I met Grover a month or so ago when I was ordering parts for the new Street Glide that I bought from his Dealer. I was in Macon on Business, and it was a rainy Tuesday afternoon, and he and I chatted for about 45 min. He was awesome all the way around.

I went to school with Greg and Gary. I bought my first Harley from Grover in 1971 when he still had his shop on Second St. I am proud to say I am on a first name bases with Grover and at 90 he is still very sharp. I talk to him all the time when I go to the shop.

I just sent his store an email letting them know that I have named him as my Home Dealer for this years Hoka Hey. With any luck I'll finish in the top 5 and he will get something from the Motor Company.

I don't think that 30 minutes was enough time. Would enjoy spending some face time listening to his stories, lotta history there. Sounds like we need more Grovers' in the dealerships.
