Tifton Harley-Davidson Dealership receives Gold Bar & Shield Award
If you are riding south toward events in South Georgia and Florida, or north toward Atlanta on I-75, once you get into Tifton, Ga., you may have seen the two-story Harley dealership at exit 61.
Even though this dealership spot had been around for almost 16 years, the latest owners, Eric Sternberg and Eddy Soberon have transformed this dealership into a friendly customer-oriented stopping place.
Even though his dealership is only 1 1/2 years old, through the efforts of the owners and their staff, as well as customer support, garnered the dealership with the prestigious Gold Bar & Shield Circle of Excellence Award for 2017. This award is given only to the top 25 out of 678 dealerships Nationwide. Having placed 8th overall is quite an achievement for this young dealership.
The Gold Bar & Shield Award is presented by the Motor Company based on motorcycle & related product sales performance, customer service and satisfaction, and operational measures.
So, what better way to show appreciation to their customers is to have a Customer Appreciation Event with food & refreshments, music, and the Busted Knuckle Stunt Show Tour.
The music started with the band “Naturally Southern” and ended with a Cowboy “Kid-Rock” tribute. They also had a drawing for a $500 Tifton H-D shopping spree.
The Busted Knuckles Stunt Tour is a Kick-Ass, V-Twin Thrill Show performed solely on Harley-Davidson motorcycles. These American Daredevils perform stunts that include wheelies, acrobatics, burnouts, jumps, pyro, and whatever else these crazy performers have up their sleeve. Every show is unique and different. You never know what tricks you may see during each show or what tricks they may come up with in the middle of it all. Exciting, crazy, fun, and just Bad Ass are just a few words to describe the Busted Knuckles Stunt Tour. A loud and energetic crowd is just fuel to the rider’s fire. So the louder the crowd gets, the wilder they get!
What was impressive was not only did stunt rider owner King Tony and performer, Eric Rocks, do stunts with Sportsters and a Street Bob but also with the bigger Dyna Lowrider and Softail Slim under the narration of their multi-tattooed MC, “Drewcifer” Drew May. This stunt got more intense and showed the crowd that it was real, when Kid Rocks kicked his bike up doing a wheel stand, hit the titanium rear plate and it flipped up and over, slamming his face down on the pavement. Despite facial bleeding, the 8-year veteran of the show got up and walked away from the crash to the cheering crowd. The performance lived up to and beyond their name.
