Freakin awesome video....That was nice...thanks.

 

I met Grover a month or so ago when I was ordering parts for the new Street Glide that I bought from his Dealer. I was in Macon on Business, and it was a rainy Tuesday afternoon, and he and I chatted for about 45 min. He was awesome all the way around.

 

A real pleasure to watch. That Video just made my decision as to whom I am naming as my "Home Dealer" in this years Hoka Hey Challenge.

Thanks for posting it.

 

I went to school with Greg and Gary. I bought my first Harley from Grover in 1971 when he still had his shop on Second St. I am proud to say I am on a first name bases with Grover and at 90 he is still very sharp. I talk to him all the time when I go to the shop.

 

I just sent his store an email letting them know that I have named him as my Home Dealer for this years Hoka Hey. With any luck I'll finish in the top 5 and he will get something from the Motor Company.

 

I don't think that 30 minutes was enough time. Would enjoy spending some face time listening to his stories, lotta history there. Sounds like we need more Grovers' in the dealerships.

 

Thanks for posting, really enjoyed listening to the man. If all dealers had this mans ethics.......well you know the rest.

"A. D. Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson in Columbus, Ohio, was founded in February of 1912 and is recognized as the oldest continuously operating Harley-Davidson dealer in America by the Harley-Davidson Motor Company. You can visit A. D. Farrow Co.'s website (www.adfarrow.com) to see a video made by Harley-Davidson documenting the claim.
Furthermore, in response to a letter to the editor with the same question, the Enthusiast magazine, the official magazine of the Harley-Davidson Motor Co., wrote "A.D. Farrow in Columbus, Ohio, is recognized as the oldest continuously operated H-D dealer in the world, having begun selling the brand in Feburary 1912. Kegel Motor Co., of Rockford, Ill., which opened its doors March 1912, is the oldest under continuous ownership" (Enthusiast, Fall 2008, pg. 8)."
