Win-A-Wing Sweepstakes Goldwing Goes to Florida
January 24, 2008 | No Comments | Uncategorized
We have a winner! Congratulations Richard Califano of Saint Cloud, Florida. Richard is now the proud owner of a dark red 2008 Honda Goldwing GL1800. Richard’s winning entry was obtained on September 4, 2007, when he placed an order for five of our Emgo oil filters. It seems he and some of his friends were getting their bikes in top shape for the Florida winter riding season. Little did he know that that one order would put a brand new GL1800 Goldwing in his garage. I hope he saved one of those filters for his first oil change.
I called Richard in the morning and caught him out to breakfast with a bunch of his friends. On learning of his great luck Richard eloquently replied “you’re kidding”, followed by “you’re kidding”, and then “you’re kidding”, and, well, you get the picture. After recovering somewhat from the shock of the news, Richard announced to his friends “I just won a Goldwing!”. After that things just got loud with laughter and congratulations all around. It sounded like great fun.
Richard tells me that he is originally from Cleveland. He lived in New York, Virginia, Arkansas, and California, before settling down in Saint Cloud, Florida thirty Five years ago. He is married with six children and nine grandchildren. Richard is a member of the GWRRA, Honda Riders Club, and a local group calling themselves the Osceola Misfits. Richard and his group try to ride evey weekend and attend many GWRRA functions, conventions, and rallies. It sounds like our 2007 Win-A Wing bike is going to see plenty of action.
I will be going to Florida in early February to visit with Richard and his friends. Richard has promissed to introduce me to some good ole southern bar-b-que and some southern hospitality. I promise to take lots of pictures and i will post them here on my return.
Congratulations again to Richard. To the rest of you, the dream of parking a new Goldwing in your garage is still alive. Chrome World’s 2008 Win-A-Wing Sweepstakes has begun. Like the previous sweepstakes, every order you place with Chrome World earns you another entry in the sweepstakes. Maybe this time next year I will be writing this blog about you. It can happen. Just ask Richard.
