First off I would like to give a special thanks to everyone that came out to the Open House event last Saturday. We had a great time and we hope everyone else did too. We just wanted to give a small recap on the event for everyone.
The morning started off with a little rain and was a pretty muggy, but it burned off around noon. You don’t get a lot of humidity in California, but Saturday there was quite a bit in the air and it was hot! Some of the major events were the fashion show, 2010 bike unveiling, and Bob’s choice bike show.
The fashion show was a complete hoot. We had a number of volunteers and employees strutting their stuff on the runway and some of them got really into it. The new Motorclothes® looked really good on the girls and guys and I’m sure everyone would agree with me. After the fashion show was over he had some of the new 2010 models introduced by the Laidlaws. There are a number of new models and some that are being reintroduced this year that we are really excited about. I’m personal favorites are the new Fat Boy® Lo and the new Dyna Wide Glide®. These bikes both look way nice.

We also had the Bob’s choice bike show where entries were judged by our very own Bob Laidlaw. Bob ended up choosing a very nice looking Softail® Deluxe as the winner. The bike was dripping with chrome and had some sweet handle bars. All of the entries looked great, we even had a Yamaha entry, but Bob is a little bias and he didn’t choose it as the winner. All of the proceeds for the bike show went to Operation Gratitude which is an organization that provides care packages for US troops overseas. They are also helping us distribute the items for our Red, White, and Blue promotion.
At the event were a number of different charities and Harley related groups. Some of which were The Guide Dogs of America Foundation, Lucky 13, Quick Throttle Magazine, Golden State Skaters, Choir Boys, and Mattel Toys. The Mattel toy wheel was a big hit and I am pleased to report I won some mini carsthat I race around my desk. Those guide dogs were also amazing, I had no idea it cost $40,000 to train one of these Seeing Eye dogs. It is truly amazing what these dogs can do. We also had a number of great food vendors that had some amazing food. The Kung Pow Burrito was to die for!All in all we hope everyone had a great time and hope to see you at the Red, White, and Blue BBQ on September 12th!
