Default York open house

Looking to go to the York open house this weekend. Going on the Harley site there is very little info on it. The page that I did find had a statement" check back later for more info". Gee, getting pretty close to not have any info added. Guess they are still having it, right?

Default More info

Info to be found is scarse at best, but this is what I know.

The open house is still on. I plan to do the plant tour early Friday morning and then hopefully do some test rides on some of the bikes.

The riders parade through downtown York starts a 6:00 from the York Fairgrounds. Riders wanting to ride in the parade should meet in the fairgrounds starting at 5:00. Anybody and everybody who wants can ride in the parade.

Friday night in the center square and surrounding blocks will have vendors, food stands and various music entertainment. This is always a good time.

The local dealership (Laugermans) is within a mile of the plant and within 2 miles of the center square in downtown York. In years past there were also vendors setup in a few of the very nearby hotel parking lots as well.

Have you tried their direct website? The motor company's website is extremely vague.

Not much to cheer about. Stock is down, sales are down, morale is down, production is down, layoffs are up however.........
