People are asking how they can help us. One thing you can do is to order Parts and General Merchandise online. If you do it from our website, then we will get credit for the sale. If you order direct from Harley-Davidson’s main website, you will need to choose D&S as your dealer. Just make sure you have your parts shipped directly to your house - not to us, because we’re not there right now. Every sale will help us a little bit as we go forward. We hope to reopen in a temporary location very soon. Thank you so much to all our friends out there. We miss you! https://dsharley.com/
From the fire lines
T
he West Coast wildfires continue cutting a devastating swath from California through Oregon. On Wednesday, several dealerships were wiped out, including D&S Harley-Davidson, Oregon Motorcycle Adventures - KTM and Hansen’s Motorcycles, located in Medford, OR. In the midst of heartbreaking devastation comes the stories like Hansen’s thanking the first responders for saving their flag, the only thing left standing after fire gutted the BMW dealership. We are part of a resilient, passionate and kick ass community. Motorcycle people really are the greatest, not that we need any more adversity to prove the point.
D&S Harley-Davidson Thank you all so much for your concern, your well wishes and your offers of help. We know you have a lot of questions and we will do the best we can to answer them as soon as we can. We are working to set up a new phone for D&S that you can call soon. We did make a mad dash into the building to get our server, so we still have your customer records. And we are still receiving parts shipments and stashing them until we can set the server up - somewhere - and try to resume business. It may be a little hectic for a while and we may not get back to you as soon as you wish, but please know that we are trying. The Martin family is safe, but we all live in Phoenix and Talent and have no power, no Internet and cell phones that don’t last long enough to get it all done. Again, thank you. We hope all of you are safe and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

Hansen’s Motorcycles We truly are amazed by the out pouring of support from around the country by literally the best customers and friends in the world. Thank you, it has helped mend some of our broken hearts. For 49 years we have had business insurance, but never planned on using it. Over the next weeks I’ll begin to find out how much it will take to rebuild Hansen’s BMW new facility and how good my insurance is. We have been offered space with Mason’s close friend to begin opening up, but don’t have a plan or time line yet. With all the people that have been affected by the fire, like Mark losing his home, Mason & I feel awkward sharing the Go Fund Me page that one of our customers has started. Our family & staff are people that offer help, but don’t ask for help. We expect nothing from our customers except for the love & encouragement you have been giving us. But after talking with some close friends we feel that it would be wrong of us not to post the link from the support of two of our great customers. This will be our last post of recent events, unless we find something super cool when we dig more. It’s time to focus on the future. Huge shout out to our first responders. You have helped our entire community stay safe as we navigate this tragedy. If you haven’t seen the photos check out our Facebook page, it’s pretty amazing and devastating. Lastly, thanks to all of you, our customers and friends. We appreciate all of the memories that you have given us and the calls, texts, photos and support through these difficult times. Thank You again, Craig, Connie, Mason, Dave, Mark & Wade The GoFundMe page for Hansen’s BMW: https://www.gofundme.com/f/rebuild-hansen039sbmw?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_ campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
