Avalanche H-D Has Moved
The new Avalanche Harley-Davidson shop, out where Heritage Square used to be.
I received an offer of a free pair of fancy ear plugs to review and all I needed to do was come out to Avalanche Harley-Davidson for their May Bike Night and connect with the vendor at their booth. Just to be sure, I googled Avalanche before I headed out and good thing! They moved.
A big space with lots of new bikes.
So OK, I didn’t waste my time going to the wrong place.
And what a huge, fancy new place it is. They have got to have at least 120 bikes on site ready for sale, and it’s not at all unusual to see bikes being ridden right in and out the front doors to/from the display floor.
Now, when someone buys a bike things really let loose. They fire up some loud music and then the buyer steps up and rings this big bell, announcing to everyone that they are now the proud owner of a new Harley. Then all the floor staff line up to shake the new owner’s hand. They make a big deal out of it.
So it makes me wonder. I’ve been reading for some time how motorcycle sales are dropping, and Harley especially is having trouble because the big cruisers they make don’t appeal to the young riders all the brands are looking for. This big new facility cannot have been cheap, and it is pretty much the standard for all the Harley shops across the country. Is somebody getting ready to take a big financial fall, or are these places going to continue to thrive? I have no idea. It will be interesting to see in the next few years.

Gawd’s honest truth, never give up the asphalt…The bike wants to turn more than you do, at least try to help it do so…
