Roeder's Harley-Davidson Closes

The Ohio dealership calls it a day.

Today's edition of the Sandusky Register in Ohio features a story on Friday's closure of Roeder Harley-Davidson, the dealership owned by Will and Julie Roeder and founded by the late George Roeder in 1972.

According to the report, National City banked filed a forecloser lawsuit against the dealership on April 29, alleging that the Roeders have defaulted on roughly $2.5 million. Harley-Davidson, meanwhile, followed that with a lawsuit of its own, saying the dealership owes the Motor Company $2 million.

In addition to its financial woes, the dealership serves as the main sponsor for Ohio Bike Week, which is scheduled to start on June 5. The Sandusky Register says that signs on the dealership window directed customers to Shifters Bar and Grill, which is located next to Roeder's, to purchase passes for the event there.

Steve Ernst, who runs Ohio Bike Week as the president of Advantage Entertainment and Consulting, told the newspaper that the event would continue.

"We're certainly affected," Ernst told the Register. "They are our lead sponsor. They are the ones who started all this."
