After I parted ways with Mickey and his brother, Randy, I stopped at Harmon Honda in Ironton, which is about 27 miles east of our lunch stop to check on some trunk lights for the Goldwing. Harmon Honda isn’t the closest dealership to my house. It’s about 50 miles from where I live. I pass up 3 dealerships on the way there. But, they’ve been in business over fifty years and it’s a father/son/daughter run business. I’ve got to know them all on a first name basis over the years. They serviced my ‘15 Goldwing and my CB. I bought the 2021 Goldwing from them this past August plus a Honda mower and string trimmer over the last 2 years. Small but personable.
I walk into the service area and their mechanic, Billy, asks:
“What did you break this time?”

Billy then asked me what I had been up to while he and the owner’s son Eddie, were putting a soft top on a side by side. When I told them I had just come back from having lunch at “The Ribbers”, I immediately got chastised for not bringing them steaks.

(I should’ve followed in Mickey’s footsteps….he did that the first time we met at the ribbers for lunch).
I put in a order for some lights and then went into their showroom to drool over this…. (Not for sale… already asked)

I then headed home thinking what a great lunch with Mickey and Randy and day to ride. (I’ve been dealing with back issues since the rally, so this was the first ride of any distance I’ve taken. The Cb hasn’t been moved since the rally.
