Beautiful Day For A Ride



Today was our monthly '3rd Sunday of the Month' ride which got pushed to the 4th Sunday due to weather! It was still on the cool side today with temps hovering around 48 - 50 and a slight cool breeze, but great sunshine. I used Tim's heated jacket liner today to give it a try and I'm getting me one of those. I didn't have to bulk up and I was toasty and comfortable the whole ride. What a great invention - heated gear!
We had 10 bikes with 9 of them being 2 up, so we had 19 riders. We left the store parking lot about 1:25pm and Bob L. led the ride taking us north of town taking country roads to Fair Grove, where we stopped at the Mill for a group shot.



Once we left Fair Grove we headed down Hwy 125 to Sunshine and headed back into town for some food and fun at Dairy Queen. I tried to do a video with my regular camera. Impossible with the wind and the bumps in the road. Should have taken the GoPro! It was a great day for a ride and the crowd is always fun. Thanks Bob for leading a wonderful ride.


Oh, and if you do go on a ride with us, fill up your gas tank first as our rides are longer than 10 miles. You know who you are!!

Shopping Spree

Sharon and I just got back from the Dealer Expo in Indianapolis, which is where we go every year to see what is new in Accessories and Apparel for the motorcycle industry. We walked the booths scoping out products until we thought we would drop. Oh wait, I guess that's where the saying 'Shop Til You Drop' comes from!!!



As you can see Celebrities were everywhere!



We saw some great new helmet designs and of course we ordered them! We also ordered a couple of new helmet lines that we have not had before or for a long time. We ordered some new apparel as well as bringing in what we need to ride in the spring, rain gear!





Memphis Shades has a new batwing faring out for the Victory that looks pretty cool and Cobra has a new 2 into 1 exhaust for the Victory that's great looking!




Big Dog is bringing back the Chopper for 2010 with some great changes. Keep an eye out for an email when one arrives on our showroom floor.

We're always glad when the show comes around as it means winter is almost over and new merchandise will begin showing up before the end of February getting us all excited for another riding season! Watch you emails as we'll let you know when the new stuff starts to arrive.

More Snow - You Must Be Kidding

As I type this, the east coast is being blasted with a snow storm and it looks like we are in for some more snow starting Sunday night and not ending until Tuesday morning. As I have said before, I now know I did not move far enough south when we relocated here from Colorado. I have seen enough snow for my lifetime, I'm pretty sure! I now understand the 'snowbird' theory!

Everyday a 'regular' customer comes in looking as sad as a hound dog because the weather just won't cooperate on days off to allow for riding. If you have looked on our webpage or on our Facebook page, you have seen Tim's video riding in the snow last weekend. We are all desperate to ride!!

We've got some great sales going on right now, so stop in and check them out and if nothing else, just stop by to say 'hi'. Mark you calendars for our monthly ride on Sunday the 21st. If the weather cooperates, which means it can be cold but no precipitation, we'll do our Sweetheart Ice Cream Ride. Watch the Events calendar on our website and on Facebook or sign up for email for more details as we get closer to that date.

Winter, Winter Go Away!!!!
