Heads-up on dealership closings in Bellingham, WA

[blastoff99]

Hi all,

In late October of this year, the Bellingham Honda/Yamaha dealer (Al's) and the H-D dealer (Mt. Baker H-D, formerly NW H-D) closed doors. I don't have inside details on either, but I figured it was worth letting travelers to this area know.

I know... the odds of wanting to go to a dealership are slim, but on rare occasions there's a need.

Too bad on Al's - I had a couple good experiences with them years back.  Reasonable sales folks, easily... especially if compared to my local Honda dealer - LCB.  

You wouldn't happen to know if the Triumph dealer downtown Bellingham is still alive and kicking, would you?

As of a couple of days ago, Champion Cycle (Triumph) was very much in business. I haven't stopped in for a long time, but should. Howard's a great guy and I hope business is good.

I'm glad to hear that *somebody* had a good experience or two at Al's. I was among the many who didn't.

We stopped in early this summer and saw Howard.  You're right - great guy.  I need to get the S3 up there and have his guys chase down some electrical gremlins I just can't seem to find.
