Back in 2001 when the Honda GL1800 first came out there was a Casino about 100 miles from my home that was giving away one per week for a month. So every week I rode down there hopping to win one. I always went to the restaurant in the Casino to get something to eat while there. Well about the third week I was eating in the very full restaurant when this older fellow came walking through by him self looking for a place to sit down so I invited him to sit at my table, he was a 68 year old farmer still milking 80 cows, we had a nice conversation. When the drawing started I told him I had to go watch. Well the next thing I know there’s the farmer up on the stage with 2 other contestants , it was a elimination thing and the farmer wound up winning a brand new GL1800 ! So I stuck around until I could get a chance to shake his hand and congratulate him, I also wrote my name and phone number on a piece of paper and told him to call me if he wanted to sell the bike, well about 2 weeks later he called and we made a very nice deal.
