Wishing Doc the best in retirement. I've enjoyed a few of his videos. He's someone with class.

It goes without saying that Doc Harley was pillar here at Low Country Harley, and to the millions of people who watched him on our YouTube channel.
We cannot begin to thank him enough for all the lessons he has imparted unto us and his relentless dedication to our local community and the larger motorcycle community as a whole.

Thank you Doc, for everything, and we can't wait to finally see you at all of our Saturday events, on the other side of the counter, enjoying the festivities.
Happy retirement Doc. I've always enjoyed the videos and countless times I've used the info in them. What will you do with all the spare time now ? 🤔

I don't know Doc - haven't even met him but I did learn from many of his videos and besides appreciating the knowledge he shared, I also enjoyed his straightforward manner of delivery.

His Bonafide's, posted in this thread, speak for themselves.

I wish him nothing but the best. May he enjoy his retirement in good health and good times!

Good on ya, Doc. Thank you! It’s good to get out while you still have some years to enjoy ahead of you. I have watched and enjoyed the videos over the years. Doc always seemed like a straight shooter with helpful advice.

Lot of motorcycle and car dealerships only have 1 true top of the class type tech in the shop . He is the one they depend on for problems that don't go along with the check list flow chart. He has been to all the school and to taring that goes way beyond just swapping a part or two.

Doc may well have been one of that type. Never met him saw a few of his videos.

Just a reminder about the rules of conduct here, and a suggestion to not go baiting or playing with or feeding trolls, or behaving like one yourself.
