Wednesday Ride To The Harley Shop- 10-29-08

Today, Wednesday, 10-29-08, I followed David down to Eddie Hill's in his truck so he could drop off his bike for repairs. We left Eddie' Hill's and went to the Red River Harley Davidson Dealership, which is one of our hangouts and since its been a few weeks since I've been there, I took my camera and thought I would do an updated post on the dealership and the folks that work there, all whom have become friends of ours. So, scroll on down and check out the update and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE...



We got there at about 9 a.m. and just about the time the sun was hitting the big Harley sign out front. One thing about the Harley logo, you don't have to read it to know what it is. Even when it's sunlit...



They already had some of the used bikes sitting out..I always enjoy looking at the bikes and at what the previous owners had added on to them..Some sharp looking and sounding bikes..


> We went inside and saw Greg. Greg is one of our retired coworkers that landed a job with Harley upon retirement. He runs the Riders Edge Program. For more info, see the following link to the dealership: http://redriverharley-davidson.com/Default.asp Above is David and Greg in Greg's office





Here are some of the new Harleys on the showroom floor. Today I only drooled on two or three...

Here is one I drooled on. It's a Screaming' Eagle....My favorite bike colors, blue & gray. Or as Greg corrected me, more like blue & pewter.

I found my favorite salesperson, Jennie, hard at work folding t-shirts..

Jennie showed me her new tat: the Texas Lone Star.

On her other arm is the blue rose with her daughter, Madison's, name on it..Good lookin' tattoo's Jennie...

Here is Royce & Gene trying to get some work done, but were kind enough to pause for a picture..

More bikes on the showroom floor. They really have some great bikes at Red River Harley Davidson

Here is the ever energetic Amber working hard overseeing Ginger & Jennie....

And here are the two hard workers, Jennie & Ginger..I watched them with the t-shirts and I am here to tell ya, they have that folding sequence down! Very fast & very good...

We lured Greg out of his office into the bright light by the check out counter..He really loves working there at RRHD.

Another Harley that I slobbered on.

They had some more Harley clocks that I had to get a pic of. All different than the last one's I posted

Here was a rack of metal Harley signs..The Harley dealerships of today carry stuff we only dreamed about back in the 70's..They have come a LONG way!!

They even had a clearance rack of helmets & boots...

Another view of that Dyna Screamin' Eagle...

This is Christina. She tried to sneak by but being the quick fat guy that I am, I caught her and talked her into a picture. She is another hard worker of the Harley team there at RRHD. And like I told them today, I am not really fat, it's just a protective covering for my rock hard abs....

One of the scenic corners in the Dealership

The other corner and what I call, "The Sign of the Times"..

Ya'll have heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Think I'm kidding? Well, this is a Big Ass Fan!!

And this is the "Big Ass Fan" box that it comes in. Keith told me that the fan has 10 speeds on it. At #4, it blows everything everywhere around the shop..

Jennie hard at work at the front register, waiting on customers..

Ginger hard at work at the other register at the front counter, waiting on customers.

This is Gene, Christina & Keith, taking time out for a quick picture.

Keith took us back in the back to show us this trike that was traded in the other day

This is a 1999 Honda Valkyrie Trike with 1,200 miles on it for $15,000. Sharp looking bike

Another view of the trike. We called Steve G. that rides with us and told him about it and he is supposed to come test drive it today. Steve G. has that red Valkyrie that is pictured in some of the previous posts

Here is the last pic of the Valkyrie trike.

Last pic this morning was of David and Jim. Jim is also a former coworker and I believe he is part owner of RRHD. A great guy and he knows his stuff about motorcycles..

That will conclude this post..I had a great time visiting with the folks at Red River Harley Davidson and slobbering on the bikes..If your ever in the vicinity of Wichita Falls Texas, stop in and say hi and look at the bikes at RRHD. They are located at US 287 & City View Dr. on the North side of the highway.
