What is now yesterday as noted in the previous post went to both Colonial Harley-Davidson and Commonwealth Powersports which is nearby. I saw Commonwealth off in the distance. I thought it was called Burcham Cycles (thats the name on the building) but found it had changed owners when I talked to a friend from Richmond. Photo at left though was a helmet that I got a photo of at Colonial Harley-Davidson. I am a big fan of aviation (always liked aircraft and worked in the Navy in a P-3 Orion squadron) and like that helmet! Anyhow, if you go to Colonial Harley-Davidson, you can see Commonwealth Powersports from the parking lot.
It is a big dealership with some open bay doors. Like Colonial it has a lot of space, and a very good looking service department. Store was very clean, and also noted that it had a number of customers in there. That is a good sign in times like these, have noted it has been slow at most of the motorcycle dealerships during the on-going recession. Commonwealth seemed to have a lot of items for sale such as shirts, hats, jackets, boots, etc..and as my buddy (who rides a Yamaha noted) a lot of Yamaha related items. Most Japanese motorcycle stores do not sell a lot of clothing related items.
They have a lot of motorcycles, and carry Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki motorcycles. As a sort of different touch, they also have a really nice looking Corvette in there as well on display, with the original purchase window sticker! I enjoyed the visit to this store, which was a great place to spend some time when your motorcycle is some 300 miles away and its a very ugly looking day outside!
