Grand Junction Harley-Davidson

My front tyre was in need of replacing, and the Leading Ladies needed to be serviced(!) so day 115 saw me divert to Grand Junction in Colorado and the H-D dealer there. I had called just two days earlier and they were able to do the tyre and the service first thing in the morning. That meant leaving Moab early and riding the 117 miles in the chilly morning temperatures. By the time I got there I was cold.

The dealership is big....




































































This is Ryan, the technician working on my bike....



















I have to say, they were very good. The bike felt much better after the work than before. They had even cured a rattle that I couldn’t find the source of. Good job guys!

On the return journey, now in the warm, I crossed the 17,000 miles point of my tour. Hear is the ‘000 mile photo, taken on US 191 heading south towards Moab....

I think you are gonna love Moab area. I love southern Utah. Are you gonna' hit Bryce, Natural Arches and Zion? You are in for a treat!

Glad the dealer was a good one. I'm happy with the one we bought our bikes at. Rider's Harley Davidson in Trussville, Alabama. It looks a lot like this one.
Ride safe Gary!

BB – It is a small world sometimes.

Dave – The Moab area was fantastic! There is just so much to see around there. I have now done all of those parks you mentioned (posts to come soon) and I think the southern Utah / northern Arizona area is my favourite. No wonder you like it.

Eve – Some H-D dealers are really good and this one was, but I know some people (FLHX Dave included) have experienced not-so-good work by some.
