or near MSRP."

"Was quoted $17500+TTL for FLHRI with pearl paint. $17875+TTL for FLHTCI with pearl paint. Told me to call back after 1/00 for availability. Didn't have a problem selling 100+ miles out of his area." - TH 9/99

"I'm about to buy my third Harley from them. They not only sell for MSRP, they also are willing to take good care of the customer after the sell." - TW 08/02

"I've been doing business with this shop since I bought my first Sportster in 1998. A friendly, clean family owned shop. The few times I've had problems with my Sporty's (can you say rocker box???) they made sure, especially Lou Jr., that my bikes were fixed fast and correctly the first time. The bikes are sold at MSRP. If all business's, no matter what they sell, were like Gerencer's, well life would be nicer. Service work has been done correctly and neatly every time. Highly recommend this shop." - DO 12/02

"On the way to a funeral in Kokomo, IN I had the misfortune of breaking the drive belt  in Goshen, IN.  Called the  Elkhart Harley Dealer. They were too busy to help!!! Couldn't even tow it and store it.  Found an Independent in Goshen that loaned us a truck and trailer, let us store the bike for 2 days... NO CHARGE! I heard the dealer in Elkhart is a mega dealer? That true? No time for travelers? We got Chrome, but can't get ya home?" - MH 06/03

"In August of 2000 I was making my first trip to Sturgis. When I stopped at the Indiana/Illinois border my bike would not restart. I tried to call the dealership 40 miles down the road in Illinois to no avail. I called back 40 miles to Bud's about 5 minutes before closing. The parts manager brought me the piece I thought I needed and when that wasn't the problem loaded my bike into the truck and brought us back to the dealership. He dropped me at the hotel nearest the dealer and when I showed up at 9 am the next morning my bike was just inside the shop door ready to go. I can't say enough good things about the people I met at Bud's H-D. They are the perfect example of why I switched to Harley in the first place. If your ever around Evansville, stop by and see them. It's a beautiful dealership run by a great group of people. My hat's off to the entire staff." - CW 2/01

"They draw names out of a hat. So after a few weeks of checking for a bike that was the color I wanted needless to say I was surprised it hadn't been taken yet, so I jumped on it & told them to hold it for me, no problem they held it almost a week. Nothing was ever said about them not accepting a out-of-state bank check when they knew from the start that's what it was & don't say they have a no-out-of-state bank policy. The financial manager wouldn't even talk about it. In calling a local bank they wanted to know why the final price was so much higher than their book price. Anyway I asked dealership if they send me a fax of the options it had. In looking at the fax there was a charge for a option of $400.00 that was for paint upgrade (what upgrade it's the standard Chrome yellow) called salesman & he wasn't quite sure but that it must be a special color? This dealership is very inconsistent, and has ruined what was to be a happy first Harley buying experience for me, I still want the bike but I am not happy about having to buy it from them." - JW 6/01

"OK as I understand it now the price for HD is for a black paint if it comes w/any other color they charge for it. I understand that it is a sellers market & other than the $400 the dealer didn't jack up anything else, not much over MSRP. I now have my Sportster and love it, nothing else compares that I've owned. I don't want to put a bad light on Bud's they were fair except for maybe the out-of-state policy as it turned out I benefited more going local. My purchase was a happy one in the end & everything worked out." - JW 7/01

"I purchased a new 04 FLHTCSE from Bud's HD in Evansville, IN.  This was my forth HD motorcycle purchase in the past two years and this was by far the best purchase experience I've had so far. The prices, unlike the dealers here in metro Atlanta, were excellent. As I understand they sell most new bikes for MSRP. There were no junk fees like set up charges or requirements to purchase accessories and no pressure to finance or buy an extended warranty. Just good people with helpful information to help make decisions that were right for me. Everyone I met at the dealership was courteous and helpful. The dealership is top notch with just about any HD related product you can think of. It was a 850 mile round trip drive to buy from these folks and I would do it again without hesitation. Great prices, great selection and great customer service. Two thumbs up!" - LW 10/03

"My '03 FXDWG was placed on the floor with about $1900.00 worth of extras/replacements added. My understanding is that with bikes that are fairly popular or a bit scarce Bud's usually adds extras or adds $1500.00 to the price of the bike, to be used as credit towards extras for the bike. I understand they do occasionally sell bikes stock, and for list price, but I have not seen many. At least they do give you something for the markup. With that said, you will be greeted cheerfully, and politely assisted in your purchase. Everyone in every department is courteous, and eager to help. Their service and parts departments are honest and helpful. You will have a positive experience here." - DM 10/03

"I bought my bike there ('99 RK Classic), took delivery in July of '99. Jim sells on a lottery basis (you pick model, color, etc.), have to show up on the designated day to get one entry. Sells his bikes for MSRP plus factory mandated shipping and prep charges, no required parts and accessory purchases. Told me that the Motor Company was pressuring him not to sell out of area. An old-style honest dealership where the owner sits in his office with the door open and swapping stories  with anyone who wants to listen." - MT 1/00

"Cannot say enough nice things about this dealership. The owner was very helpful BEFORE I even bought anything from them. I contacted 41 dealers looking for the bike I wanted. The owner advised me on what kinds of questions to ask, etc. Finally, ordered the scoot from them. Paid my deposit July 23rd, 2000. Picked up the scoot Sept 1. Parts manager is very helpful, knowledgeable. During the "Grand Opening" service took my bike in to check a brake problem. Thirty minutes later I was ready to go. Great dealership." - TD 8/01

"Dealt with owner, got bike off the floor at MSRP with no pressure to buy accessories. They made me happy!" - TB 05/03

"Talked to salesman on Thursday to verify that 03 FXSTDSE was available and made appt to see it on the following Sat. Told salesman I was from Illinois (5 hours away) and was assured they would sell to me. Received price of MSRP plus $580 F&P. Made sure salesman had my cell phone # and left Friday night. Spent $80 bucks for a hotel room for my wife and I only to be told the next morning at the dealership that that the Deuce had been sold Wednesday or Thursday. Took me 30 minutes to find my salesman and all he could say was "yea, its gone but you want to look at something else?" Pretty used to rude people but this took the cake...Owner even said he would have sold it to me but it's gone, if I run across another one I'll call ya....yea right." - GS 09/03

"I have a 2002 FLSTC that I asked J. Bailey's H-D to re-jet the carb and install a Arlen-Ness big-sucker air cleaner, the service manager recommended a Yost power tube and  after picking up my bike, I am very glad he did, bike runs extremely well and I feel this dealership is very honest and worthy of all my future Harley needs.  Also they had cleaned up my bike and the price was very affordable. A big thank-you to Jim Bailey's H-D." - MH 11/03

"Spoke with the owner before purchase and after hours.  Very impressed with time and attitude received.  Everything about the order and pickup of my bike went flawless and both salesmen helped me throughout the process regardless of who I initiated the sale with.  They stayed late one night to complete the sale and get me on my way safely.  The accessory guys were very efficient in getting my mods that I requested done when the bike came in.  The sale was easy and by the numbers at MSRP.  No hidden fees or problems.  I wish past car purchases went this easy!" - JJ 03/04

"I called the service dept last week, had a question about how many rpms the rev limiter cut out at on my 05 Tc88.The person said they don't have a rev limiter and then put me on hold. Kinda makes me wonder." - GE 08/05

"These folks always have a decent selection of new H-Ds. Prices are MSRP + freight + set-up  (around $500) + $2,000-$3,000 in accessories and labor. If you like the accessory package you can take one home the same day. Sales are FCFS. The guys in the parts dept. really know their stuff!" - GC 3/01

"I was recently quoted a very good price for a new rear tire and ran over to take advantage. The problem was the meathead quoted me the wrong price for the right tire. A $40 error. Of course nobody remembered talking to me. I didn't even do any fist pounding on the counter and the parts manager sold it to me for the quoted price. $40 isn't going to kill you but anytime you come out ahead at a H-D shop it's a victory." - RP 3/01

"About a 2 year wait list for Softails and Dressers" - TH 9/99

"I have been to Southside HD in Indianapolis and I was not real impressed with their customer service. I thought they were very rude. Do not buy squat their anymore." - RS 11/99

"I am not sure about policies-but on 5-6-00, they had a FLHTCI for 20,000 plus and a FLHTCUI for 21,000 plus on the floor. These bikes were for sale and had zippo for extras-so I'd say that's about 4,000$ in mark-up." - RB 5/00

"Did not buy my bike from this dealer, but they have treated me like I did. Same discount as one of their new customers because they did not have the bike I wanted when I approached them. Have been very helpful. I screwed up a rear brake--they replaced it with a take-off--for free. Great service and parts dept. While being serviced they loaned me a scoot. Nice bunch of people." - TD 8/01

"Asked the salesman about a 1999 FXDX with 2700 miles on it, black, laced wheels and no extras. He said "we sell our bikes at MSRP" and "that bike is priced to sell". The price was $14,995. Steal or Deal....you decide. I did buy a helmet and everyone was very friendly and helpful. I passed on the bike." - JR 03/02

"While on a cross country motorcycle trip, my wife’s 2000 Low Rider backfired through the carburetor when she started it at a gas stop just north of Indianapolis. Then it stalled and would not idle.  It would run if we pumped the throttle and it would run at speed. We consulted the HOG map for local dealers and saw that Eagle H-D was 40 miles away and was on our route. We limped to Eagle H-D where I was greeted by the Service Manager. I explained our problem and he immediately wheeled the bike into the service bay where a mechanic started to work on it immediately. It was about lunch time and we asked about local restaurants. The service manager gave us directions and offered to loan us a bike to get there. When we returned from lunch, my wife’s bike was fixed. The back fire had blown the carburetor loose and when it reseated it cut the intake manifold gasket. The work that they had done was thoroughly explained and all replaced parts were returned to me and the charges were very reasonable. They made a problem go away while we enjoyed lunch at a local restaurant. We couldn’t have been treated better." - KK 07/02

"My 2002 Deuce was rear ended causing extensive damage to the bike, including the frame which had to be replaced. I did not purchase the bike from Eagle, but they treated like I did. My man behind the counter was great, he coordinated all the ordering of parts and kept me informed of what was going on. The tech was did a fabulous job. He put everything back exactly the way it was, and even fixed a couple minor items I had forgot to tell him about. I wouldn't hesitate to let them work on my scooter again and recommend their service department highly." - JR 08/03

"Sells at MSRP, using a lottery system to Indiana residents, you pick the model and color, no extras required. Unfortunately the more you add you're name to lottery, the better your chances. So you almost need to go there every day to get in.  Does give a 10% disc. on P&A to Hog & Abate members" - TH 11/99

"They sell at MSRP via a lottery system. Each year they start a new lottery on June 1 for the next years bikes. Between June 1 and mid-July I put my name in 13 times. I got called on their first (or nearly first) shipment. I got the bike I wanted (FLHRCI) in the color I wonted (black) near the end of August. They are great people to do business with. I highly recommend them." - CT 9/01

"They treated me like family the first time I walked through the door. Everything they told me was the truth. They sold at MSRP out the door, gave 20% off parts and accessories at the time of sale and a 10% HOG discount other times. Harley should require all its dealers to go to Marion and learn how a dealership should be run." - MM 10/01

"See the comments for the Valpo., Kokomo and the Plainfield stores.  The same guys (AKA The Piranha Bros.) own all 4 plus a Honda Dealership located behind the Michigan City Shop and a High priced Used car dealership in front of the Valpo store." - TH 2/01

"I stopped in on Labor Day looking for raingear for an upcoming trip. They didn't have what I wanted in stock but offered to order it.  Although it would be here in a few days I would already be on my trip.  The friendly girl behind the counter took the time to find a dealer along my route that had it in stock. Their bike prices are way too high but the staff is very helpful and friendly." - HE 9/01

"These guys are definitely DEALERS in my book. Great guys to deal with and sell bikes at MSRP." - CJ 03/02

"My first bike, and it was an awesome pleasure to do business here. Salesman, didn't make me feel like a schmuck for buying a Sportster like other places had. I found the bike I wanted right on the floor, made my plea to buy at MSRP, and will say I got a great deal. No pressure to buy any extras, although I am positive I will soon. Everyone in sales, parts, service, and to the great lady who handled my paperwork. These folks are a class act all the way. I felt like this is a truly family run place, and they welcome you into the fold right away. These may be comments from a  first time buyer, and I may be green, but hey, great service is great service!! All  business's could take a lesson from these folks." - TI 4/01

"Relocated to a new building in April.  Appears to be a better neighborhood." - TH 04/02

"Large showroom with a lot of new and used bikes. The sales person seemed very friendly, somewhat knowledgeable,  (and kinda cute!) but she mentioned a standard $550 fee over MSRP to cover delivery, doc fees, and setup fees. Delivery is $180.00, Doc fees are $50.00. $270.00 for setup? All in all they seemed nice to deal with." - SH 04/02

"Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. A lot of SMILING faces. These guys will locate a part (current or obsolete, if it's out there) and get it for you in a reasonable time frame, usually 3-4 working days. A nice selection of new and used motorcycles including Buells. Good website and they also do e-com ordering. Just got a newsletter from these guys via e-mail. E-mail them with your e-mail address and they'll add you to their free newsletter from the dealership. Thank you Calumet H-D, I wish all dealers were like you guys." - RS 03/03

"I bought parts 15 years ago when I was 16 for a old sx 175 dirt bike , if they didn't have it they found it. Treated me with respect for a 16 yo. with not much money. 2 months ago went to their new location and bought my first street bike. Same respect, paid msrp,10 % off parts for a year, and a month after sale they called me by my first name." - DK 09/03

"West Indy has an excellent service department, clean and helpful staff.  On a cross country trip I developed a serious oil leak.  Terre Haute dealership told me good luck when I called them from a rest stop 20 miles out. West Indy said get here by 4:30 & we'll look at it today. Long story short is it was an inner primary leak.  Not only did they get me in, repair the primary and a slew of other nick picky items the GM even got me a reduced rate at a local hotel. On top of that they give a HOG/ABATE discount. If you need service on the road, this is the kind of response you want. If this is how they treat out of town customers with old bikes I can only imagine how good they treat the locals." - KL 10/01

"I bought a 03 Softtail standard off of this dealership in 2/03. I went on my first ride a month later, the bike would miss out through carb. and die. took bike back to dealership they adjusted carb. picked up bike did the same thing, took bike back in they changed intake gaskets, picked bike up problem getting better but still dying, (s.m.) contacted corporate they said it had a "lean cough" that all carb. models will do it because of emission controls. Was told by salesman, (s.m) to just put on pipes and hi-flow air cleaner and the problem would be fixed. This is terrible, you pay 15k for a H-D m/c and are told it will not run right until you pump another 1k in to it? I made the offer to the dealership that I would pay 50% and they meet me at that and we will put on pipes, they chose to treat me like crap, that's ok cause I will now help them with publicity. If there are anybody else exp. a "lean cough" with their 03 CARB. model I am talking to a lawyer about a class action law suit against H-D  We do not have to take bad public relations from any dealership or corporate. Indy West I was willing to work with you on this problem but you chose to basically call me a liar and tell me that my bike did not have any problems and  H/D corporate you chose not to call me back the district mgr. chose not to call me back, so now I will start my campaign against both of you." - DM 06/03

"Both the owner and salesman were VERY pleasant to deal with, right from the get-go!  I ordered a new FLTR at MSRP, they put on the accessories I requested (and no others!), and had it ready to go on time. I've since been back twice for services and they are efficient, friendly and it's easy to get an appointment... in and out in a morning!  I would recommend this dealer to anyone.  Very honest, fair and right across from a Cracker Barrel so you have a place to wait out your service!! :-)  I pass two other H-D dealerships that are not customer friendly on my way to Plainfield ... so guess where my $$$ gets spent?" - JH 03/04

"Just purchased a 2003 Anniversary Gun Metal Pearl Fatboy from these folks! WOW is all I can say! This is the second Fatboy I have bought from these guys and the transactions were nothing but great!!   The whole bunch are awesome. Thanks Guys!  Sold the bike at MSRP, gave me a nice shirt and  included a 1 year membership to their local HOG Chapter. You could not ask to be treated any better. Looking forward to having my new V&H pipes installed at the dealership. Service Dept. is great!  I would buy from them anytime...definitely DEALERS!" - CJ 08/02

"I just bought my new 2004 Ultra Classic last week from these folks, at MSRP I may add. This is my 3rd bike from them and all I can say is that they are a real class act. I had a 2003 Fatboy Anniversary Edition to trade in and the owner was more than fair on the trade-in price and they had all the extras in stock for my Ultra that I wanted. The service dept. had all my extras installed in a professional manner. I bought the bike on a Monday and picked it up on that Wednesday, ready to go. Bike was washed , waxed and setting in front ready to be delivered as promised. They even gave me a year membership with their local chapter and a really nice t-shirt.  They took the time to go through the whole bike with me, and could answer all the questions I had. I have to say thumbs-up to these folks, they are truly DEALERS. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new bike or super service!  It was a real pleasure to purchase from them again! Thanks to all the guys and gals at the H-D Center in Richmond. I wish I could list your names, but you know who you are." - CJ 10/03

"Talked with the owner, he gave me a price for an E-glide Classic that was a tad ($500 or so) over MSRP after set-up, freight, etc. The price did include 3 major scheduled services though. No mandatory accessories required but the wait could be up to a year for certain models. Very nice staff, very helpful and down to earth." - TH 3/00

"Mac has been in business for 40 years. His business grew out of a post WWII vicinity into a prime location. He's one of the friendliest and nicest gentlemen I've ever met. If you are in South Bend, Indiana. Stop by and visit with Mac and his family run business. I'm sure he'd enjoy a cup of coffee or soda with you." - RW 12/04

"I bought an '03 Wideglide there and they have always treated me right. I took it in for my prepaid (at a great deal) checkups and they did a super job. At the 5K check, without me mentioning my clutch was dragging, it was set right and now I can find neutral stopped, as well or better, than any bike I have ridden in over 30 years. So I am very satisfied with their service department and would not hesitate to buy from them again." - RL 07/05

"I have dealt with Wabash Valley a total of 4 times and have had the same terrible service and rotten attitude from the same individuals that work there. If you are looking at buying a new bike then they will knock themselves out to help you out of your money. If your trying to get parts for your older bike or have questions, then forget it. The fact that I needed parts right then and there is the only reason I tolerated them but not again. I have taken my business to Bloomington and they are the nicest folks to deal with. I will continue to visit Bloomington H-D just for the simple fact of not giving my business to Wabash Valley. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Wabash Valley, they are only in it for the new sales and nothing else." - PG 6/01

"Called about a bike that I saw advertised. The salesman told me it was sold, took my name and number and said he would see what was coming in and call me back. He called me back about an hour later and said he had an FXSTD coming in the next day and quoted me MSRP. He held it for me for a week no questions asked. The salespeople were great, the deal went smooth and I am very happy. I would have no problem buying another bike from these folks." - JR 03/02

"I stopped in while passing through town. They were friendly even though I wasn't looking to buy anything.  Big place with several bikes on the floor." - TH 06/04

"I was in there on 11/15/99, they had 3 Softails priced at $23,000, they had maybe $1,200 in extra chrome? I just bought a Softail with $3,000 in extra chrome $18,500 Cant believe this place is doing this? Salesman says that's what there going for, so that's what he selling them for!" - GB 11/99

"What can you say about these guys. They're known as the Piranha Bros. and not just locally The staff is friendly and helpful but the bike prices are ridiculous. A typical new and or used bike will be decked out with several hundred bucks worth of un-necessary chrome do-dads and the price is jacked-up $5k-6k over MSRP." - TH 5/00

"If it weren't for the extreme price gouging on their bikes, except the Buell Blast, this would be a great dealership.  The P&A salespeople and the service people are excellent. I live 3 miles away but because they price gouge on bikes, I'll travel the 75 miles to buy stuff at a different dealer." - PS 2/01

"We sell at MSRP. We are also on a deposit situation. You should get information from the owners or employees. not the public. Hell I could e-mail you information about any dealer. Would that be fair. Please update my website or please take it off your information site. We offer %10 to hog members. We recently had our 50th birthday.
thanks" - Brandt's H-D 10/99

"Visited Brandt's and talked to the salesman. They sell new bikes off of a list which is sold out until 2002 except Sporties. A $500 refundable deposit is required to get on list. You pick the model and color.  They had about a dozen used bikes at decent prices. Salesman was a nice guy, he seemed honest, there's something new." - TH 11/99

"Gave these people $500.00 deposit to get on list for a touring bike. Three years later, still no bike. Called them, they said maybe another year, unless I took an odd colored one they had that had been passed over. I said OK. They charged me $850 freight and set up. I squalled!. They said take it or leave it. Said that was their charge to everyone. Was told later that was not true. I did get the free "T" shirt. Haven't been back since." - NN 12/99

"WOW,  Can't say enough about Kersting's store layout and knowledgeable staff.   Sales, Parts, Clothing and Service all have wonderful people who greet you with a smile and know you by name.  It's the little things that they do to make it worth your while to shop there.  From the free coffee and chat table to the awesome collection of antique bikes.  They sell to anyone and have bikes on the floor ready to buy.  I left my local dealer for Kersting's and have no regrets!" - MS 3/01

"I went to Kersting's H-D to buy a Used part, and not only did I get it at a decent price, but The Owner spent over an hour talking to me and showing me around, WOW, although I like the other stores in my area, Kersting's is #1.  He had new bikes on the floor and in storage, and the price was marked on everyone.  I will be buying my next bike from them."
