BIKERNET INVESTIGATOR EMBEDDED IN CELEBRATION– I have observed for the past year and a half all the build up leading up to Harley-Davidson’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. I have seen a lot of people and a lot businesses jump on the band wagon. Let me say H-D is a great American success story before I go any farther. This past weekend I witnessed one of the weakest attempts to jump on the band wagon before the year closes out.
Three dealers here in North Carolina hosted the “HEAD DISTILLER” from Jack Daniels so he could sign your bottle of Jack commemorating “100 YEARS of MOTORCYLING in NORTH CAROLINA.” The weather was good, so I decided to attend all three events and observe. All you had to do was go down to your local ABC store and lay your $40 down for the bottle and “THE HEAD DISTILLER” would sign it for you after you stood in line for at least 2 hours or more! I could not believe how many people bought into this farce! Most of them never realized this had nothing to do with H-D’s 100th celebration. Nowhere on the bottle did it say H-D anything. A small badge hung around the neck of the bottle that said “Celebrating 100 Years Of Motorcycling In North Carolina.”
That was it! In 1903 H-D produced three bikes. I am going to go out on a limb here and venture to say that not 1 of the 3 made it to North Carolina! Another point in fact that this had nothing to do with the H-D 100th celebration, I guess you can fool most of the “New Breed” of so-called bikers with about anything. They thought they were getting something that would be priceless in years to come, but the reality of it is that it won’t because it doesn’t say H-D anywhere on the bottle. I guess I have to say to this, “Each his Own.”
To me I can spend my $40 to add something to my bike. I guess at the end of all of this hoopla everyone went home happy, especially “THE OLD HEAD DISTILLER”! One big business had lined their pockets by taking advantage of another big business’s 100th birthday! Only in America! I think I will go the old ABC store and get me a bottle of that stuff you drink, Tully-More Dew or whatever the hell it is called???
