Spirit of Centurion
THE HISTORY OF CENTURION
The group is named after the now closed Harley-Davidson and Buell dealership called Centurion-Hdx.
Based in the heart of Chester city centre, and named after the roman association with the city, Centurion took the Harley-Davidson ethos and placed it firmly on the map of Chester and surrounding areas until its untimely demise in 2004. This demise was brought about by outside forces beyond the control of the owners.
Some people say the dealership embraced the very spirit of the American way of life, and the freedom afforded through riding motorcycles.
The whole experience was customer orientated from the very first day Centurion opened its doors for business in November 1999 and closed them in July 2004. Leaving its mark and being responsible for a whole new wave of Harley Davidson riders throughout the northwest.
Harley-Davidson and Buell riders are special people. They are people who have chosen to ride their own roads. These people have taken a different path. Centurion always respected and recognised this.
