Good luck to your wife, sounds like she will be an asset to the company as excited as she is to get started.

When I lived in PA. I used to ride down to the old store, they always had the free hot dogs and donuts & coffee on the weekends. I have seen the new building but it was not open yet when I saw it. Not far from the store is a great place to hang...the "Union Hotel" and "The Laffayette" also nearby is good place to sit & have a beer & some seafood. I have heard Mike and Linda are working for Chesapeake these days, they worked for Jim Foster at The Harley Davidson Store when I bought my Wide Glide.

Business Development is just that...they develop the business with creative ways to attract new customers, generate increased floor traffic, plan special events etc.

That will be the struggle - not spending the check before she gets it.

thanks Gazz and I think she is a hottie and stop by and see her.

She is planning on more bling - she wants me to show her pics off of here to start the list.

No it is up in Darlington MD near Havre De Grace and the Conowingo Dam.

Congrats on the new job , good to hear someone is finding them .
Yep, she is lucky.

WOW....you are not going to win any spelling bees!

The calls are only annoying if you came in and played "make believe" with the salesman who is trying his best to make a living for his family. "High priced"? You knew the price of everything before you walked in the door. In this modern world of internet and telephone buying, customer follow-up via email and telephone is essential to a successful business plan.

Cool. I always stop in there on my trips back home to Baltimore. Nice dealership and I love riding over the Conowingo Dam, as a member of the MD National Guard my dad was stationed to guard it before the US got into WWII.

Excellent, that is a great ride through the area and a great place to hang out.
