Founded by David C. Reid in 1975, Harley-Davidson® of Jamestown has built its reputation on customer service.

It all started with a dream. The late John Reid Sr. had planted a seed in the mind of his oldest son David. In 1947, John started Gowanda Harley Davidson. When his son grew older, his passion and interest in Harley-Davidson® motorcyles grew. In 1975, at the age 34, David C. Reid's dream came true with a dealership of his own in Jamestown, NY. The structure was a mere 3600 sq ft. The business began with three employees: David, his son Brian (14), and Dale - a mechanic. Until 1985, business was slow. There were times when the thought of giving it all up crossed his mind, but David stuck it out and reached the booming late '80s. During this time it was necessary to increase work space and staff. In 1985, a 2400 sq ft. service department was constructed, and in 1997 the addition of a parts and service showroom was completed. Presently at 15,000 sq ft, the building is still not large enough to meet the demand for space with the growing industry. Over the years, the dealership has grown in tremendous ways, continued expansion with it's new and current location of over 36,000 sq ft. (located in Falconer, NY (exit 13 off I-86)
