Ok so I have to tell you...this July has been one of my absolute favorite months since I started at the dealership. Next to August of 2008 of course, only because that was our 105th Anniversary Party and 4,000 people in one day is hard to top! I feel like July of 2010 is screaming positivity. We always have lots of great events, but I think people are just itching for that Harley feeling this month because we have been PACKED.
Saturdays are always our busist days. (side note - if you haven't visited us on a Saturday, you are missing out) We guarantee to have food and some sort of entertainment or event. But lately, Saturdays have been "boomin" for lack of a better term :) It's so great to see the excitement. People are riding, they are enjoying each others' company, and they are LIVING THE ADVENTURE!
Hope to see you all soon!

It's JULY!
Is that even possible? Here we are, more than halfway through 2010, and I feel like the snow just melted! I suppose our flowers should tell me otherwise. ANYWAY... as we head into this wonderful month of July, we ofcourse have many many events to tell you about. So let's get started. I'll give you the scoop and you can mark your calendars. Sound like a plan?
THIS WEEKEND
Huge Independence Day Party. Food, Door Prizes, Vendors, Specials. You name it, we'll have it. Just take note of the GIANT balloon that will be in our parking lot all weekend. I can't give you any more details. This party is a SURPRISE.
Saturday, July 10th & Saturday, July 17th
Sign up to win a BRAND NEW 2010 FORTY-EIGHT SPORTSTER PLUS A $3,000 ADVENTURE GIFT CARD. No you are not misreading this. You could actually win all of this. We're doing a game called the Lucky Lock. The first 750 people each day can sign up to win. You will guess a 6 digit combination. If your combination is right, YOU WIN and the contest is over. Sounds easy, right? It is. So come do it!

- You will have until 3pm to complete the scavenger hunt and be eligible to win

Million Mile Monday!
The national H.O.G. club does this really cool promotion called Million Mile Monday. It started out as a fun event to get people all riding on one day. The event started in 2008. Because of the overwhelming response, they kicked up the goal for the 2nd year and got over FIVE million miles in 2009. Let's see how much more we can kick it up for 2010! Million Mile Monday is this coming Monday, June 28th. All you have to do is ride on Monday and register your mileage at the end of the day at www.members.hog.com.
If you need somewhere to ride on Monday, we have a Tuscarawas County H.O.G. Chapter ride to West Virginia leaving our dealership at 10am. Make sure to bring a helmet because West Virginia has a helmet law. If you need more information about the event, feel free to contact me at 330-364-6519 or email at nicki.snyder@hmhd.com. Or you can visit the national H.O.G. website.
Hopefully you'll find time to participate! Have fun... :)

WORK STINKS - LET'S RIDE
Alright people...we all know work stinks, right? Ok, well my job doesn't really stink, but you get the picture. But everyone needs a break, RIGHT!? So take one! Come visit Adventure this Wednesday at 12:30pm (yes that means you won't be going back to work after lunch) for a ride! Matt Perry will be leading...he's our floor supervisor. All the more reason to come.
These guys did it last month - you don't wanna miss this!
That's all that needs to be said :) -Nicki

LONG OVERDUE!
Hey all! Sorry for my brief hiatus from blogging...won't happen again :) I have so much to catch you up on! Well where to begin. May was better than could be expected. We had our HOG Wild Party and Red Cross Red White & Chrome Poker Run, which area always a good time. Big Brothers/Big Sisters took the win for the charity bbq contest and earned over $1,300 for their charity! The other charities did a wonderful job and we had so much fun with this contest. The Swap Meet was a big hit. It was our very first time ever doing this and despite the rainy day - people were everywhere!
Our Red White & Chrome Poker run raised over $3,000 for the American Red Cross and took our riders on a nice long ride through Amish Country. We got great feedback on this ride, more than ever before.
Our first "Work Stinks" ride was also a success. We had just shy of 20 people skip work and ride with our parts manager, Jim. I'll post photos soon.
And probably the biggest blowout success of May was our first ever bike night at the dealership. We've never had our bike nights on site before. We always set up at a local restaurant. But, we wanted to switch it up this year and man was it worth it! We had over 400 bikes, over 600 people, and more HOG HEAVEN food than we could ask for. Mobile Jams DJ'd the night and we gave away door prizes every 15 minutes.
If you missed out on May, don't worry. We're doing it all over again in June! We'll have free Bob Evans Breakfast every Saturday, Bike Night, Double Rewards Points days, Demo Days, and of course another "work stinks" ride. Just follow our facebook page (www.facebook.com/adventurehd) or our website for more information.
Until my next post (which will be within the week, I promise!) - enjoy the riding weather. I'm at our other dealership, Mad River Harley-Davidson for Ohio Bike Week. If you haven't been here yet...trust me, you need to.
Talk soon,
Nicki :)

Mad River Harley-Davidson Thundering Into Sandusky
Well folks, you've all heard the buzz. I'm here to confirm it. Mike Davis, owner of Adventure Harley-Davidson, has announced he will be opening a second location in Sandusky, OH. Here is what I can tell you right now. The new dealership will be called Mad River Harley-Davidson. It will be located at the previous Harley building on Milan Road in Sandusky. And, our goal is to be open by Ohio Bike Week.
If you aren't familiar with Ohio Bike Week, it is basically a huge celebration of bikers, bikes, music, vendors, and food. Hundreds of thousands of people gather in Sandusky for a blow out bash that lasts about 8 days. Runs, rids, parties, and celebrations can be found everywhere during this time. Why WOULDN'T we want to be open by then?
What that means for us is we are working very hard to get everything done that needs to get done. We are in the process of interviewing for all posiitons at the new store and have had some very promising candidates. I will keep you all updated as we learn more about our opening date, our HOG chapter, and any other updates/exciting news about the new dealership.
I know a quick blog doesn't do this news justice, but I wanted to keep our fans updated on where we are with the process. Thanks for your continued support in this exciting new venture for us!
