Multiple Harley-Davidson Dealership Ride

I met up with my friend Kris and rode out to Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson in Baldwin Park for their open house event. They had some vendors, lots of bikes, and, best of all, a couple representatives from the Hooters restaurants (see pic below).

Once at the event, I noticed that the prices on the new bikes at Laidlaw's were better than other dealerships I frequent. I'll keep that in mind when I'm in the market for a new bike.

There were many cool bikes to gawk at in attendance at Laidlaw's. Some low-rider type bikes, a few bobbers that may have belonged to some of the employees, and many other makes and styles.

We finished checking things out and wanted to rush to Skip Fordyce's pep rally at the Riverside, Ca dealership that would start at 1 o'clock. We made it with plenty of time to spare. Unfortunately, there wasn't the draw that Laidlaw's had. A few bikes and familiar faces were on hand.

A little underwhelmed, I made haste to Quaid in Loma Linda, Ca for their customer appreciation event. I enjoyed a couple of their free cheeseburgers and chips while checking out their goods. They had a decent turnout and I spoke to a few acquaintances. I purchased a few shirts (a couple of them long-sleeved) from their bargain bin at a mere $2 a piece (thanks for the heads up, Donna!).

I finished up and made my way home, putting about 150 miles on the ol' scooter by the end of the day. It was a nice day for a ride, a little crisp in the morning and warming up a bit in the afternoon.

Here are some pics from the event:

Remember those Hooters representatives that were mentioned earlier in this post? Well, I asked them if they would mind me taking a picture of them with my friend. They agreed. What are friends for? Well, to show your wife who you took a picture with, that's what.

It was funny how quickly he blurted out what had happened and how I was framing him when we ran into his wife at Skip's.

I would post that picture, if I hadn't screwed up and lost it, along with a few others.

Fortunately, I have this one.  Thanks, Kris.

This is the image that will cause a little strife for my marriage.  My wife doesn't see things my way and feels that no other woman should ever find herself sitting on my bike. It's her seat.

 

Should I live after posting this image, I hope to share more with you.
