In The Beginning………….

Some time in the early ninety’s perhaps even earlier ( No one is really sure !) some folks in Northern Ireland decided that owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle would be an excellent Idea and so they went about finding ways to make their dreams come true.  None of these people new each other and with the closest dealership being Scotland, which at that time wasn’t a very big or successful dealership, the options were few.  The bikes that ended up being imported into Northern Ireland came from as far as Holland, Germany, America and of course from all over England and Scotland.

In 1998 driven by passion and enthusiasm, Alan Kane & Norrie McBride saw an opportunity to open a Harley – Davidson Dealership in Northern Ireland, and after some difficulty proving the merits of and the need for a dealership in Northern Ireland, Harley said OK, and Provincewide Harley – Davidson opened its doors to the public in June 1999. It became the first official Harley – Davidson dealership in Northern Ireland.

Part of the agreement of owning a dealership is to have a chapter connected to it.  In the same month of opening it doors Provincewide Harley – Davidson started the chapter.  Most of the members of “The Six Counties” along with other individual customers quickly joined up and became members of the first official Harley – Davidson chapter in Northern Ireland.
