What do you do on a weekend before the New Year? The same thing you have done consistently throughout the year, throw a leg over your bike and go for a ride of course. And the usual solo morning ride took me to The Gasket Alley today to check out an event that was apparently put together specially for Harley-Davidson owners.

Called ‘The Big Weekender’, the exclusive but not so exclusive event is open for HD owners and non-owners alike. For fans of the brand, there is a 60% discount on apparel, riding gear and accessories, perfect for those who like to show their brand affiliation.

And for owners of HD bikes, there is a special 20% discount on bike parts and accessories. But if you are a member of the legendary Harley-Davidson Owners Group, you get to enjoy a further 5% discount for a total discount of 25% to beautify your bike. It would be worth mentioning now that this promotion is not applicable for servicing and motorcycle repair.

I ended up spending time browsing around Harley-Davidson Petaling Jaya, but ended up riding home empty handed since I had just bought a new HD jacket and t-shirts just a few weeks ago. But I figured that sharing such great discounts with fans and owners alike would bring me good karma. I did however sign up for the latest Sportster service campaign called “Beli Satu, Dapat Dua” (Buy one, get two) where owners just have to spend RM549 for one major and one minor service. Click here for more information on this superb service campaign.

I was told that ‘The Big Weekender’ takes place today and tomorrow from 10am till 7pm. Probably worth the visit if you have not bought a Christmas gift for someone who loves HD’s, or like me, just had some time to kill.
