June 1, 2008

With the passing of Memorial Weekend, we are now officially
headed into the summer riding season. With the price of gas
soaring, a motorcycle camping vacation can be a great way
to see the country and save a little money. We have some
great resources to help you plan out a great vacation. Read
our articles on motorcycle camping,and scenic locations.
Check out our list of motorcycle friendly campgrounds in
the links section. Shop the massive selection of books on
scenic travel in our planning area and pick-up some needed
items in our camping section. After your great trip, send
us an e-mail and tell us about it. We will write up an
article to share with others.

Lets not forget Fathers Day on June 15th. We have lots of
great items for dad. How about a new tool bag, vest or a
cup holder. He'll be happy with some new toys for his bike.

PLANNING:
If you are lucky enough to be planning a trip to Hawaii,
check out the article on the Hana Highway in Maui. My
brother & sister in-law rented a bike on Maui last year and
experienced this ride, along with some others on Maui. It
is one of the top scenic roads in the world.
If you are staying in the states this summer, check out our
article on Arkansas Scenic 7. We rode this highway on our
tour last year and highly recommend it.

PRODUCTS:
We have added several new accessories.
We now offer the ECHO QUICK RELEASE,this is a fast and
convenient way to securely fasten your helmet chin strap.
It locks metal against metal for high strength and
durability.
We now have FAARKEN BIKER STIRRUPS these keep your pant
legs from flying up and flapping in the wind.
Check out the THROTTLE ROCKER, excellent for long rides,
one of the benefits is that it allows you to Operate the
throttle with an open and relaxed hand. Reduces hand
fatigue and cramping,Fits comfortably against the heel and
palm of the hand, making long rides more enjoyable.

SALES:
The sales item for the month of June is the lifetime lock.
Regularly 34.99, it is now 29.99 for the month of June.
It's a good idea to lock your bike at night when you are
