Covering long distances, riding from coast to coast or the length of the US, Harley have been doing so for well over 100 years. While the other marques might have their Chieftains and their Goldwings’, none have a touring range with as much soul. These guys created the genre. And they have the range to prove it.

These days that range consists of bikes like the Road Glide, in its many derivatives, with massive luggage carrying capacity as well as the most up to date electronics. These include state of the art sound systems, seat and grip heating, cornering ABS, drag slip control, traction control and cruise control. Some even have Apple Car Play!

All of the range have a strong heritage that goes back a long way. Cleverly, however, H-D have stayed true to the original bikes styling, with only incremental changes to how any of their bikes look down through the years.

This weekend sees Waterford Harley-Davidson throw open their doors for their open day. Stars of the show will be a range of previously owned touring machines with the Ultra, the Ultra Limited, the Ultra Classic and even an Ultra CVO on offer as well as the companies Road King.

Preparing one of these bikes to the standard that the dealership demands is a very comprehensive process indeed.

A technician, who must be fully trained to H-Ds’ standards, signs a full 110 point checklist, thus confirming that the bike has been finished to the required standard.

In addition to this the bike is also checked for outstanding finance ‘leans’ on the machine, a service history check, which also verifies the bikes mileage, as well as an insurance database check. This last on confirms that the bike has never been written off.

The end result of the process is a bike that comes with a guarantee on all the mechanical and electrical components on the bike. This is underwritten by Harley-Davidson themselves. Backing this up is a full year of roadside assistance in partnership with Allianz insurance. Riders even get a reduction on their HOG membership.

All of the team at the dealership are enthusiastic motorcyclists. They ride their bikes to work; they love their machines and know how much their customers are going to be involved with their own Given the latitude to prep the bikes as they would prep their own allows for one hell of a premium delivery for the customer.

At the Waterford dealership all the bikes that go out do so with a full tank of juice and each one is taxed. As the boss says, “On the road means on the road. We only sell bikes that are ready to ride”. Waterford Harley-Davidson are on 051844200. Drop in and see Mo, rumour has it that he has some fantastic prices for the day that’s in it…
