I only go if I have to spend money but when I'm there I will at least say hi to all that I know.

why do so many of you always wonder what others are doing or wearing or riding or ................??
perhaps you should live by your own words.

Its just a curiosity to me that I don't get - don't like the question, don't chime in.

I usually stop in on most Saturdays to see whats new (Bikes, jackets, t-shirts, etc.) I am friends with many of the employees so I BS a little too. The free donuts aren't bad either!

....There are a lot of guys that just go to the dealership and hang out. They are not buying bikes, they are not getting service, or buying parts,they are kicking back, shooting the **** with whomever will listen, drinking crappy coffee......
We have a ton of regulars that hang around the shop (or at least drop in a couple of times a week). We're glad to see them, it's good for business to have people in the shop (buying or not), plus they're a good bunch of folks.

You are "right on the point". Look around and see the hang out's. Silver colored hair, dew rag and big stomach. Boasting of "Glory Days". Hah! The Hooter girls love me because I ride a Harley and don't do fear.

This thread reminds me of a friend of mine. He would go to the dealer he bought his bike at every Saturday during the summer time because they served free hot dogs and chips. I asked him about it and he said that he spent 17 grand there on his bike and he was trying to get some of that money back in free lunches. I busted out laughing and said man you better eat a lot of f***ing hotdogs for 17 grand!

There's one dealer I'll stop at from time to time and BS with the service guys, or I'll sit on the bench out front smoking cigarettesand watch people come and go. You just can't buy entertainment like that. I've seen it all, met some cool people,and some that make me think they are some socialogical experimentrun amuck.

I kind of feel bad for my dealer because I am the "stealer" . On Saterday they give out free hamburgers/hotdogs and Miller Lite. I go eat their food, drink their beer but I never buy anything from them.Then Iplace my parts order for Zanottis because of the discount.
