On January 15, 2026, I reached out to Mike, the owner of Screaming Chicken, to confirm an ABS flush…read moreon my 2024 Road Glide. I asked if he was still available and if he had the software update for the NEW Harley Road Glide models. He replied that he did have it, so we confirmed for January 16 for 9:30am but he didn't show up until after 1pm. He started the job with an understanding that he had a right ABS software to complete the job. After he finished the ABS flush, he let me know that he did not have the right ABS software for the new models so the ABS light would remain on but that he bought the new software, and was waiting for Harley-Davidson to send him information, so that as soon as he had it, he would let me know to finish the ABS flush. A week later, I texted him to ask about a quote for a tire installation and to check on him completing ABS update. He texted me the cost, but we were unable to confirm the installation date due to personal family matters I had the rest of the week. Two weeks passed and since I had not heard from him for almost two weeks about completing the ABS flush job, I reached out to him. I texted him on February 11, 2026, but he didn't return my text. I also called him on February 12, but he did not answer or return the call. I called him on February 23 and 24, but he sent me straight to voicemail. On February 25, I texted him to ask if everything was okay and let him know I felt he was purposely ignoring my communication. I explained, again, that my family matters on the week of January 26, but he still needed to finish the ABS flush software update to remove the light of the dashboard screen and complete that job, that I was willing to ride up to north county (Oceanside) for him to finish the job. He replied that he had not purchased the software because the tire installation did not occurred on January 29, and he moved to Oceanside. What's crazy is that on the 16th (day of ABS flush), he told me he had bought software program and was waiting on Harley-Davidson to do "something." Also, we never confirmed the tire installation date. I texted him that I would confirm on a later date, but I was unable to do so because I was traveling. If we would had confirmed a tire installation we would had communicated before his arrival to my house. Plus, the tire installation is a different job from the ABS Flush. He informed me that he would not be completing the job and that I should take it to someone else for the light removal. However, I trusted in him to finish the job, so I paid him on January 16 for the ABS flush, he even signed my HD service records on my owners manual. Now, HD dealer services has informed me that I would have to pay to redo the ABS flush because they have to do it to remove the light. That means the ABS flush will cost me close to $600; between what I paid Mike and the HD service cost. I can't understand why he accepted a job where he was asked specifically about having the proper tools to complete the job, but didn't do the work to verify the software before hand. If he would have told me that he didn't have the tools, I would have waited for him to buy it and he could have still done the work. Now I'm going to be having to spend more money. Mike's actions lacks professionalism and integrity to his customers base.

I…read morehad bad experiences with Biggs Harley-Davidson but my bike was still under warranty and decided to stop by The Boar's nest. I talked to Ron and set up an appointment about 10 days out . The day prior to my appointment I decided to call to verify that we were still on because I had to have the bike towed there and had already made arrangements for the tow. Ron told me that they were busy and couldn't get to me and asked if I could push the appointment a week. I said sure, and we set a new appointment date. Just to be on the safe side, I decided to call the day before to verify and once again, Ron told me they were busy and asked if we could push the appointment out 2 weeks. My wife and I missed two group rides because of this lack of professionalism and the experience overall left a bad taste in our mouths. The thing that was upsetting, is that I had explained to Ron my frustration about the potential for missing these rides and he assured me that they would be able to get me in and get this thing diagnosed so that we could be on our way. I've been riding for 47 years and honestly can't remember a situation where I was just disregarded as a customer. So here I am a few weeks out after being assured that they would contact me as soon as they freed up a spot and crickets. I would rather let a guy that specializes in Japanese bikes work on my Harley at this point . Super disappointing because I live literally right around the corner and the convenience of having a trustworthy Harley mechanic close by would have been great. We all have dreams I guess ..

I took it to Golden Coast after looking online and they looked like a great shop. Max was super helpful, he was able to come to my house and pick up the motorcycle. Him and his team were able to quickly diagnose the issue to a broken pin inside the fuel pump. They were able to find a OEM replacement that was much cheaper than the Ducati dealership was quoting. I also got the brakes and coolant flushed and serviced and now the bike works amazing. It feels totally dialed in and I'm extremely happy with the repair. I recommend them to anyone looking to repair their bikes especially considering the great value proposition.

The SxS was not completed until September 5th; anyone struggling with math, that's 8 months! The SxS was left outside, in the middle of rain storms and summer sun all those months. I asked why he did that and he told me he didn't have a tarp. The car was left outside for 6 months. My seat belts are completely faded and rusted. Underneath the SxS had to be sprayed with rust oleum to cover all of the rust. The lights are all faded purple from the sun. Had to pull the roof off and redo it cause it rattled louder then the noise from the motor. If you want to be lied to and have all your stuff left outside this is the guy for you. I would advise buying a tarp & a can of Rustoleum if your gonna go here.
