I've never heard of this offer.

Was it really from HD, or one of your local dealers?

They're probably waiting for the paper mache boots to arrive from China. Don't worry, they'll be here soon.

Maybe you get the boots when you bought the 16 only.....

Sounds like a dealer scam.

OP, you say the card came from HD. I respectfully doubt it. I bet it said something like: Come on down to Joe Scammer's HD in Cheatemville, NY. Take a test ride on any new HD and we'll give you a pair of riding boots*

*Riding boots offered with any test drive resulting in purchase of any new HD at retail price with financing from Joe Scammer's HD Credit Dept and purchase of any two of the following: Super Platinum Deluxe Extended Warranty, Diamond Edition Paint Protection/Fabric Guard/Rustproofing Package, Top-Tier Maintenance and Storage Package.

Recently, I've been getting email promotions from my local dealers with asterisks and fine print so small that it can't be read at any resolution on my laptop screen.

Sounds like something Chuck's Deluxe would pull.
When you get there, one boot is free, the other one is $300 (and they're both left feet).

The deal was you get free boots from those IN STOCK on the day of the test ride. Unfortunately, on the day of your test ride they didn't have any in stock.

They'll order them? Yeah, keep waiting.

Never heard of that deal. Free boots for a test ride sounds like something that would have got my attention

Perhaps contact the Dealer.
That's what I would do.
