After the unexpected announcement that Southern Tier Harley-Davidson would no longer be a franchised Harley-Davidson dealer as of November 1, it was assumed another landmark dealership was going under… Far from it! Here is the note they shared with staff and customers announcing their independence:
Exciting news for our customers, friends, and family!
Jason, Kevin, and Henry will be moving forward as owners and operators of our business at 1152 Upper Front Street. The entire team has worked side by side at STHD for several years and have thoroughly enjoyed this industry. These three have strived to help make our customers’ dreams a reality either through parts, sales, or service. We have an undying passion for motorcycles, parts, camaraderie, and are committed to serving our riding community!
We are excited to continue operating as an independent shop in our same location with the same operating hours. We will continue to offer sales, service, parts, MSF classes, inspections, and accessories to everyone on two (sometimes three) wheels!
Honesty, loyalty, and transparency are paramount to our new vision and venture, which is exactly why we want to share every step of this transition with you. Riding, wrenching, and powersports are in our DNA.
Our passion and excitement are, and will forever be fueled by V-Twins. We will continue to specialize in H-D motorcycles while ALSO branching out into the world of multi-brand used powersports sales, service, parts, and everything in between.
We value all of our current customers, and look forward to our many new ones in the near future. We thank you so much for the positive reinforcement and support over the last week as we embark on this new chapter! Our brand new name will be dropping soon, make sure you stay tuned.
We look forward to your next visit, and we will see you soon!
— Jason, Kevin and Henry
