As for the bike, to each their own.

Last fall I was on a bike trip, stopped into the Joplin MO. Harley dealer, while I was there they sold 2 bikes, the salesman had the new owners ring a bell on a long rope, all the employees clapped and yelled, Hell, I thought I was at Texas Roadhouse, and it was someones birthday!!!!!!

I thought that was dumb as heck!!!

If I was buying a Harley at a dealership I would tell them no deal if they ring bells or play Born to be Wild or applaud like its my Birthday at Chucky Cheese. Just sign the buyers order and title and quietly show me the door.

Then again Ya have to look at today's buyers and how excited they are to finally own a Harley "GwaaatDaaaam" Davidson!! Make em feel special.......give them the keys.
