"Just wanted to say thanks for the open arms upon our arrival at Black Widow Harley. The 346 mile ride from Georgia was well worth the trip. Armand and Sonny, it was a pleasure meeting both of you and thanks again for the BW treats we received...everyone loved them and wanted me to thank you again.
We will return with more brothers in arms next time. How do I post or send photos and/or a story or 3? Again, thanks for everything. We had a blast and look forward to our next meeting (Maybe we can get Armand to show us a watering hole or 2).

"Many greetings from Germany and thanks for the friendly service. During the period from 10.07 to 10.11.2010 we had rented two HD motorcycles, Road King and Ultra Classic. Two excellent bikes. We strongly suggest you further and will remain so in the future your customers."
By: Hans E., Germany

"I visited your establishment with my friend Lyman White from Englewood, FL in May of this year. I was treated with the utmost respect during my visit and will come by to say hi during my next visit to Florida. I would love to purchase a couple of your Black Widow T-Shirts to show them off in Texas. The size I wear is XXXL, which is a challenge to find up here."
By: Jonscott H.,Texas

"David Browning in sales was great in assisiting me with my recent purchase. He was patient and took time to listen to my needs and what I was looking to get out of my ride. I look forward to my next bike purchase with him at the helm working for me. Once the cycle purchase was complete, the ladies at the merchandise counter were on the spot to assist my wife and me in hetting helmets that met our needs along with proper fit. Then it was off to rain gear where they guided us into the proper equipment based on the type of riding we were anticipating. On my behalf, thank your staff for a job well done!"

"Well, Peggy and I made it back to the real world and are preparing to return to work tomorrow ƒ¼. It¡¦s gonna be a rough Monday! We wanted to thank the entire Black Widow HD group for a great time with the rental and the poker run. We met a lot of really nice riders on the run; and the food, prizes, and camaraderie were awesome. A special thanks to Janet in sales on the clothing floor. We came in several times (I think six!) and she was always very nice and helpful. The Road King was a great ride, and both guys in the rental department were professional and very helpful. We hope to be able to get back down to FL and get together with the Black Widow HD group again. I have attached a couple pictures of the ride and rental experience. Thanks again for a great time."

"Marion, Sonny and Dave rocked the house. I did my paperwork over the phone from the Panhandle. When I finally got down to PC everyone at BWHD was off the chain helpful. This is my seventh HD and this is by far the best dealership I have come accross. These folks give a sh#@ about their customers and it showed. Thanks again guys."
By: Roy D., Milton, FL

"The Hogs for Dogs event was a class a venue……you should be proud…………."
By: Joe C., Englewood, FL

"Black Widow Harley-Davidson's commitment to our community was never more evident than this past Saturday, when they hosted the "Hogs For Dogs" event to benefit the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County. The event was extremely well organized, well-publicized and offered a variety of activities throughout the day. Since all proceeds went to support the homeless animals from Charlotte County, I am so grateful for their efforts and dedication to this cause that is so important to me. We are very fortunate to have Black Widow H-D in our community."
By: Michele R. Director of Marketing Fawcett Memorial Hospital, Port Charlotte, FL

"Thanks Marion for your blog comment below! For 10 years I have been on a mission to buy a bike and learn to ride. I finally got my license 2 weeks ago and I'm currently working with Derek to buy a bike. I have been battling cancer for 3 years, I have lost both breasts and my ovaries, thankfully I'm in remission. Now is the time to move forward as I realize that life is short and you should follow your dreams. I wish I would have done this 10 years ago. My daughter calls me everyday and tells me to go and buy that bike. I'm so happy that I came across your blog, it was empowering to me personally and I'm sure to many others."
By: Nancy, Florida

By: Lutz Knoechel, Dortmund, Germany

"I just purchased my first Harley (Iron 883). I love it. Derek in the sales department was great. He didn\'t try to push a sale on me nor talk me out of anything. I have been back to the dealership to purchase various merchandise since, and everyone is very nice & helpful. I will soon be adding accesories to my bike & I am confident I will get the same respect and degree of support that I have recieved thus far. You guys (and gals) have a good thing going at your dealership. Keep up the great work!"
By: Paul T., Port Charlotte, FL

"When asked on a Service Department Survey, 'How was the attitude of the personnel at Black Widow Harley-Davidson,' Al's reply was, 'Of all the dealerships I've been to over the years, your's is the BEST.'"
By: Al Underkofler, PA

"I have never been to your dealership...but am quite familiar with your owner...I was the service manageer of Mancher Harley in New Hampshire for several years and did business with Armand Pinard, wondering if he's still riding a glide instead of a king...anyway he's a good man and I would do business with him anyday...keep up the good work..."

"This ride absolutely kicked ass!!!! ("No Boys Allowed" Poker Run on May 2, 2009) PLEASE have another one again soon! Three friends that were not able to make this one are already asking me "when" for the next one."
By: Michelle Hansen, Venice, FL

"I bought my first Harley at Port Charlotte HD in November 2007. It was definitely a great experience, and Joe in sales was phenomenal. Fast-forward to present day-I've had my bike serviced a few times, and I am ALWAYS impressed by the care that Dave and crew take with my bike. I always get the feeling that they REALLY care, like they're taking care of their brother's bike.
Also, I'm not what you would call a "mechanical" guy, and I've seen places where you're treated like a second-class citizen if you don't know all of the terminologies and nomenclature of Harleys. NOT HERE. Dave and crew will sit and talk with you on your level, and give you the love and respect of a fellow rider. Thank you!
On a side note, but very important as well, Dave really took care of my father who was visiting from out of town with his Iron Horse chopper. My father had some carb troubles, and Dave had us bring it in on the fly (even though they were backed up at least a week in service). They got us back up and running within a day, and kept us up to speed on everything that was going on, along with suggestions and advice. This was fantastic, especially considering that Iron Horse bikes are notoriously difficult to work on.
Thank you Dave and team."

"All you folks have been great to me for 3 yrs now. I and my bikes are treated with respect, courtesy, friendliness, and speed in service. all the employees have helped make my experiences there enjoyable. I have only come across one issue currently. I purchased a new 2009 Roadking and while the bike is great the leather saddlebags are constructed very poorly. the adhesive actually comes off the underside of the lids and has to be cleaned off the sides of the bags constantly. Some of the leather was not glued to the plastic frame in places. one lid cover is taut, the other is wavy and loose. Currently it appears as I will have to deal with Harley Davidson customer directly myself to achieve satisfaction. I have purchased 3 bikes and spent many thousand dollars for accessories and believe the issue should be rectified. For 20,000.00 the saddlebags should look nicer. I would have purchased a regular FLHR had I known. while I wont't stop my patronage I don't feel treated fairly as a loyal customer. I have also referred many friends to you.
This is my follow up letter concerning saddlebags on my new RoadKing Classic. As I had submitted before the bags were not a good example of workmanship. Some places had too much adhesive and it was sticking the lids to the sides,some other places had no adhesive at all to hold leather to frame. I decided to request a new bag. Once again the folks at Black Widow came thru big time for me. They took photos of the faulty bag, sent them to Harley and in a week I had a new bag. Both Black Widow and HD are to bee commended for their service.
As I stated before I have never been treated with anything but respect and cooperation from these guys. From Eric in sales, Dave&John in service, Tom&Rick in parts, they have all been cooperative, friendly, speedy, and knowledgeable. I have dealt with a lot of HD people and none come close to these guys for service. Thanx again!!!!"
By: Douglas W., Englewood ,FL

"I was very pleased and satisfied with the service I received from your service department. The personel were outstanding,and received MUCH BETTER service then a dealership south of you. In the future when purchasing items rest assured I will be making the trip to your dealership. Thanks again for your great workmanship and kindness."

"Purchased a Sporster for my wife, was a really easy process, with great service. Also have my 07 Electra Glide in service and they're doing a great job."
By: James P., Lehigh Acres ,FL

"This past July 2008, I bought a 2008 Road Glide in Crimson, with detachable tour pack, stage one kit, and GPS (Conquest). I bought the motorcycle from Black Widow Harley Davidson ... they proved to be an excellent dealership and would recommend them to anyone wanting a Harley."
By: Dr. T., Sarasota,FL

I bought my 2007 Road King Custom from Joe, who made it a seamless process. He was knowledgable, spent plenty of time with me and gave great customer service. The deal was excellent. (I shopped around before deciding to buy at this dealership.)"
By: Duane, Punta Gorda,FL

"I told Joe about my Bad experience with an HD dealer south of Black Widow and told him that they had made me so mad I threw everything I had with HD on it away and was ready to give up on my dream of owning a Harley. Joe showed me exactly what could be done to get me on a New FatBoy. He also brought Jaime over to meet me and explain how they could help me. Needless to say they both had me smiling before I rushed out the door to bring my trade back from home. Got back in time to get the deal done the same day. The Service Department evaluated my trade and gave me a great price. From that point on Jaime took care of getting me squared away on financing and explained everything I needed to know on the subject. Joe also took care of getting the windshield I wanted installed and had my bike ready to go when I was done. I'm sure I missed saying something about how well I was treated here, but I'll never forget how happy I was riding away on a New Harley Davidson. GREAT DEALERSHIP. GREAT PEOPLE."
By: Richard, Cape Coral,FL

"Hey Big Armand It's simple! I was at a different dealership and it seemed as if it was filled with a high pressure sales staff who competed with each other. I refused to buy there. Then Black Widow came along. Upon first visit, I knew the experience would be different. The people here seemed... Well... Happy. And no matter the misconceptions, we as bikers are, for the most part, a jolly folk. No pressure sales. Just answers to my questions. Then, in the end, a seat for me to park my can upon. Great base purchase. We all know we are going to customize. That's what we do. I was out of town at Bike week. I decided I needed some of that customizing. At the last second I backed out. I remember how the staff treated me at Black Widow. So, I brought it home for my needs. Great decision on my part. Again, I am greeted by a wonderful staff that seems genuinely happy to be there. Stay on track brothers and sisters, and I'll always bring it home for more work. And John... We'll see how good the shop is when you get to my stage 2 kit. See ya next week for Stage 1."

"Great dealership with a friendly staff."
By: Ron, Cape Coral,FL

"Sonya was the initial contact with the company and made me feel right at home. Gave me Joe's card. Joe did a great job steering me to a bike that fits pretty well. The service guys were patient permitting me to test ride several bikes to see what was best and when I came back in for a minor adjustment did it right on the spot. Wish that there would be a better seat selection so I can make this XL fit me like a glove."
By: Jeff, North Port,FL

"I have bought 2 harleys in 2 years from Harley of Pt. Charlotte. Very friendly and family feeling business. Derek has done agreat job on making me a killer fatboy and then a road glide. All the guys and gals are so helpful. You will be very happy with your purchase from them."

The entire staff was top notch. When the time comes to purchase another motorcycle, there is no doubt that I will be heading back to them."
