My FXDXT first attended this Port Dover event in
2001. It became somewhat of a celebrity by having its picture published
in various newspapers, as well as appearing on many televised newscasts.
I even spotted it in this year's official PD13 web site. So as
June 13th approached, my bike convinced me to go
and experience this extraordinary Canadian rally for myself. You see, back then the purple T-Sport was still a demo bike from Ottawa HD, and its temporary caretaker was the service manager, John. He had chosen that memorable Friday in July to share "the happiest day of his life" with the throngs of rally-going bikers. The bike was decorated with white flowers and trailed empty 20w-50 cans as the newlywed couple rode out to cheers and clicking cameras down Main Street.
