Illinois not too far from the Wisconsin border.what state is this in?
Yes, and also custom grind cams made by Andrews.Was it Libertyville that came out with the X-pipe?
Thanks for that clarification.Closing had nothing to do with anything but wanting to retire.

I want to interject on this conversation before conjecture and speculation runs rampant. I have knowledge of the circumstances behind the dealership's closing.
The store was not losing money. It was economically viable and had great customer service. The store's closing is by no means a reflection on the viability of the Indian brand. Also, this does not have anything to do with covid-19. The lease was expiring, one of the owners wanted to retire elsewhere, and the other owner had other business interests which required his focus.
It's no more complicated than the owners simply cashing in their chips. To read any more into it would be incorrect.
Indian should have stepped in and did something for this place than. This is going to sour the taste of Indian for a lot of riders in that area. What do they do now. Hike it all the way up to Racine now if they have issues? Central IL? I already know a large handful of Harley riders that want to buy an Indian but won't because the dealer network is so far and in between.Closing had nothing to do with anything but wanting to retire.

Usually if a store is not losing money and is profitable, someone would step in and buy it, Seems like an opportunity for someone if that were the case.Closing had nothing to do with anything but wanting to retire.

I concur. If one can purchase a cheeseburger, why can't one get a motorcycle? It isn't like the dealership floors are always packed with people.I don't think anyone would step in right now profitable or not. This Covid bullshit does not bode well for the retail of any product that requires instore purchasing...
Because of all the meat packing plants shutting down we are now limited to single patty burgers only until further notice.......and who knows it may cost $100.I concur.

That was also already posted at the beginning of the threadI live 60 miles from that dealer and service and sales people are excellent. Here’s the story in the streets about why they are closing. There are 2 owners in this dealership. One wants to retire and just wants out. The other has another much bigger business that needs all his attention right now. Also the lease on the building is up end of the month. I got this from a friend I know who lives up that way and deals with them. Again it’s also what he’s been told
