Dave, I have bad news. THe Harley stealership 2 miles from my home is having a HUGE demo days event (complete with food and bands) today......while doing my usual Sat. running to the bank and hardware store (I am remodeling a foreclosure home to "flip" it......someday when the market improves lol) I stopped, I wouldn't have, but in your honor I felt I should "check it out".
1 mile from the dealership they where loading a very clean and polished dresser on a trailer.....he broke down.....didn't even make it to the dealership.....hhhhmmmmm..... anywho undaunted I continued.
About 75 people where all ready there .......the truck load of demo bikes hadn't arrived yet (they where running late due to "traffic" was the claim) but the waiting list for a ride was estimated to be 2-3 hours. (but hang out and buy some overpriced logo apparel or bbq sandwiches and 3.00 sodas. while you wait said the sales man)
I had originally thought if I could sling a leg over, at least a V-rod, or the "hotted" up new sporster and report my findings here......maybe they have improved since '92 when I had my Sportie........2 hours........then you have to go on an "escorted" route with 6-8 other bikes and escorts.......shoots my idea of playing in my neighborhood twisties to REALLY see how the bike handles all to heck......CURSES FOILED AGAIN!:y14:
So, disappointed, once more, by "THE" Motor company I continued to Lowes to get paint. I would rather paint my house than put around at 35 mph in a group.......
Just thought I would post up to say, your not missing much by not having a dealership and Demo Days event close. Unless you are "into" long waits and "controlled" tethered rides.....and overpriced BBQ. The band sounded good though
Uh oh...........:y148: I just realized I have my Riders of the Lost Empire shirt on!!!!!! I may just have been discriminated against!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2-3 hours wait my EYE!
