Paducah, Kentucky, a sleepy town with a population of just over 27,000 residents, is exactly the kind of place where you'd expect to find a dealership like FDR Honda. According to Sales Manager Mark Holmes, FDR prides itself on retaining its small-town focus. The goal at FDR Honda is to become a good neighbor to the riders in the area, and by all indications they're doing a great job.
For example, there's a long-standing tradition of holding Sunday morning rides all through the spring and summer months, and these informal excursions are always open to bikes of all makes and styles. No sales hype; just motorcyclists getting together for a good time.
And getting in a great ride doesn't take much work; Paducah is within easy reach of hundreds of miles of picture-perfect motorcycling roads. Want proof?
Located at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers, Paducah is mere minutes away from the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, 170,000 acres of rolling hills and oak forests. As its name implies, this delightful finger of land rests between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. Street riders can wend their way down the peninsula along The Trace, the main road that spans the area from north to south, viewing points of natural and historic interest along the way.
What's more, off-road enthusiasts can take advantage of the 2350-acre Turkey Bay Off-Highway Vehicle Area in the Land Between the Lakes. Whether it’s on-road or off-road, there's plenty of great riding around Paducah!
The fact that Paducah is a small town doesn't mean that the people at FDR Honda are content to sit still. The dealership has been active in helping to coordinate local bike shows, and a number of their customers have been bitten by the customizing bug, a malady that the good people at FDR are helping them to cure!
Beautiful weather, twisty roads bordered by lush greenery, riding friends old and new, plus a big barbecue to top things off. The good people at FDR figure they've opened the first dealership in heaven; anybody want to disagree?
