A.D. Farrow's Harley Davidson
http://www.adfarrow.com

  • The dealership was founded by Alford D. Farrow, an entrepreneur guided by a dream and passion. On February 26, 1912, the 23-year-old put the two together when he ordered his first Harley-Davidson® motorcycle.

    A.D. Farrow started his dealership in Nelsonville , Ohio, but soon moved to Columbus, Ohio. Originally located on 4th Street, this dealership was moved to an East Main Street storefront in 1925 . With his passing in 1927 his wife Lillie took over the company and became one of the first female Harley-Davidson dealers. In 1941, A.D. Farrow Co. moved to its current Downtown Columbus location at 491 West Broad Street.

    In time Lillie Farrow’s son, Don Farrow, took over the business, and his family operated the dealership until the 1980s. In 1983 Pat and Al Doerman purchased the dealership and the adjacent land, allowing the dealership to double in size and expand its service offerings.

    The latest chapter in this great company’s history began in 2003 when Bob & Valerie Althoff acquired the dealership and began setting into motion a series of rapid and remarkable changes for the business.

    The vision, commitment and goal of our entire team is to develop A.D. Farrow Co. into America 's Best Harley Dealership. The pace of change in the shop is frenetic, with ever-improving facilities, rider training classes, group rides, parties, events and community service activities taking place year round!

      Theil's Wheels Harley Davidson
      http://www.twheelshd.com/

      • From our humble beginnings in 1978, Thiel's Wheels has prided itself as a company built with the enthusiast in mind.
      • e were one of the earliest in the industry to apply computer technology to our day-to-day practices. And this continues, as we explore more opportunities for you, the customer, to get things done from the comfort of your own home.

        Thiel's was born from our own sense of fun. Remember when we sold skateboards and bicycles? Not all of "Thiel's Wheels" had motors attached! We don't sell skateboards anymore, but what you will find on our floors are representative samples of some of the coolest and finest machines offered today. We ride, both on the road and off, so we have a personal knowledge of the concerns and issues facing the enthusiast today. We have been involved with various forms of power sport competition, with back-to-back drag-racing championships in 1999 and 2000. In the 2001 year, we were #1 in the Eastern Division, and with a prototype bike, took the #2 National position.

        Whether you stop by to grab a cup of free coffee or just to say hello, we are here to greet you as friends in our home. We are proud to say that we have friends from all over the world who have made Thiel's Wheels their choice for buying motorcycles, parts, and accessories. It is not unusual to see trailers from other states bringing their bikes to us for service.
        Many of our customers have remarked that Thiel's just "feels like home." The reason is simple. We love our jobs and we love to share time with those who love this sport as much as we do!
