Default Yankee HD a Biker Bash

Was there yesterday in Bristol Ct. What a boarfeast. No deals at all. Only vendors were 2 insurance cos,a lawyer and a bandana kiosk. Oh two others that have have nothing to do with riding or bikes at all. Cookout, food was cold there was nothing at all to drink, couldn't even buy a water or soda. How can you have a Fest with no liquids. I am 52 and felt very young compared to most. Only about 40 bikers there when I was there which was an hr after start and there for almost 1.5 hrs.

The deals are long gone at Yankee.

They used to do 15% off parts&acc on customer appreciation day.

Then you had to buy 3 items to get the discount,then it quietly went away.

All they have to do is bring back the discounts,and people will spend their money,not have these 'special days'.

I agree with you Jim. My brother and I were there just about when it started and it never got any better !!! The only drink available was the water fountain inside the dealership. I'm surprised you stayed 1 1/2 hours....

Yankee Harley Davidson is the worst dealer in all of the east coast. They are crooks and you should never go their or spend a dime. I don't care what the discount is that dump is a rip off. Will
