I love cars too, so I don't see a problem with the show.

However, I've also heard that Frazier's isn't that great of a dealership to work with. No personal experience, just what I've heard.

I look at vehicles as art, whether it is a bike, truck or car. The idea in ones head comes to life in metal and paint facinates me. I wish I was that talented.

Since you mentioned it, Adamec HD of Jacksonville, had a car and bike show last week also. I went, entered my bike and brought home a trophy.

You asked if you were overreacting. You were looking for justification or you wouldn't have posted this at all. The problem is you didn't get the response you thought you would. Oh, and yes, you are in the minority.

Then you became defensive with the responses. I have a fairing.. but.. but..but..but "It a quarter fairing. it doesn't count as a fairing because I can't tell much of a difference with or without it. So no it doesn't count."

The local HD (Frazier's HD), had the Halloween duh-dah this Saturday. I rarely visit this dealership as they don't have as good of reputation as other is the area although I do live closer to Frazier's.

This issue I had was that they had a CAR show as part of the Halloween festivities. A freaking cage show at the HD dealership. They did have a bike show, but it looks like only four or five bikes entered.

I'm 'friends' with Frazier's on Facebook and they post pictures from the event. They have about 30 or so pictures, but all I saw was pictures of cars with only 1 picture of bikes and the picture was from all the way from across the parking lot.

I know some of you guys dig cars. I like old cars somewhat, but would suffer in the cold and rain before I drive one my cars (2016 Jeep, 2008 Pathfinder) unless I need to haul something substantial.

Why would a motorcycle dealership be posting pictures of a stinking car show?

If HD is in as bad a shape as everyone keeps insinuating, then this is a big red flag in my book. Am I overreacting?
Why? Maybe because as you said they only had 4 or 5 bikes that entered. Are you over reacting? That would be a big old YES. You said they had a bad rep and that probably had something to do with the poor bike turn out. If Harley is in bad shape, then it's only about the millionth time I've heard how Harley is on it's last legs. It's a constant theme. Just a couple years ago it was Indian that was going to put Harley on it's knees. Before that, it was (pick em) a Japanese manufacturer doing them in. It's been said the cost of them which really isn't any more than a comparable "foreign" make was going to be their downfall. At the end of the day, Harley is still in business, selling more big street bikes than anyone else. If they are in trouble I'll believe it when I see it and one show at one dealer says nothing.

A substantial number of bike owners are also into cars, hot rods, show cars, muscle cars,sports cars as they are with motorcycles.

They are representative of the same scene.

The dealer did good! Shows an inclusive appreciation of others hobbies. Unlike the OP.
