york tour

did the York plant tour yesterday,was really nice.I was REALLY impressed,got to see the touring and softail bikes,was a modified tour since the new ones are going to be coming out..Tour guide said that THEY didn't even know what was coming out in the 2013 models yet....made me wonder why they couldn't have the "steel toe tour" then...hopefully the pic I try to post works .If you notice I have sandals on.. not allowed to wear these inside.I figured if it was a basic tour it would be ok..IT'S NOT..had to go to a local store for a cheap pair of shoes that cover my feet...we received a nice pin(free) and spent lots of money in the gift shop at the end..This is a nice tour to take but I will be making a trip to do the steel toe tour another time...

Did a ride up to York earlier this year and did the steel toe tour. It is definitely worth the extra charge. It was a comprehensive tour that took about 2 hours. It was fun to see where my RKC was "born."

I've been to the York tour several times, but not recently. I would always wear closed toe shoes. What is the "steel toe tour"?

Ride safe,

Bob.

Steel Toe tour is new money maker. Extended tour with access to areas not usually visited in the regular tour with greater explanations of process. They take a Photo of you, give you a universal fit orange vest, and a pin with a discount in the store for one item. Requires prior call in appointment and cost is ... I believe it was like $35. Did the tour earlier this year and worth it if you want the greater exposure to manufacturing process. My group was only 4 people.
