What a gorgeous day. I had been looking at a bike that Colonial took in on trade a couple weeks ago.... Gorgeous customized Street Bob... I immediately fell in love with the bike, it was everything and I do mean everything I wanted in a bike. It had a couple issues that Bob had the team fix and today I took it for a test ride... I confirmed my love for this Hard Candy Silver Flake Street Bob. Jenny was with me during the whole process keeping me apprised of where the bike was in this process and when it was finally ready and on the floor she called me to come and check it out. GORGEOUS.... At that point, we started the negotiation process and all I can say is this team took care of me.... They got us where we each needed to be financially and left with each of us being happy. Tommy as always made sure that I did the smart things with GAP and ESP and got me on my way very quickly as he’s done in the past. I’ve never bought a motorcycle over my lunch break before but I would do it again in a heartbeat at Colonial HD. Great people before, during, and after the sale...
