With a name like Harley David, it's not hard to figure out that my parents raised me to love to ride, and I started early. My first ride was a dirt bike. My first Harley was a 1987 Sportster. I quickly learned I needed more, and in a bit of a rebellious stage I picked up a 1998 Buell White Lightning. I rode that throughout my 20s, about the same time I started my career at Harley-Davidson dealerships (and got to ride almost every make and model). Today I ride a 1982 FXE, inspired by my dad's Harley when I was a kid.

​

I started out in the wash bay at a family-owned Harley-Davidson dealership in Western New York. It wasn't long until I was investing in my own Snap-On toolbox and had my own bay alongside four master techs with 20 years' experience each, who taught me everything they knew. I earned my Harley-Davidson Master Technician certification through Harley-Davidson University.

​

In 2014, I moved my wife and son to Columbia, SC, and spent the next nine and a half years in-dealership. During that time I discovered how much I enjoyed teaching and helping the younger techs coming through the shop, and that's how Talk With a Master Tech was born.

​

After about 20 years in dealerships, I opened HDH Cycle Works in Elgin, SC, serving Columbia and the surrounding areas. My promise is to get you on the road and riding. Book your appointment and have it worked on in my shop, book a virtual call as you work on your own bike, or save money with a pre-purchase inspection before you buy that pre-owned Harley.

Now, you "know a guy."
