Happy Birthday !! Ride safe and live long .. My Dad rode on two wheels till he was 78 and 2 more years with a side car.
I got the $5.00 gift cert from my dealership for my birthday. It cost me $100.00 to use that $5.00

What they should of said is "price" up to $25 instead of "value". That t-shirt probably cost them 2 or 3 bucks.

But the important thing is "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANCHO!!"

Nice of them.

That's pretty nice. Happy Early Birthday wishes. My dealer was such a cheap a-hole that on the eve of buying my 3rd bike from there, I told the salseman that I wear XL in a t-shirt. His reply was "I don't think the dealer will go for that" My reply to the salesman was "you spring for it -it's the 3rd bike you've sold me". No response

Its a SCAM its a SCAM.

How many people don't you know, or, read about who just went into the stealer to get a T-shirt and ended up spending $25 K on a new bike.

Don't do it - it is a SCAM to get you in the door, and, then sell you a new bike.

You have been warned.
