I've been pondering this blog since the first day of this new year. What to say, what to say!!! When all that has been on my mind is inventory, end of year file cabinet cleaning and closing the accounting books - and SNOW!!!
If you missed it we did our 2nd Annual New Year's Day Ride and it was definately a Polar Bear Ride this year. We met at the store at 10AM and I believe the temperature was hovering around 16 degrees. We had 10 bikes leave from the store heading 52 miles up 13 to Collins for lunch at Smith's Restaurant. We picked up Wes along the way, making it 11 bikes. Only one bike was 2 up (you go Carol). We had 2 trucks with 8 people so we had 20 folks for lunch that day. I am proud to say I was a truck passenger because even with a hot flash, it was just too cold for me! After we all warmed up and filled up, we reluctantly headed back south in temperatures that were still hovering around 30 degrees. As we got closer to Springfield, I think it might have got to 34. It was a great lunch with great food and great company. Check the website for pictures and Wes's video.
Last Saturday, the 9th, we had chili for the local VMC (Victory Motorcycle Club) chapter the, Route 66 Victory Riders. Since it had been below 10 degrees all week and the streets continued to pile up with snow, everyone was stir crazy and ready for some socialization. If you own a Victory, it is a great group to ride with. Ask me about it.
This coming weekend, the 15th through the 17th, we'll be at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in the EPlex for the Springfield Boat, RV and Motorcycle Sale. We have some great show prices on our motorcycles. I have $1 off coupons if you want to use one.
Slowly but surely the daylight hours will get longer and the temperatures will get warmer and riding season will be here once again!
I want to thank everyone who came out the the Motorcycle Show last weekend at the fairgrounds and helped support us. We felt it was our best show that we have ever done and we could not have done it without your help.
