The story goes that Dean Hummer bought an H-D dealership and sold so many 125cc lightweights he got a call from "the factory" about this . . . They wanted him to come to Milwaukee for a meeting (or maybe it was a scheduled dealer meeting?) He knew something was up . . . hoped he wasn't in trouble, or maybe they wanted to know his sales strategies??? Anyway, they asked if they could name the Model after him . . . after that day, they were christened The Harley Hummer !
Hey Noot . . . Harley called,
"They want to name their new bike The Nootster
What do ya think?
And they thought Omaha was just a big livestock market.
ReplyDeleteBut poor old Bill Bobcat, Steve Scat, Pete Pacer, and Roger Ranger never get mentioned!
ReplyDeleteActually I'd never head the story of Dean Hummer. Thanks for that.
