I like picking up the chips. Recently I've visited stores in Kuwait and Jordan; neither had chips. I finally got an answer...it's against the Muslim religion to gamble, so they tax the poker chips really high and it isn't worth it for the stores to carry them.
I did pick up some t-shirts. Someday, I will make a quilt out of all the tshirts my hubby and I collect along the way. A good way to remember all the places I've been!

My riding partner texted me that he made a return trip to the Bay City, MI dealership and picked us up two poker chips that they did not have on our previous.
This chip completes our Michigan dealership collection!!!
I've also collected chips from other dealerships in KY, OH, WV, SC and I plan to continue doing this whenever I can.
It's been a long summer and we put a lot of miles on our bikes but it was also a lot of fun and now each chip has a memory or a story linked to it.
I've been to a LOT of dealerships across the country in my nearly 40 years of owning and riding Harleys, and we have more t-shirts than we need.
The poker chips was another way of documenting our visits to various dealerships and the display case will make a good conversation piece.

My folks and I all collect them from our trips. I have around 40 now (including a non HD one from deal's gap). There's about a dozen dealers around the country that I don't have chips from because they were either out or closed when I stopped by and I'm always willing to trade for them. As others pointed out...they are a great way to physically store memories and surprisingly I can remember even the smallest of details of the day and dealerhsip I got each chip at.
Looking forward to collecting around 15 this coming season with trips to Utah, Yellowstone, and the 75th at Sturgis (2 different 75th chips up for grabs).
Meanwhile, if anyone needs a chip from a Colorado dealer, pm me and let's see if we can make a trade...and i'm always willing to help ya out even if you don't have a chip I need.

I am starting to do this as well for the same reason as most - a hell of a lot cheaper than a t-shirt!
I've seen them all over ebay for as high as $20 and individuals are always willing to trade which is one way of going about it but to me it's all about the ride... If I don't personally visit the store then it doesn't belong in my collection - just the way I am.
