Steve informed the members about the changing renovations at PS and that Harley Davidson will now be under the main
roof of the Dealership. The other makes will be processed across the road. This meant that those who purchased a new
Harley could see the process etc leading up to its delivery. Lead in time for tyre fitting and workshop bookings have been
shortened. Questions were asked as to what PS does about travelers who needed immediate repairs as experience has
shown that dealers in other states do not care and one just has to go on the end of the booking list no matter how long.
Steve stated that it was the policy of PS to help out riders with these issues ASAP so they can be on their way.
Steve asked that if any member had a technical question could they put it in writing and he would see that it was
