Ride To Eat, Eat To Ride Food Truck Saturdays At Cox’s Harley-Davidson

By: Lincoln Infield

unny Saturdays are

prime riding days and Cox’s Harley-Davidson in Asheboro, NC should be on the list of places to stop in. Cox’s HarleyDavidson, established in 1961, has a great selection of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, Genuine Parts, MotorClothes and beer on tap every day! Really, stopping by the Harley shop is a regular routine. Recently, they have been hosting food trucks in the parking lot as well. I first heard of the food trucks from the guys in the service department, which is always a good place for solid information. I figured I’d need to check it out for myself to confirm, so on a sunny Saturday I added Cox’s Harley-Davidson as my lunch stop!

I love riding out to Cox’s, there are a dozen back road ways to get there, on this particular journey, I stuck to Hwy 64 from

Thomasville. There are a few twists and turns to get to the highway and I enjoyed every minute of it. The parking lot at Cox’s was lined with bikes and folks hangin’ out. The Riding

Academy was in session on the riding course where the smart beginners get a good start to their riding adventure. There was also the smell of some delicious BBQ in the air. The bright red food trailer of Smokehouse Bistro was on the riding course side of the parking lot parallel to the dealership. I was already hungry and the smell of food in the air made it where the Bistro was my first stop. They had 16 different choices on the menu, but I didn’t make it past the first offering. BBQ sauce, Bacon, Brisket & cheese on a brioche bun. Yep, say no more, take my money, tell me when it’s ready. I grabbed a seat at an umbrella table on the Cox’s Harley-Davidson Terrace that was built in memory of Cox’s H-D Founder Recil Cox and one of his sons “Poochie” Cox. There is only a handful of tables on the terrace, but they were full of folks eating, talking and enjoying the beautiful afternoon. I scarfed down that sandwich and enjoyed every bite.

I made my way inside to put out some more Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazines and have a look around. They were running some discounts on MotorClothes and I picked up a new chain for my motorcycle keys, I had been looking for a while and I couldn’t resist the deal! It was a great Saturday stop, and I was ready to roll out. I was informed that there is also a Taco Truck that comes by on Saturdays. Sounds like I will have to make my way back to and check that out! It’s well worth the ride to visit Cox’s Harley-Davidson in Asheboro and as an added bonus, the Saturday food truck was kickin!
