I just found out that over the weekend, Blacktown Harley have become Harley Heaven Western Sydney.  As Harley-Heaven are in Melbourne, Dandenong, Ringwood, Adelaide and Sydney, i was wondering what people think of them as a group and if this is going to be a good thing for the H-DB customers.

This is from the H-DB Facebook page:

Dear Riders,

i would like to say a big thank you for all your support, service & loyalty throughout the years, Harley-Davidson of Blacktown has been servicing the Harley-Davidson family for over 30years. We have enjoyed your company in the store and on our infamous rides.

The next chapter begins as we have joined the Harley-Heaven group and we will be trading as Harley Heaven Western Sydney.

i would like to extend a warm welcome to all H-DB customers to drop in to our now HHWS store. Catch up with the familiar faces & experience the new journey first hand.

Please keep an eye out on our HH Facebook page to join our events and rides.

Thank you again, Daniel Brown"

So does this mean that the dealership has been sold in full or part? Does anyone know who the original owners were?

They are part of a massive company called Motorcycle Holdings they also own Team moto . Obviously on a expansion plan because they bought Trivett Harley a while ago and a few others. now they've got Sydney wrapped up there only competition will be Frasers.

Good ,, Bad , or indifferent,, looks like that's the way its going, large corporations sucking up all the dealerships... Most of the country/regional dealerships will probably stay individual owned... The only two large city dealerships ,(in the east), that are still privately owned,that I know of, are Richardsons in Tassie,, and Gasoline Alley in Brisbane...

Therefore they should be able to offer much cheaper bikes.

Just bought my 2016 Street Glide Special from HH Alexandria, they did a great deal for me on the bike, but my servicing I still take it to Frasers Wollongong, they look after both my bikes.

Yeah, Gasoline Alley owned by the husband and wife team from Canada.
They seem a nice couple.

I like Harley Heaven here in Melbourne. The parts folks in the city and Ringwood stores know their stuff when it come to modern bikes. An Evo will often get them stumped though as half of the team are younger than my bike!

There are also some damn good Indies down here as well...Doc Hogs in Bayswater being one of them.
