ahappydude, I also stopped at South East Harley for a chip on my way to Ottawa for the Canadian National HOG rally. They had a burger "Sportglide" to die for. Best I've ever tasted. They also gave me a "dip dot" which I also collect, but thought Harley dealers stopped giving out years ago = usually free. It's a great looking dealership - very nostalgic.

I now have a total of 107 dealer chips and about 25 casino $5 chips in my collection.

 

Hey Gary,

What's a "dip dot"?

Thanks -

 

Wow, I got a ways to go for 100+ chips. South East was a pleasant surprise as I never heard of them. It is my favorite dealer to date!

 

I agree. The dealer in Rockford also has a café inside of the dealership - also great food especially breakfast.

I only collect the chips from dealers I've actually visited - on my bike. A friend did give me a chip form Texas once, that's all.
There have been a couple dealers that were closed when I got there, so never got one from them.

Green Dart, it's a 3/4" dia. metal disk with the dealers name on it. Some dealers use to stick them on the front calipers or some other place on the bike that a round disk would fit. Some dealers had different sizes, I have a couple that are about 1.5" in diam. and one that's concave. Usually just black ink on metal. Nothing fancy, but they were usually free.


I called them dealer disks, but one day someone at a dealer called them dip dots and I've heard that from other dealers since.

 

I have a an extra York Factory chip if anyone wants to swap.

 

The "dip dots" were sized to fit on the top of the oil dipsticks as a place to advertise the dealership. Some of the early originals were cast metal and curved to fit

 

just picked up a bunch of poker chips

WOW! 1 chip from a dealer is usually enough for me. I'd have to be a millionaire to do that with all the dealers.

The only ones I had a tough time deciding on were the dealers that had both a regular chip and an anniversary chip. Usually went with the anniversary chip.

 

I've been trading them

 

I get 2 from each.
