Don was a great guy, and I used to love going into his dealership. RIP, and well wishes to his wife also.

Don was one of the nicest people you'd ever meet... always remembering and talking to his customers.

Here are a couple of links with info:

I picked up my new Road Glide Special there this morning. I couldn't believe it, when they told me what happened. That is a real close knit group there, its like a big family, some of them are. You could really tell a lot of them where in pain, and it was hard to be there. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.

Default Don Tilley Killed in motorcycle accident

Each and every time that I hear about a motorcyclist being killed I can't help but think about why we all ride. Because we love to ride. I never met the man but he must have been a good guy. Rest in Peace Don.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Tilley family.

Don and Robinette ran top notch HD dealerships in Statesville and Salisbury. I learned to ride again at their Salisbury dealership where I also bought both my bikes. The personnel there is second to none.

We'll miss you Don!
