Southwest Missouri dealers?

Moving to southwest Missouri and I see two dealers listed. Anybody deal with El Dorado Cycle in El dorado Springs? They will be the closer of the two.

no problem here

I bought my 2008 america from Randy there at El dorado cycle. excellent buying experience. he let me take the bike for a test ride and was open to the idea of letting me take it for the day! Very nice and up front on the price. Less than I could find else where. I was moving from Alaska to Georgia, with a stop in Arkansas, when i bought the bike. I have put 12,000 on the bike in a year and have had no issues. I had a great experience buying from him and would travel the 1200 miles to do it again.. Jeff

They're my regular dealer now that I'm living in this area. Great folks.

Who else do you see listed in southwest Missouri??? The only other shop I'm aware of in the western half of the state is Engle Motors in Kansas City, which is northwest MO, to say the least! They're good folks, too... but you won't find anyone more capable and accomodating than Randy and his crew at El Dorado, and the traffic is a lot easier to handle there!

No one else in Southwest Missouri. I guess I was including Kansas city since they are so close.

Close? Well, maybe by Texas standards...

"Yup, I used to have a truck like that, too."

Well when you are used to driving three hours to Dallas or two and a half hours to Houston just for a meeting and some barbecue, Kansas City is close.

I have bought two bikes from Engle Motors, great bunch of people. I have also been to El dorado Cycle, Randy is super nice and takes time to chat and answer all your questions. I would have no problem going to either one, but for me Engles is quite a bit closer. I feel lucky having two great dealers in the area.

Engle is just over 3 hours from Fayetteville; considering that Little Rock is just about 2 1/2 hours, I'd call Kansas City "close."

Somebody who's used El Dorado: How fast can they get parts? Bike Bandit is pissing me off and I imagine the dealer will be faster, and I'm willing to pay for shipping (and I'd rather keep a good dealer in business).
