For me, first, I have to ride to the dealer in order to get a chip, BUT I will not ride out of my way to get it. The dealer has to be on my route. I don't have the luxury of extra time - I only get a few days vacation so I have to make them count.

Back in the day, I did the same thing with dealer "Dip Dots". Have a lot of them also. Very few dealers still have them.

Still a lot cheaper than t-shirts

It's still a fun hobby. Enjoy it!!

 

I just started collecting 'em. I think it's a fun way to keep some mementos of places I've ridden to.

Also, cheaper than t-shirts.

 

Would also like to know where to find one of these. Like it better than any other display I've seen so far.

 

Been riding since 1973. Just started collecting about a year ago. Not sure when they started with poker chips. I've got about 10 an I wish I would have started collecting sooner.

 

Hello All, I got my first chip 3 years after I got my first Harley and now have 190. About 1/3 of my total (21 states and PR), I rode to on My 2010 or 2015 CVO Street Glide. I started collecting t-shirts and within a couple years, the waist grew and the t-shirts no longer fit. In 2013, on a 100-mile trip to the dealer I got my first two Harleys, I decided to get a poker chip. That is when I started collecting. I originally only got a chip if I rode to the dealer.

I started traveling to the east coast for work and decided to start collecting from dealers I didn't actually ride to. I do not have any chips from dealers that I didn't actually walk into. The only one I have outside the lower 48 is Puerto Rico. I have all the dealers in MS, OK and TX (rode to all but 10). Missing only 1 from AR and NM. I tried the display case that H-D sells, but I find I like the leather bound book (https://houseofharley.com/harley-dav...ips-6654d.html) better. When I purchased 3 books, I got free shipping and almost $10 less each than at my local dealer.

To actually ride to all the dealers for chips, I would have to wait until I retire. And who knows how much riding I will still be able to do. So I'm getting them any way I can, but only from a dealer I actually walk into. It's not as fun when I drive vs. riding to the dealer, but I still get to see the dealer. The closest dealer that I've not been to is at least 8 hours away, one-way.

Planning to move to FL next year and will be able to knock out FL and GA pretty easy. I hope to make a ride thru AZ, CA, UT, CO (about 50) trip before leaving TX.

Happy riding!

 

same for me. my rule is I have to ride the bike there to get the chip.
I don't have a ton. but do have a few. hope to collect more next year as this year just didn't get to ride as much as I wanted.

 

I've picked up a few more since then, a few from Germany and a couple that were given to me.

 

I always buy two poker chips at every dealer I visit. I always get a black and organic one, plus some other colour combo. No idea why....

 

I have yet to buy one...... with that said I like your display.

 

What is the highest price anyone has paid for a chip and what is the lowest price paid.
The lowest I've paid was 0 and the highest was $3.50. Average is about $1 to $1.50
Depending on the money grubbing dealer.

I like the "Dip Dots" better - they were free.

Last count I have 115 chips(everyone I rode to--by bike) and 47 Dip Dots also from dealers I actually rode to over the years. Started with Dip Dots back in the 70's.
