I guess it's true - what goes around, comes around!

I guess it's true - what goes around, comes around!That would be ashame. I was recently informed that they have a big open house type thing at the plant in York every year. Track races, etc. Wanted to go this year and see what it's all about.

They do have an open house at the plant in York every September (somewhere around the end of the month). We go every year. We are a vendor and usually set up at the local Harley dealer (Laugerman's) not at the plant. They draw quite a crowd into the town of York for this event. The area is nice and the locals are wonderful. I would really hate to see another "tradition" come to an end. (Geeze, first the Honda Hoot, then Myrtle Beach Bike Week, and now this.)
Nothing is definite yet, so lets hope for the best.
Ride safe all.

Ride safe all.I understand that they still have Myrtle Beach Bike week, but they do it in the county just south of Myrtle Beach. Cracks me up because all those there that voted to shut the bikers out are losing so much business they're going out of business. They Harley dealer moved his dealership out of Myrtle into the other county and is still doing fine. All the county commissioners are going to get voted out for killing the business that they get the one time of year from all the bikers during bike week. :clap:

Myrtle Beach Bike Week (or what remains of it) is going on now. I have been reading that attendance by both vendors and bikers is way down.
Read what the police are doing to everyone during bike week on the Cyril Huze Blog.
I am so glad we decided not to go there.

Maybe they should go out of business too! Traitors! They should move to Taiwang or China. Most of the dang parts are made there!!! So much for buying ANYTHING American anymore.
I changed my front brake pads last week and do you know that 2 of the bolts are metric!!:cds: It's a conspiracy! America is going away and very fast!
PS: before you give me any grief about the post, check out my ride:
