Don't count on HD interest Marty. It has been tried before. Apparently we bore (or worry) them. Contacts are being tried again for the 2010 event. So we'd not want to duplicate that effort. But no one has absolutely any expectation the effort will be at all fruitful.

Here's my perspective based on my past experience on why your post above is correct.
Each dealership is independently owned and operated.
And that dealer only operates in their assigned territory.
You can have the greatest relationship with your own personal dealer but to ask him for help for a CVO event (or any event) in another area sounds good but his hands are tied.
NOT HIS TERRITORY!I assume Ghost Town HD has the Maggie Valley area. Someone would need to talk to Gene Lumas (the owner,
AJ maybe) to see if he would talk with the Motor Company.
Then there's the question of schedule, when I asked, I was shown that the schedule of events had already been booked more than a year in advance.
Another consideration is the economy, Harley is cutting back
everywhere, York, less production, Buell, etc.
Why send a big truck a thousand miles to MV and back home for 200 people? The Motor Company is not that hungry.
So not to be a dispenser of gloom and doom there is an avenue that could be explored.
If someone (
AJ) could meet and talk with Gene Lumas then maybe he would be willing to do a Screamin Eagle Event that would cater to us.
And I don't mean free hotdogs, I mean something like having
all the 2011's available for test rides.
But the reality of that happening is slim.
Why?, , , , , Ghost Town sells for above MSRP, why do an event to promote 2011 bikes to have your customers go home to their home dealer to buy.
Good luck is all I say.
Stranger things have happened!
