Last year my Harley was sitting at a Honda dealership. My bud rides a Victory, and evidently Honda sells them. He stopped in there to get a part. I went inside, and it was deja vu.

There was dudes strutting around in new, shiny leather eating free donuts...

Actually since the liquid cooled bikes have come out a lot of former Gold wing guys are switching. We are selling a ton of reverse kits to these guys. They like everything about the new baggers except that they don't come with reverse. Who'd of thought.

Honda, Harley, what's the difference? They both start with an "H".

Sometimes I ride the Concours down to the HD store, it needs love too.

Especially when I need parts/stuff at the dealership that will fit in the bags.

It does look a bit out of place there....

Funny, its like my Springer and my Concours are kind of like completely different hobbies...in a good way
