'Tooling' to O'Toole's

Typically, you won’t find the Chief riding in near freezing temperatures these days.
There are however, exceptions to that rule. A common exception would include having an opportunity to promote the RoadLoK system and knowing that an enthusiastic group of Harley enthusiasts awaits a demonstration.

O’Toole’s is a neatly placed Harley-Davidson Dealership nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. When the call came in from Tom – aka "Digs" –expressing an interest in seeing just exactly what the RoadLoK was all about, the thought of riding to his dealership to demo the RoadLoK System greatly outweighed the fact that the mercury in the glass was stuck on thirty four.

A phone conversation earlier in the day to my friend Eric, at American Bagger Magazine – regarding the fact that I was heading out for a cold ride –prompted a suggestion from him, “wear a full face helmet.” Thanks Eric, it helped!

Upon arriving at O’Toole’s and meeting with Tom -my RoadLoK Sales Partner Steve and I briefed him on everything from the birth of the RoadLoK, to a proposal or two on becoming directly involved in our effort to promote motorcycle security nationwide.

Our meeting changed locales from the comfort and warmth of Tom’s office, to the chilled parking lot before my fingers had the opportunity to regain total feeling and use. It was here, that I did what I believe that I do best –talk.

The Parts , Service and Sales staff at O’Toole’s watched patiently as I showed off the RoadLoK and all of its finer points. Impressed? I believe that they were. So much so, that they asked me to leave my Harley with them for another day so that they could really check it out. Uh, well…actually I asked them if they would mind doing the ten thousand mile service for me. “Gladly” was the reply.

O’Toole’s is another outstanding Harley-Davidson dealership that RoadLoK Security has had the pleasure of visiting. Thanks Tom --two thumbs up!
