Do any of you collect Dip Dots or am I wasting my time trying to collect them?

I collect rare beer bottle caps. I got a 1972 Schlitz I got while I was in Palm Springs. I was in the Marines at the time.

No Wait. I think I was in Palm Springs. Was collecting a lot of caps back then. Really not sure. Could of been Vegas. No that was Sherri's Ranch.

Crap! Well I got It anyway.

I collect them as souveniers of all the places I've traveled. As pictured above in Marks post, they are an adhesive backedsticker that a dealer will put on the top of your oil dipstick after they have serviced your bike. Each dealer has their own made up with their name and location on it. They're alot cheaper (most dealers will just give them to you, but some charge) than t-shirts and take up a lot less saddlebag space.
seems most dealers are not making them anymore. I collect shot glasses and a Tshirt normally as most dealers never have the dang dots.

I wonder ifthey've quit making themin the last year or so, because I've never been to a dealer that didn't have one.

maybe they just dont put themout or hand them out like they used too. It used to be they were right by the register when you left...... most the time they were free.

I saw girl at AM-JAM a few years ago wearing two of them as a bikini top, I think they look better on her than on a bike.

They are actually called dealer dots around here, I have 10-12 of they from dealers I've traded bikes with. Some dealers stick them on the oil dipstick and some stick them on the steering neck cap, they are flat, curved,(for Sportster oil cap) or concave. On day they'll be worth MILLIONS!

Funny timing, i was at my Columbia MO dealer Monday and they had a jar full at the counter. First time i had ever seen one. I looked one over but couldn't think what i'd do with it so i put it back. Can't remember what they were asking for it.
