I talked with Toni yesterday and mentioned the cool happy holidays card. She said the guys at AMS went to an old airport in Crowley and spent three hours running at the photographer to get the shot. I think it looks awesome, it's my best card yet. [thumbsup]

Hey Red, all you got to do is buy a bike from Jeff and your set.
I sent you text messages last night about the bike but George was the first to figure it out today - look for the signature.
all the cards in my office window that gets the most looks.

I have bought a brand new bike from there, but I got no card :P
maybe I should quit moving?

That must be why you got an e-mail instead ;D
i didn't buy a bike from them, so i just got the email...
QuoteEveryone who is in the pursuit of the Holy Day Spirit becomes convinced that a commonality is indeed manifest in the laws of the Universe - a Spirit vastly superior to that of us mere mortals...
a good deal more than the simple "happy holidays" i was expecting from a moto dealership...
I have not bought a bike from them but I got a card. For all the service that I've had done over the years, I guess I could have bought a Monster. maybe a used one.

I am glad that I did not get this e-mail. "Happy holy days?" I know that this is fine to some of you, but I am not a beleiver of this (or any) religion. I know of several atheists on the board that are not happy either. I understand the hallmark christmas stuff, but it should be left at that. I am pretty pissed over this. I will probably buy my motorcycles elsewhere from now on.

No, I am not joking. I am very glad that you do not get offended by what people say (unless they are threadjacking ;D) and normally I do not. This was just not something that I expected from a motorcycle dealership, and I feel that it was not appropriate. I have not said anything to the people of this forum who have said merry christmas, happy holidays, ect. This is a social forum, and I expect people to say what they feel. There is a difference when it comes from a place where I spend my money. I do not have a personal relationship with the business. I am a customer and do not care about their beliefs. They need to keep it to themselves.

Well hopefully AMS will reply to your email and smooth this over and make you feel better. I doubt they intentially set out to offend anyone. It was a nice gesture sending out cards and emails to people.
Sorry if my post offended you as well.

You have not offended me a bit. [beer]

swanny offending people is...well,
not possible. but it
was weird getting that email. i'm a non-believer myself...it just threw me off a bit to get something like that from AMS...i just figured we would get the standard... "the holidays are here!! buy our stuff!!!!" not philosophy 101. or whatever you want to call that.
OK I don't agree with Zack and Mckraut but the Catholic side of me loves them both. I know, it's a continuous penance and guilt thing. There's nothing I can do about it they beat it into me when I was a little kid and my therapist says its a Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome thing.
So can we go back to my domination of the board and impending 1000 posts please. I'm afraid it really is about me. Sorry [bang] there is that Catholic thing again. D*mm, Oops ;D

Probably not the best place for a religious debate. The comments were about the e-mail and the card.
Not to mention that the gifts/days off argument is the most over used. Ever.

Let's keep it PC
From Wiki-
There has historically been opposition to the custom of the Christmas tree because of its pagan origins. Thus, Oliver Cromwell preached against "the heathen traditions" of Christmas carols and decorated trees. As pastor Henry Schwan of Cleveland, Ohio, decorated in 1851 what was likely the first Christmas tree in an American church, his parishioners condemned the idea as a pagan practice.

The aforementioned WeeWeeChu was just an innocent holiday-spirited greeting of the season is all. I certainly did not intend, nor ever did the thought ever cross my mind to infer any disrespect to anyones choices of personal conviction. You here it?...here the growl of the Chihuahuas?

Agreed. But this is not a religious debate, rather a comment an a unique marketing strategy that I dislike. You can see with my post to giannis that I have attempted to stay on the right side of the rules. I would be thrilled to discuss this ( or any of my apparently worthless posts) over PMs or on the coastal ducati forum.
Thank God this is a motorcycle forum. (and I'm agnostic) [laugh]
