The Saddlemen crew continues to make its rounds heading into late May and June. Between dealer open houses, special bike shows and a grand opening, our guys on the road will be bouncing around mainly through the South and Midwest over the next several weeks.

These open houses and other events provide a great opportunity to meet with the dealers that carry our products, and also gives us a chance to talk directly to our customers as they browse through huge parking lot sales and celebrate everything from grand openings to anniversaries. There’s no better way to learn about our products than by holding them in your hands and talking to our guys about everything from materials and construction to personal experiences on road trips.

Here’s where you can find Saddlemen in May and June:
