Harley of Huntington Beach, CA has lots of bikes, lots of stuff, and free hot dogs almost every weekend. Plus a gal who will sew patches onto your jacket. I love that place! Great service department and great sales department. No, I don't work there; just a very satisfied customer.

Interesting. Yeah, I got it on another board that said it was Harley and Davidson.

Go to this link and scroll down about 1/4 of the way. You will see the photo, bill of sale, and my write-up.

Higher up on the page you find a picture of the real Harley and Davidson with fish on a HD with a side car.

Is Harley dealership something you go to when you are not looking for a bike or parts?

A lot of dealerships have parties, events, food, concerts. . . All manner of crap.

Some stuff better than others, and some more than others.

Thanks for the link, that's a great site. Since my siggy isn't really Mr. H and Mr. D, I guess I will change it shortly. It is a neat picture though.

No need to change it on my account. For the last couple years, I have been seeing this photo pop up on dozens of sites, including several dealer sites, all claiming it to by Harley and Davidson. My cousin and I have been getting a good laugh from this mix-up.
