Okay, so yesterday I decided to finally check out that Harley Davidson place on the Miracle Mile. You know, the one everyone keeps talking about? I’ve been kinda curious about Harleys, so I figured, why not?
Getting There
First off, finding the place was super easy. I just popped “Harley Davidson Miracle Mile NY” into my phone’s maps, and bam – directions were right there. Parking, though, that was a bit of a different story. It’s the Miracle Mile, so what did I expect, right? Street parking was packed as usual. I drove around for maybe 10-15 minutes before I finally squeezed into a spot a couple blocks away.
Checking Out the Bikes
Walking into the showroom was pretty cool. I mean, rows and rows of shiny, gleaming Harleys. It was kind of overwhelming, to be honest. I didn’t really know where to start, so I just started wandering around, taking it all in.
- They had all sorts of models – some huge, some smaller, some looked like they were straight out of an old movie.
- The chrome on some of these bikes…wow. I swear I could see my reflection perfectly.
- I even saw a few that were customized – crazy paint jobs, different handlebars, all sorts of stuff.
I’m not gonna lie, I felt a little out of place. Everyone else there seemed to know exactly what they were looking for, and I was just…browsing. But, nobody gave me any weird looks or anything.
Talking to the Staff
After a while, I decided to try to chat with one of the salespeople. I figured, might as well learn something while I’m here. I walked up to a guy who looked pretty friendly, and just straight up told him I was new to the whole Harley thing. He was super chill about it. He didn’t try to pressure me into anything, just asked me what I was interested in, what kind of riding I thought I might want to do (which, honestly, I had no idea).
He showed me a couple of bikes he thought might be good for beginners, explained some of the differences between the models, and even let me sit on a few. That was helpful, just to get a feel for the size and weight.
The Overall Experience
Honestly, I was there for a good hour, maybe more. I didn’t buy anything (way too big of a decision to make on the spot!), but I definitely learned a lot. It was a cool experience, just to see all those bikes and get a little taste of the Harley culture. I’m still not sure if I’m a “Harley guy,” but I’m definitely glad I went.
It was cool to do something on the spot.
