November?

How did it get to November 1st already? Winter is not my favorite season so I will hope for a mild winter so that we can ride most weekends!

Wounded Warriors

Thanks to everyone who came to our Wounded Warriors Auction yesterday. We raised over $1,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project!!! It's through your generosity that this was possible.

Cold Sunday Ride

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Strafford Relay for Life ride yesterday. The weather was cold and blustery, felt more like February than May, but a few showed up anyway. Everyone had to dig their winter riding gear out!

It looks like May is going to continue to behave like March, but better riding weather will surely be here soon.

Is It Spring or Still Winter?

Last weekend we were close to 90 during the day, but the evenings were wonderfully pleasant to be outside. This weekend we might make it to 60 and it's rainy, breezy and cold. Unfortunately there are about 8 motorcycle events today. I hope everyone just grabs their rain gear and shows up to support all of the good causes.

I've been told to hang in there, summer will be here soon!

Big Dog Motorcycles, LLC Is No More

Well, it's official. Big Dog Motorcycles, LLC is no more. I don't ususally use my blog to talk about too serious of an issue, but I am angry about how this was handled. Big Dog Dealers and Big Dog customers were left hanging this week because Big Dog couldn't man up and tell the truth. They blatantly lied to me earlier in the week insisting they were still in business and nothing was out of the ordinary. The statements they made regarding calling all of their dealer network to let them know what was going on is not true. I can understand trying to protect your business interest, but my goal was to keep my current Big Dog owners informed. I always believe honesty is the best policy. Apparently Sheldon is opening a new business called BDM Performance Parts.

A Great Kick-Off To The Riding Season

Today was our annual Spring Open House. If you missed it, you missed a great event. We had so many bikes in the parking lot that you could not get in or get out. Thanks to my vendor reps for taking time on their Saturday to give some great seminars, which were well attended. And a big Thank You to our local Victory Owners Group for managing the test rides for us today. We could not have done it without you. If today was any indication, it will be a great riding season this year. It was great to see so many on their bikes again. We will have pictures on our website and on Facebook within the next few days. Oh, and the lady who walked out the front door with a Bad to the Bone Skid Lid, I saw you!

Winter, Winter Go Away

Are you as tired of winter as I am? I mean, really, can't it just go away now? We all need to be able to get out and ride and not freeze to death! Don't forget about our Spring Open House this coming weekend on Saturday, April 2nd. You won't want to miss it. We have vendor seminars scheduled where you might learn something and you get a coupon for an additional 25% off when you attend the seminar. I think the Bike Performance Options seminar sounds great. Jon Olson of Drag Specialties is giving that seminar and he is formally with S&S, so I think he knows his stuff. This will be your chance to get all of your quesitons answered on how to get your bike to perform better. Check out additional planned activities on our Events page. The weather is supposed to finally be nice, so come down and help us kick off the riding season!
