May 2, 2008

Spring is here! If you live in the north then it's time to dig your bike out of the garage and start planning your summer rides.
If you are lucky enough to live in the south, then you've been riding around enjoying the mild winter weather, but now the humidity is creeping back so it's time to plan that trip north to escape the heat.

PLANNING: I have added some great new scenic touring destinations to the articles section, check them out under rides & tours. You will find information on the Cherohala Skyway in North Carolina, Skyline Drive in Virginia, and the Black Canyon in Colorado. I have added to the books in our planning section, so give them a look and start planning your summer rides.
I have been busy adding new campgrounds to the motorcycle camping section too. If you know of a great campground that is motorcycle friendly please e-mail me and I will add it to the list. I need the name of the campground,the state or provence it is in, an approximate location, and the amenties it provides. If it is a private campground and has a website please include this also.
Speaking of camping, it's time to make a reservation for Sturgis if you haven't done so already. I have a lot of campgrounds listed for you, so check it out and find a place to stay. Go to the links page, scroll down to motorcycle friendly campgrounds and look at South Dakota.

PRODUCTS: I'm pleased to be able to offer the Traction Control Braking Device. I feel it is an important safety addition for your bike. It keeps your wheel from locking up in a panic stop, it's especially great for new riders and people who travel through high traffic areas. Check it out and consider adding one to your bike before your next tour. Another new product I just added is the Kruzer Kaddy. This is a wonderful,detachable cup holder with an insulated lining to hold your beverage while you ride. It is also great for holding your cell phone, ipod, sunglasses or other small items. I have new toolbags, raingear and leather jackets, so give them a look too. I also have a new affiliation with Diamond Back Jewelry. They have beautiful, heavy, solid gold and silver biker jewelry -eagles, iron crosses, v-twin engines, cruisers, and more. Click on their logo at the bottom of the home page to check them out.

SALES: The sales item of the month is the Kruzer Kaddy
