Last night was pretty much as loud if not louder than the night before. I was up about every 1/2 hour so I am a bit edgy this morning. Still up early packed up and ready to hit the road. Wish I could stay for the races next weekend, but I have work to do.
I had to head north instead of heading down to Orlando due to some time constraints. I need to get through Oklahoma City before Sunday or else I lose a whole day. So here goes....
First 2 stops were Bruce Rossmeyers, Daytona & New Smyrna....Bruce know how to throw a party....two parties for that matter. I couldn't get a parking spot anywhere near eaither shop and there must have been thousands of bikers at each. I decided this was probably not the best time to go find a manager at these stores and give out some samples...I'll get'em later.
Hollingsworth Harley-Davidson, St Augustine, FL - This is Florida's oldest Harley dealrship. I met Jack "JB" Baker who was very accommodating. They have a nice shop here and they are doing some renovations as the shop recently changed owners. They have a lot of new bikes and the just added a "Custom Corner". If you are in the area this shop is worth the stop and tell JB Papa says, "Hi".
Tifton Harley Davidson, Tifton, GA - I saw the sign on the freeway for this shop. This is a great little shop with real personality. Mike, Parts Manager was real personable and graciously took the sample kit. I like the small town feel of this shop and everyone was so friendly. We talked for a while and I found out this shop also just changed owners and they are going to build a new dealership. The location is right off the freeway so you can't miss it.
Harley-Davidson of Macon, Macon, GA - This shop was actually closed when I pulled up, but the door was unlocked. I figured that since I don't get around these parts too often I would just let myself in. I was well received and was able to deliver the goods. I met Jimmy Hendrix.....Yep, that's his name, in sales..that's him on the right without his guitar. This dealership was nice and they have been around for 61 years.
I will have much more tomorrow as I have targeted Atlanta, GA & Birmingham, AL then I rest my head in Memphis, TN. So until tomorrow I am signed off.
