Honda of Lawrenceville, GA

[RibsST1300]

I was out near Atlanta this weekend, and stopped in...
They had 2 07 ST's on the floor, one ABS, one not..

I was not real impressed.

I looked around-they had a ton of used bikes. Many of the used bikes were damaged or less than desirable. I saw an ACE 1100 with a crushed front fender and bent forks for sale, another bike with no seat and some wiring hanging out, and a Valkarie, with it's rear axel backing out-the nut was half on, and the axel had backed out and was impacting the Exhaust. I happened to point this out to one of the staff and he just kind of laughed..I said several of these used bikes were not roadworthy, and he laughed again, said "Yeah I know!" and walked away....

I bought my 06 from them and they were fine. I've done my own service so far and may not take mine to them for service. Priced a back tire from them recently and felt like I was back at Harley Davidson taking a beating. They wanted $186 for a Battalax 021 plus $91 for installation. Went to 2 Brothers Motorcycle Tires in Lawrenceville (about 5 minutes from the dealership) and got the tire with installation while I waited for $164. And they were nice.

The Honda dealer in Athens, GA is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!

I was in Athens this summer and they went out of their way to replace the header gasket on my Aero for me (including staying an hour after they'd closed so they could get my bike back to me because they knew I was on the road). While I was there, someone from Mass. was in town and had crashed their Buell on the Blue Ridge Parkway but managed to cripple it down to Athens. The folks there actually took the parts off one of the NEW bikes on the floor so the person wouldn't have to wait for the parts to ship in. (When's the last time a dealer did that????).

If I lived anywhere nearby, I'd ride the extra miles to do business with them.

BTW, the Honda dealer in Conyers, GA gave me the cold shoulder when I took the Aero in for the header gasket. Even though they knew I was on the road and traveling they told me the SOONEST they could get to it was "sometime next week" and I'd need to leave the bike! :eek:
