"Jim's Staff:
I credit your Skilled Riders Course for saving my life and the life of
my longtime girlfriend. I purchased a 2009 Heritage Softail Classic
from Jim's in November 2008 and took the Skilled Riders Course on
January 17, 2009. The Course leader was a young African American, I
believe his name was Charles and an older gentlemen, Bob. One of the
skills we practiced was hitting an obstacle in the road by going
straight over it without braking and some throttle just before impact,
we used a 2 X 4 for this practice.
On March 8th 2009 we were returning from Daytona Bike Week on the Harley
and after a great ride through Ocala National Forest we got on I 75 just
West of Leesburg, FL. We had not been on I 75 for more than a few
minutes when we noticed a truck with an open trailer pulled off on the
side of the road in a position to come back on which started to slow
everyone, just a bit and bunch the heavy traffic up. We were still
moving at 70 mph. In the blink of an eye, the two cars ahead of me
swerved violently to their left exposing a full size box springs from a
mattress set directly in my path. With a split second decision, I went
straight through and over the box springs. The reason we knew it was a
box springs is because of the loud noises as parts were breaking as we
went over it. Surprisingly, my Heritage stayed very straight and
stable. Had I not taken the Skilled Riders Course I may have attempted
to brake or swerve, obviously, I followed the correct course of action.
An interesting sideline to this story is the fact that when I stopped to
inspect my Harley for damage, there was not a scratch other than my
Guardian Bell had been ripped away. We had just received the Guardian
Bell the week before from a good friend. Our first phone call was to
this friend to thank him and to advise him we would appreciate him
getting another one for us.
We love our Harley, one of the best decisions I have ever made. Please
pass this message onto your instructors.
Scott Davis"

"I had a great time with the bike this past weekend. I really enjoyed it. I also wanted to say thank you to Tony, in rentals, for staying late. It was my fault for being late returning the bike. Tony staying after hours really meant a lot to me. I'm going to recommend your dealership to all my friends, family and co-workers. Everybody I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Once again, thank you."

"My husband has owned a Fatboy for quite a few years and has always came to Jim's for service, parts and any other accessories. The entire staff has always give us excellent service each and every time we visit the dealership. Earlier this year, Jim's announced a Ladie's Garage Party to be held in August. With my husband's advice, I agreed to attend just to learn more about motorcycling. Make note, I have never driven any type of motorcyle whatsoever, always been on the back. At the Garage Party, I learned so much about bikes from parts and service to selecting the proper bike. I was beginning to feel the urge. I ended up being the lucky one and actually won the Rider's Edge Course, so I signed up for the all women's class held in October. The weeks leading up to the course, I was excited, scared and very intimidated. Within the first few hours of the course, I knew I wanted to learn more. On the actual riding days, I learned so much and felt like I was an experienced driver. The instructors, John and Charles, were absolutely amazing. I had so much fun and left there with the knowledge of a true motorcycle driver. Days after passing the course, I began to drive my husband's Fatboy. It was like I have been driving for years. Now I am searching for a bike of my own, preferrably a Fatboy so I can join my husband as a driver and not always looking at the back of his head. To make a long story short, Jim's Harley and the Rider's Edge instructors have brought out a desire that I never knew I had or even dreamed of having. I now understand the true feeling of riding in the wind. Jim's entire staff are remarkable people and I enjoy coming into to the dealership even to just say helo."

"I've been riding most of my life and recently decided to purchase a new Harley. After looking at several bikes, I found the one I had to have. I told Mike, the salesman, I would be back the next day with my Husband to buy it. I'm sure he has heard that before but, true to my word, I came back the next day with my husband and bought my 2008, HD 883Low. Since the purchase, Jim's has become our second home. Everyone is always friendly and courteous. We always feel welcome, and we look forward to the weekly events. Now, my husband is looking to buy a Harley for himself. When he does, we will be buying it from Jim's. "

"I highly recommend the Skilled Rider Course to any rider of any experience level. Even though conditions this Saturday were less than ideal - hot and humid with thunderstorms marching across the riding range from time to time - the instructor, coaches, and students put in a fantastic effort. Having ridden a variety of bikes over the past 40 years, I still measurably improved my skills and gained valuable confidence in by taking this course. As the only sport bike rider in the group, I was especially impressed by the way I was immidiately welcomed into the group. I gained a whole new appreciation for the challenges involved in riding cruisers and enjoyed sharing the day with this group of dedicated riders who take their sport and their machines seriously, yet want to have fun safely. It's a great course, well worthwhile, and I will probably take it again one day just to be sure I'm still at the top of my game. It's the only smart way to ride."

"Jim's Harley-Davidson treated me with respect and answered any questions I had with knowledge of the bikes they where selling. Unlike others I had gone to in the area ,Tampa ,Clearwater, they only seemed to want to sell you what they had on the floor,even if it wasn't what you wanted.IF they even would deal with you(Clearwater).
Even after a year of owning my '07 they still treat me the same as they did the first day I walked into their showroom."

"My husband and I are from Salem NH and we decided to take a road trip to the Tail of the Dragon and then to Florida. On the way to Florida one of our shocks blow and also caused damage to the rear tire. I called my dealer in Manchester NH to find out if it was covered under our warranty and they said no even after I told him we had the extended warranty. So we called Jims expecting to pay a lot of money to fix every thing. But after telling Chris what had happened while making the appointment he said that not right and took it a step further and called Dominic. Thanks to Chris and Dominic we found out that everything was covered under the warranty. They went above and beyond what my own dealer did and that was great. We ended up visiting the shop a few times and getting all of our t-shirts from there. Everyone was great, from the lady with the broken arm, Chris, Dominic, the guy from NH (sorry don't remember your name) to all the guys in parts and service.
I wanted to send an extended thank you to everyone.
You all are a awesome team!
Thank you again."

"I recently bought a new HD Heritage Softail Classic and although it is far from the first bike I have ever owned it is however, the first brand new one . Sadly, I did not buy it from your dealership and and I'm now wishing that I did. I had the worst buying experience ever and was just plain pissed off about how that particular dealership handled their sales towards women. Long story short, I just wanted to compliment your dealership on the way you seem to support women riders and include them in your events. I have received many of your event notices and emails and had to tell you how impressed I was to see how included women are within your dealership. It is great to know there are dealerships out there that appreciate the fact that more and more women are buying their own bikes, totally on their own and are not patronized, talked down to or taken advantage of by your staff. It's reassuring and I had to give you a thumbs up. I have always been a solo rider, ride everywhere all the time...(it's my car, so to speak), I have usually kept to myself and not participated in many group events, but am planning to check out some of yours this week.
Thanks again for recognizing independent women.
S.D."

I knew I wasn’t just purchasing a bike, but was creating a long time relationship. I’ve already referred one friend to Adam because I knew that Adam would treat my buddy with the same respect he treated me with.
