Review of Illinois Harley-Davidson

I always wonder about that high-1 star rating for this place! I hate writing long stories but I see I don't have a choice here today so...
I got a taste of it today! Some people in the reviews described it as doing them a favor I call it selling a name! I visited here to replace a pair of gloves that were stolen from the trunk of my bike that I borrow from one of my friend. Come to find I don't think they make them anymore. What's that wasn't the problem the lady was very pleasant and very helpful! It wasn't until I mingled with the sales staff! I am a hearing impaired individual since I'm very good at lip reading I do not have to usually tell anybody they need to speak up unless they have broken English! So today I walked around looking at the newer model Harleys thinking about doing a line to line comparison to the Indians! Since I know one or the other will be Direction I go next year when my warranty runs out on my present motorcycle. So I had a Salesman eventually walk up to me after wandering around for about 15 minutes and I asked him about a 2017 FLHXS because I've never seen this flat black before and it caught my attention! He explained a little bit and then went into salesman tactic mode... which annoying me I hate tactic users! Money!! So at that point I decided to tell the truth to him why I was very hesitant about buying Harley after the three I previously owned prematurely failed which cost me a deal of money and selling them for a loss in the end... I did this to annoy him intentionally I will not lie because I wanted him to back out of the you're buying a name thing he was pulling on me.. that and when he asked me if my friend who all riding on Harley asked me to park my bike away from them with his little story why afterwards on why..Like I should be ashamed of what I'm riding right now!!! As well to put him back on track to explaining how the new Milwaukee eight was better than the previous design.... instead did something I didn't expect he excused himself to go talk to her another salesman was standing off to the side! "" I need to get away "" <I read from his lips as he spoke to him> and the two walk off talking! I interrupted them and ask for the make and the model so I can research more online! He handed me a card with the description on it!
If he would have been a good salesman he would have finished explaining how the engine was improved and pushed towards a test drive! In hopes the feel of the ride would possibly win me over! Nope not one attempt was made!
