Good story. Respect and courtesy goes a long way, doesn't matter if they have a well known name or not.

My guess is the OP would have extended the same respect to any woman (or man) who may have been in need of the same "treatment".


Good on you OP!

The dealership should have had her sign the Breakout's tank then clear-coated it. One of those those girls would have written them a check on the spot. The autographed helmet was a HUGE draw, the Breakout would have been even better. I'd should have had her sign it, but didn't wanna have to buy the bike if they didn't like the idea.

i talked with her back in 1991. i was trying to locate the next black heritage coming to a dealership anywhere close to me (surrouding states even ). i called Harley and low and behold she answered the phone. had a long chat with her and she was telling me about an alarm that she had installed on her bike and the battery kept going dead. she clued me in on the next black heritage coming my way. seemed very nice and a down to earth gal. i bet she's not answering the phone now.
