Why I hate HD. J/K

My shocks were low on air so I stopped by the local dealer to get them pumped up. Free of charge of course.

They were having their 50th anniversary. So, you could spin the a wheel of fortune to get a discount. I had no time for that. I was meeting people and I was running late because I had to stop and get air.

My buddy text and said he would be a half hour late, so I spin the wheel. I get 20% off. I spend $600 because I stopped to get free air. Go figure.

I have to ask what you got for your 20% off deal?

It's almost as bad as their "rewards" gimmick. It's only about 10¢ for every $1. So you did pretty good with 20%.

LOL! Yesterday AM I went to local dealership -- free donuts/biscuits/coffee, met with the guys I'm riding to Sturgis with to finalize some details, attended the HOG chapter meeting and won a $25 gift certificate, grabbed a free sausage po-boy, chatted with some friends, spent another hour browsing thru the antique/custom car show the dealer hosted in the parking lot, then some more time watching the Hooters girls wash bikes (not mine) -- all together I was there ~3.5 hours. Lots of folks there, dealer obviously had a good day, lots of money was spent -- but none of it was mine (this time <g>).

HD = Hundred Dollars - every time you stop. Sometimes I don't spend any money on a visit, but then the next visit might be $200. Always comes out to an average of $100.
