My friend, a Harley fan, is coming to visit and wants to see the local Harley Davidson dealership. I found out that one just opened in Taipei recently, but can’t find any information on location, address, hours, phone, etc.
So, if any of you know the address or approx location, or any other information it would be helpful.
Neihu. Tiding Da Dao. I pass it every day on the way to work. I don’t know the exact address, but if you cross the Minquan bridge from Songshan to Neihu, then get on Tiding and head in the direction of the Grand Hotel, you can’t miss it. It’ll be on your right, on Tiding, in the middle of the high-tech business section of Neihu.

If possible, take some pics of the place and tell us, well some of us, how the place is.
Thanks.[/quote]
Full of big fat noisy overpriced abortions that should never have seen the light of day, of course. What else?

I popped down there at lunch since it’s not far from my office. Here’s the official address:
No.189, Sec.2, Jiuzhong Rd., Neihu District.
Tel: 886 2 2798 9869
Opening hours:
Mon-Fri 9:30 - 19:00
Sat-Sun 10:00 - 19:00
I spoke to a girl called Irene, whose English was pretty good.
I took a couple of quick pics while I was there, mostly to show you where it is. I’ll post them in a bit, but don’t expect much. I was in a bit of a hurry.

You have any trouble convincing her you were a dentist or accountant?
so, she immediately knew Stu was a man of impeccable taste…
until he mentioned the dentist.
you probably couldn’t afford one, Stu.
actually, for Taiwan they would not be such a bad bike. they would force you to ride slowly, much more slowly than on a crotch rocket, for example, so that’d be safer… plus, they’re big, so you’d have a bit more momentum in the event of an accident, and could perhaps hold your own in a fight against an encroaching Toyota Tercel. and if you took the baffles out of the exhaust pipe (and who wouldn’t?) you could be mistaken for a scooter punk and people would really give you the right of way.
There is one dealer on that small street that connects Minzu East Road to Dazhi, running close to the Song Shan airport runway. It’s Something Jiang Jie Lane 180, branching of Minzu just across from the Taipei Second Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market. Turn into that lane from Minzu and the shop is somewhere on the left (before you reach the runway).
She still looks at me funny and kind of squints her eyes.
“… a DENTIST American friend.”
“Ahhhhh”, she says. “How can I help you then?”[/quote]
See now, if you’d also told her that your friend’s “an American dentist who’s dumb as a rock, extremely image conscious to n-to-the-power-of-Paris-Hilton and who has money falling out his arse that he’s too stupid to know how to spend,” she wouldn’t have had to ask how she could help – “Oh, then he’d probably be daft enough to plump for one of these sillydickmobiles right here,” is what she’d have doubtless said.

Is that the same shop that sells Triumphs?[/quote]
I get it! I get it! Like a beauty and the beast-type thing, right?
“Would you like to buy one of these – a lovely Bonneville or perhaps a lively speed triple? Or would you prefer to look like a complete dork and ride one of … THESE silly fatboys?”
