Welcome to Live the Dream, the official e-newsletter of A.D. Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson & Buell in Downtown Columbus, A.D. Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson Shop at NorthStar in Sunbury, and Centennial Park Harley-Davidson In Pataskala.

Rolling The Bones …
To heck with the groundhog, we’re starting Spring EARLY! Feb. 15-17, in fact, which also happens to be EasyRider Bike Show Weekend! We’re rolling the dice and gearing up for a great event at Vet’s Memorial and at our Downtown Columbus Dealership, 491 W. Broad St. (only 400 yards from the show)! We’ll have special deals, extended Saturday hours, and you can enter to win a trip to Milwaukee for Harley-Davidson’s 105th anniversary party! We’ll also be showcasing our great selection of new and pre-owned Harley-Davidson motorcycles as well as a collection of Thunder Mountain Custom Cycles. Come out of hibernation and visit A.D. Farrow Co. and the EasyRider Bike Show in Downtown Columbus next weekend!

Speaking Of Bones …
Harley-Davidson introduced a very cool bike last month at the Winter Dealer Meetings - the Softail Cross Bones. This bike is edgy, dark and bad, and fits well with an untamed sub-set of “Dark Custom” Harleys out there, including: Nightster; Night Rod; Fat Bob; Street Bob; and Night Train. Visit www.harley-davidson.com to check out the new Cross Bones and these other great bikes, then get into one of our Dealerships and get one for yourself!

And When You Do Buy A Bike …
Get two tickets to the 2008 EasyRider Motorcycle Show at Vet’s Memorial when you buy a motorcycle from our Downtown Columbus Dealership! Vet’s and the Dealership at 491 W. Broad St. are a few hundred yards apart, so it is only natural that we build up excitement over Columbus’ biggest and best bike show! The tickets are for either Feb. 15, 16 or 17, and your purchase must take place between now and Friday, Feb. 15.

Service Clock Is Ticking …
We mentioned this before, and as predicted, we’re starting to see more bikes coming in for pre-riding season service. Don’t get stuck waiting: If you haven’t made plans yet, especially if your bike needs more than basic work, please get in touch with us so we can get you in and out as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Second-To-Last Call For Baked Goods!
Each year during the EasyRider Bike Show Weekend (February 15 – 17 this year), a bake sale to benefit Children’s Hospital is held at our Downtown Columbus location, 491 W. Broad St. The sale is held in honor of the late Donna Kennedy, a true friend missed by many at the dealership. All baked goods sold are donated, and we’d be honored to raise money with your donated candies, cookies, cupcakes, breads, brownies, etc., etc.! Goods can be dropped off between 3 and 5 p.m. on Friday, February 15, or between 8 and 9 a.m. on Saturday, February 16. Thanks for your help!

Destroyers’ Football Time Is Here!
The Harleys will be back at the Columbus Destroyers’ games this season! And what a season it is going to be! Not only was the football team the runner-up in the Arena Bowl, but on March 15 in the home opener at Nationwide Arena they’ll go against a new rival – CLEVELAND! Of course, the hardest job on the field is being one of the guys from our Downtown Columbus Dealership who ride the Bombshells in on the backs of their motorcycles, but they are willing to take on the task to support the team! Visit www.columbusdestroyers.com and make plans to attend these games this season!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
A.D. Farrow Co. Harley-Davidson has again been named one of the Top 100 Dealerships by DealerNews. Awards will be handed out February 15 in Indianapolis; we’re rumored to be up for another award at the event as well, so stay tuned, and thanks to everyone for their continued support of America’s Oldest Harley Dealer!
