Dave's Journey to Owning Northwoods Harley‑Davidson®
A Passionate Affair with the Iconic Brand
My first experience with Northwoods Harley‑Davidson® was as a customer. After selling my first Harley®, a 1985 FXR, I was in search of a touring bike. It was then that I met Andrew at the dealership and purchased my first touring model, a 2012 Limited. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of my
journey. Joining the HOG Chapter
The excellent service and the camaraderie I felt at the dealership led me to join the Harley® Owners Group (HOG) Chapter. The HOG Chapter became my second family. We embarked on numerous rides, explored new terrains, and created memories that would last a lifetime. The sense of belonging and the freedom of the open road were unparalleled. From Employee to Owner
After becoming the director of the HOG chapter. I was invited to work part-time at the store. Working at the dealership gave me a new perspective on the business. I learned about the intricacies of running a dealership, from customer service to sales and management. My admiration for the brand and the dealership grew stronger. After many conversations and considerations, we came to an agreement: I would purchase the dealership. It was a monumental decision, but one that I embraced wholeheartedly. Owning Northwoods Harley‑Davidson® was not just a career move; it was the culmination of my journey as a passionate rider and an ardent supporter of the brand. The Road Ahead
My journey from a Harley‑Davidson® enthusiast to the owner of Northwoods Harley‑Davidson® has been nothing short of extraordinary. It is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the bonds formed through a shared love for riding. As I look to the future, my goal is to continue fostering a community of riders who share the same love for Harley‑Davidson® and to keep the spirit of adventure alive. Northwoods Harley‑Davidson® is more than just a dealership; it is a hub for riders to connect, share stories, and embark on new journeys.
