    G'day ireland, from a fellow Melbourne newby. I've found heaps of info on this forum and I'm interested to see what opinions people have on this. I'm not a native so I bought mine close to where I live, not much study went in to it.

    Welcome to the forum mate.

    Welcome Seamus, i was over in Limerick last year and Valentia island the year before, you`ll like the weather here, have you tried Geelong Harley? l`ve never bought a bike off them but i like dealing with them, a mate bought a new Fatboy a couple of weeks ago and he is happy with the deal he got.

    Thanks Houli,my mum is from Limerick always rains there hope you had a good few pints of guinness when you were there,have talked on the phone to Geelong harley they were very helpfull,my nearest dealer is Peter Stephens Dandynong have been in a few times they seem ok but do they look after you after you buy the bike?Had a test run on 883 iron and 1200 custom at Shepparton Harley they were great but a bit far away.

    Hey Seamus,

    I bought mine from P/S Dandy and have no complaints. My mate has bought two from there and a bad attitude from one of the sales guys meant he bought his next one from Harley City, but other than that they seem ok. We'll have to catch up sometime for a guiness, I love the stuff!
