It's a shame what's happening at your chapter, FLHT. I've heard that H.O.G. is a pretty good organization overall. What happened to the democratic process of members voting for their officers? Sounds like you have a dictator running things!

Just Advertise for that dealer. Let your biker friends know what a P--k he is. My local dealer is paying the price for bad word of mouth advertising. He's LOADED with new bikes. Nobody will go there. He'll surelly be selling franchise soon. Gone are the days when riders would stop by just to have a destination. Now They'll ride a couple hrs. to other dealers. Sc--w him.!!! :cussing::angry:

what happened with the dealer that caused him to have such a bad rep?

Man the list was endless. Warrenty work took forever to schedule. Some warrenty jobs he was charging people for. Service dept.was a dissaster. Would'nt budge on prices. Sales people would talk to customers as if you were stupid. Overall attitude of everyone in the place. Any parts you needed would have to be ordered after you pay up front. For me the straw was broken fairing bracketts they would'nt warrenty. Imagine your driving yoy car and a fender falls off,wouldnt you expaect car company would fix it? 'Tried getting a S.E.compensator,"we just sold the last one,will order u one if you pay now. Same story for almost any part. EVeryone is now ordering everything online. I ordered a battery today, $98 free dellivery,no tax.H-D wants $170. They're whole attitude is out of touch with reallity.:witsend:

Dont get me wrong. I want everyone to be able to earn. That includes paying a fare price for something I need, plus the convienence of being able to walk into a H-D and get what I need. But nowadays you feel like a number not a Customer. This place was recently sold,I'm told to a wealthy lawyer. The previous owner must have had plans to sell for a while 'cause the treatment started while he was still there. The sales people make NO salery now, just commission. This is a BIG place I'm talking about. People are traveling far from Palm bay to purchase Harley's. No Wonder !

JohnnyBiker was just telling me that the H.O.G. chapter that he just joined was number 1 in the country in raising money for the USO out of 650 chapters in the country.

Um, I am not sure. He will find that out at the next meeting. There will be dignitaries at the meeting and having a huge dinner too.

I think I might go with on the next one. The oldest daughter is our babysitter! Got to love that.

Today HR and I are actually going to be able to make a H.O.G. meeting. Ever since we have joined we ahve been just blasted with looking for a different house. We are going to take the bike and of course HR is going to be on the back. We are getting ready to go on a couple of chapter rides. I am pretty excited for that. I am kind of curious how the large group rides are. As of now, I really only ride with three or less bikes.

Tonight was my first meeting as a chapter member. I will have to say that this meeting was really good. I would say there were about 100 members present tonight and we introduced 11 new members. We discussed a lot of things at tonight's meeting, especially the upcoming rides. There are probably 5 rides that I will be going on here in the next month, I have to put miles on so why not?

Had many dealings with THAT Dealer(SpaceCoast H-D). Bought 2 bikes there. Customer service (whitch wasn't good to begin with) completely dissappeared with the new owners. All new staff worried about their jobs. Won't deal with them again. Absolutelly no customer appreciation. Every body in these parts travels to Orlando.

Well, I have to say that I think that H.O.G. Sucks!!! I think that I say that because I simply am too far away from the chapter and that because of my work schedule, I can't participate in a lot of the activities that are put on. That and I think that there are just way too many people joining the chapter every month. Along with this, I think that I am discovering that I much rather ride alone (of course with Hot Rider) or just a couple of other people. Although I do think that I will keep my membership active and attend meetings because I get MVP points for attending, those are valuable when they add up.
