You never know who might pull into the Mitten’s parking lot! 🤠

Earlier today, Bradlee Miller, professional ba****ck rider and NFR contestant pulled into our parking lot to catch a little rest during his travels. We welcomed him with some Mitten’s goodies and enjoyed visiting with him for a bit.

A little later, he came back with an incredible surprise- a signed rigging!

We’re honored to have a piece of rodeo history and even more grateful for the opportunity to meet this gentleman.

Safe travels, and good luck on the circuit. We can’t wait to see you on your way back through!

🇺🇸Riding for Derek 🇺🇸

This ride was about more than motorcycles and miles. It was about honoring a friend, coworker, and family member of the Mitten’s team that left us far too soon.

Derek Glassman had a passion for Harley-Davidsons, a contagious smile, and a heart that made a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. Seeing his fellow riders come together for a poker run fundraiser in support of his family was a powerful reminder of the brotherhood and community, he loved so much. 💜

We were humbled to have Derek’s Bulk Oil truck lead the procession, carrying his memory down the road, one mile at a time. As the roar of the motorcycles followed behind, it was impossible not to think about the lives Derek touched and the legacy he leaves behind.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, organized, and showed up to support Derek’s family. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

Derek may no longer be riding beside us, but he will always be riding in our hearts. 🫶🏻

Gone too soon. Never forgotten.
