The dealership was forced to close after its building was damaged, as per a Facebook post.
A car plowed into the showroom but no one was injured.
That was because the dealership was closed on Monday.
But, the dealership in Gaylord, Michigan – located around 235 miles from Detroit – will be closed until further notice.
“There was a car that entered the building and caused major damage,” bosses said.
“Please do not come by to see what happened as it will just be a distraction and delay us getting cleaned up. Thank you for understanding.”
Execs shared a picture that showed rubble inside the showroom and a gray car wedged inside.
No customer bikes were damaged in the accident, the dealership confirmed.
But, the showroom was still without power.
Chiefs confirmed that the dealership will be contacting customers who were expected to collect their bikes to rearrange their appointments.
