My advice is stay away from LVHD main store though, you might go green with envy!

Have you been there before? My recommendations for best places are Downtown (around Fremont)...best bar Hogs& Heifers, best eat is Main Street Station.

Enjoy!
Thanks Boris!

We'll certainly be checking LVH-D out on Monday, and we're meeting up with Phil that evening. Looking at the itinerary, our only other evening when we've got nothing planned will be Wednesday, so maybe we'll do Hogs & Heifers then!

Cheers

It this is true I will have to buy a Road king this year.
I've just had a look at my calendar, and it's definitely not April 1st.

I wouldn't worry about this rumour too much JR.

Have a great trip John, give my regards to Phil. Ask him to tell you about his own personal 'Plonker' in one of his workshops.

You will recognise Phil he will have a glass in his hand like this:


Notice his little finger!

Re: A dealer's perspective - life at Oxford H-D

Thanks John have a good trip

The picture of the watercooled Road King had me going there. My heart sunk it was an "End of the World" experience there for a while.

All in All Nice one Baza it had me fooled.

Looking forward to meeting up with Phil, which we plan to do on the Monday or Tuesday evening. Apparently he's picking up the drinks tab!

I always said he's one of the good guys!
You must be thinking of somebody else there moneybags.

Re: A dealer's perspective - life at Oxford H-D

Guys,

I'm desperately sad to tell you all that my old sparring partner Darren Mulliner, known to you in this Forum as Yoffi, tragically lost his life in an accident this morning. Darren was pretty-much an institution at Dockgate 20 H-D for some time, and a top, top salesman.

I know no details other than he was riding a Buell and on his way home from a Buell event.

Darren does leave a young family.

John

Very sorry to hear that John. I will look forward to raising a glass in his memory next week. Very Sad. Didn`t know the man , but had heard plenty.
