Millwork for Less Door Tour
August 23-25, 2006
The Harleys had to go!. While a staple of
the American motorcycle scene, and, arguably, the salvation of the
motorcycling industry in the SUV crazed United States, they are not the
two wheel mode of preference for the Millwork for Less staff. Our staff was bred on
dirt bikes and sport tourers, both styles derived far from the roots of
the American rattler know as Harley-Davidson. Regardless, the 2006 Door
Tour became a must following the great feedback we received from our
customers during our inaugural
2005 tour. At home, there seemed to be no arm twisting
needed to drag out associates to visit some eastern states. With the
generous sponsorship of Capitol Area Triumph
(
www.catriumph.com
) in Highspire, PA, we set off for door delivery points in Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Maryland
and West Virginia.
 Repeating
their efforts, Monica McCready, Director of Marketing and Alan Rehm,
Operations Manager were joined by their associate, Hillary Espich who
manages our sister site. Additionally, Todd Wilfong, the
founder of Millwork for Less joined in, despite being the slowing force (boat anchor)
of the adventuresome quartet. Equipped with multiple GPS devices, two
spry Triumph Tigers and a spanking new Triumph Sprint, the group set out
under a beautiful August morning sunlight on the 23rd of
August 2006.
Alan spent many evening
and weekend hours scheduling our routes. In no way would he allow the
group to traverse door points in a direct fashion, but only the most
scenic, road kill filled causeways and cow paths would suffice for our
routes. While it seemed we could have done the trip in 300 miles, we
actually completed our trip after 3 days and 850 miles of mostly two
lane tracts of natural beauty.
