I went to the AHDRA here on Father's Day many a year ago. Back in 2002, I think. It was bad ***!

I have 200 shares of HOG, if I were half smart I'd short it now, I was going to last year but the Milwaukee 8 came out and I wanted to see shares.

The smart bet is to short this one.
Actually, they're the ones that got be back into 5 years ago. They were buying Harley's and wanted me to go with them to look at them. We bought 3 new ones. Idea was to be able to spend some time together and ride together. Rode together twice. They won't go with me because I "go too far" Youngest one has a 2013 Street Glide, his 3 rd bike and probably has about 3,000 miles on it. I have almost 32,000 on my '14

Haha...the older one pretty much only goes to the firehouse and back...about 4 blocks. The old lady next door,one day, says.. " I think I saw Jason go by on his bike 6 times today"....back and forth to the firehouse.

Just figured it out....two kids, five bikes total in 5 years put on a TOTAL of 6500 miles.

Going to my nearest Starbucks is as far as I normally like to go. Less than a mile away.
