Default Nice $teeler experience

On a ride with a few yesterday with a few buddies, we bumped into the owner of my local Dealer (Treasure Coast HD) at an ocean front 'biker bar' here in Florida. I happened to be wearing one of his dealership HD shirts. He rolled out the red carpet and bought my buddies and I several rounds of drinks in an inpromptu show of customer appreciation. Made our day.

A few riding buddies who do not own Harley's were impressed and just might be future moco customers because of this simple jesture. It's a fact that you enjoy the road on Milwalkee machinery for reasons such as this and not these guys now fully understand the extra perks and experiences with other individuals that I've enjoyed for several years.

Cool - Smart man - Those drinks could end being worth more than a full page ad

He's a smart man but genuine at the same time. A nice combination for sure.

Forward this thread to every MoCo Dealer. Many could learn something (They won't though).[8D]

I always try to wear a t-shirt from a dealer that's as far away from where I'm riding as I can get, so I doubt that ever happens to me... Unless I run into the owner of Grand Canyon HD or Australia's Gold Coast HD in some Indiana bar, and that ain't likely.

Sounds like he might have had a couple before you got there.... but it's good for his shop's reputation in any case...

I have been wearing a Mexican Harley Davidson tee-shirt here in Virginia...probably won't run across that owner here.
