“I purchased 08 Buell w/ extended service plan from harley davidson hampton roads. It broke down in alabama on 9/3/11. I had a Buell service center in alabama look at the bike & they advised me hdhr dealership is not a service center that specializes in Buell & said hdhr overserviced my bike causing it to break down. Upon my return to va, I brought my bike back to hdhr. I requested my $150.00 servicing fee be returned to me.
