Any chance H-D will offer another trade-up deal in 2010? They had a program that gave you all of the money you paid for a Sportster towards the purchase of a big bke if you bought the big bike within a year. I got a intimidated by the size and weight of the big bike .. I had a check book in my pocket, but I couldn't pull the trigger. I just got my motorcycle license ... and I'd like to work my way up to a big bike ... I'd like to get a Sportster ... then after a year or less and getting some confidence ... I'd move on up to a big bike. I just don't want to take bath on the Sportster trade in.
Please let me know so I can start thinking about it seriously ...

Well, the 2010 models have arrived and excitement is in the air here at Black Widow Harley-Davidson! With 34 NEW models to choose from, it’s time to stop in and find out what the buzz is about! Now that I’m off my soap box, let’s talk about one of the things that set Black Widow Harley-Davidson apart from the other dealerships. We are a MSRP Dealership. What this means is that our prices on motorcycles are set by Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Not us. That is why you will always see a bright orange price tag on every motorcycle on our showroom floor. Have you ever wondered why you don’t see those price tags on bikes at other dealerships? That is because there is a great chance that they are a DSRP Dealership. A DSRP dealership sets their own prices – often times greater than the actual MSRP (and usually based on demand for the more popular models – the higher the demand, the higher the price.) I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve heard “Such and Such” Dealership gave me $2,500.00 off the price of the bike. You guys weren’t willing to work with me on the price. Well, I’m almost willing to bet that “Such and Such” Dealership marked the bike up $3,000.00, and then knocked $2,500.00 off the “Dealer Suggested Retail Price.” Thus, the dealership walked away with a cool $500.00 over MSRP. They come out smelling like a rose, and you feel like you got the deal of the century. Did you really? Let’s talk trade-ins. While Black Widow Harley-Davidson accounts for “bells and whistles,” we base our trade-in allowance on Kelly Blue Book. It’s a standard in the industry. We’ll show exactly what Kelly has to say about your ride. It’s all there in black and white. Again, Dealership “X” offered you more than we did for your trade-in. You took your business elsewhere. Did they have those MSRP tags on their bikes in the showroom? Chances are they gave you more on your trade, and then charged you over MSRP on your bike. You feel like you got “top dollar” for your trade. Did you really? The two examples above are what I like to call “smoke and mirrors.” They use their own little “magic” to create the illusion of you getting the best deal around. Having been a former “skirt in a concrete tower,” I’ve seen these tactics before. Actually, it won my company and me A LOT of customers, business and cases. (I used to be a corporate tax consultant in down town Chicago. Our attorneys used “smoke and mirrors” all of the time. I am NO stranger to the game! I used to play it all of the time! You can’t tell me any different.) All I’m trying to say is that here at Black Widow Harley-Davidson, you’ll get a fair deal with no strings and no BS. There’s definitely no “smoke and mirrors” here. Just read our testimonials page on our website! We can’t make this stuff up. It comes right from the mouths of our customers. Speaking of BS, let’s talk about ethics. Have you ever heard a bad word out of our mouths about any other dealership? I’m willing to bet that the answer is, “No.” That being said, you can learn a lot about the ethics of other dealerships just by walking in wearing a brown wig, sunglasses and no make-up. (Well, maybe in my case anyway.) After hearing that we are closing, we will steal your deposit, and you will never see your bike again; I feel that it’s time to speak up. At Black Widow Harley-Davidson, we have heard these stories time and time again from the mouths of our own customers. We have ALWAYS taken the high road and not said a word. After witnessing this slander first hand, I have to say that I’m pretty pissed off. This is not election year, and I’m sick of the “dealership politics!” You as the “voter” will have to decide who will win your loyalty. In a nutshell, if you’re looking to do honest business with an honest dealership, Black Widow Harley-Davidson is the place for you! If you’re looking for a magic show, go see Criss Angel. We don’t create illusions here. We just make your Harley dreams a reality – the honest way. Until next time…. Rockstar

Al Mile Marker 141
7/7/2009 4:35:49 PM
Well, after a friend ran out of gas at mile marker 94, Marion found a gas station just off Alligator Alley. We had been riding together to Key West and a storm separated us at Key Largo. We took route 41 and were refueling at the same gas station that Marion found. After getting a small gasoline container, I went with her back to get the gasoline to Armand. Did not want her to go alone as it was ten o'clock pm. We shot through the Sun Pass at 45 mph and ran east until mile marker 94 and then cut across the median when we saw Armand waiting patiently. What were the options for him other than to wait patiently? First time I ever ran the Sun Pass and and cut through the median!! Didn't know my Electric Glide could double as a 'dirt bike'. Anyway, rescue was complete and everyone safely home.
Had a great time that day.

July 1st and I’ve finally had a minute to catch my breath! It’s not easy being a Rockstar! I absolutely had to take a few minutes to tell you all about the “Grub Gourmet Adventures!” As you are all well aware, every Friday evening the Grub Gourmets head out on a new adventure. The main focus of these adventures is…. Um, well it’s FOOD. That aside, there’s more to these little excursions than just food. If you watch our email blasts, you’ll notice that there’s always a little extra twist to our rides. We like to think that we are taking a break from the every day norm of taking a ride, getting something to eat and then heading home. We like to think of ourselves as a group of extremists. Speaking of extreme, I’d like to bring up the subject of our June 19th dinner run. It actually started at 6AM when eight of us crazy S.O.B’s hit the road. Destination: Key West. The day started out beautiful with all in attendance in high spirits. With full tanks of gas, we embarked on our journey. At exit 141, we grabbed Al (or rather sped by Al – shoulda stayed on the bike, dude! You had a lot of catching up to do!) bringing the “crazy” head count up to nine.
We decided to take the scenic route – via US 41. You would not believe the animals we saw! Too bad none of them were alive. We decided to take a survey at the next stop. The dead alligator in the middle of the road seemed to win everyone’s favor. We did also happen across a hawk with a wriggling fish in his talons flying over head. You don’t see that every day! By this point, my bum was getting pretty sore. I started inventing new positions to ride my bike. (I found out that I like the feel of a crotch rocket, now. I’ll be checking out those Buells!) At this point, the weather is beautiful and we’re all still in high spirits.
Fast forward to 15 miles north of Key West… Here come the boom clouds. We all decide to pull over to gear up for the rain. Out of the bags of my friends comes the rain gear of all sorts… Entry Level to High End. Myself, I break out my reflective rain jacket and make sure that my bandanna is in place. The stop to gear up took about 15 minutes. The rain lasted about 5. As a Key West Veteran, I got to lead the pack to Duval Street. Do you have any idea how hard it was not to stop at The Bull, Sloppy Joe’s, or Fat Tuesdays???? This was the first time I had ever been on Duval Street without stopping at my favorite watering holes, but I digress. A right on Duval and a Right on Front Street at Mallory Square and our restaurant was in site. Time to eat! We had a nice relaxing meal at Two Friends Patio Bar. We called ahead the day before so they were expecting us. After a great meal, and a good long stretch, it was time to hit the road.
We made great time on US 1 headed north. Once we made it to the top of the Keys, it was time to fuel up and take a good, long stretch. This is where the adventure began! Looking north, the sky is black. Armand breaks out the cell phone to track the storm. (Just a small cell.) Having no windshield or helmet (I’m the only one with neither), I suggest we sit it out and wait. Hollenbeck assures me that if we just ride through it, it will be like elapsed time… over quicker than if we were just to sit and wait it out. I say, “OK.” After all, I’m no sissy! Off we go! I’m actually looking forward to the rain as I’m pretty dehydrated at this point and was wishing that I had one of those hydration vests that Armand was packing. (He says that it's worth every penny!) It’s like air conditioning for the body.
And here comes the rain! We got blasted the second we turned onto US 1. The rain has soaked the bandanna over my face and I can’t breathe or see 2 feet in front of me! I’m just looking for the lines in the road, the lights overhead, and Armand’s tail lights. No lane changes, here! We get to a stop light and seem to be missing 7 bikes. (They pulled over to wait the storm out.) Armand leans over and asks where every one went. My reply was, “I don’t know. All I know is that I can’t see s***!” His reply was to watch the lines and lights…. Well duh! How do you think I made it this far? (My only thoughts were. “Oh my God, I am heartly sorry for having offended Thee. And I detest all of my sins…..”) The rain turned out to possibly save my life. What I didn’t know is that I had a mighty fever brewing. I was so thirsty that I was drinking the rain water and thanking God that it was there. We made it through the rain (elapsed time as noted my Mr. Hollenbeck) and bright skies were shining upon us again (that is until Crocodile Lake).
After a few more twists and turns and a couple more showers, we are out of the woods, and closing in on I-75. I signal to Armand that I need fuel. We’re still wondering what happened to the rest of the pack. We discussed that no news is good news. If there was a problem, we would have gotten a call (learned that in Biker 101). Armand asks how is it that I need fuel. We only went 78 miles. I explained that I have run out of gas on the Alley before and it’s not fun. Armand figures that he’d fuel up as well. For some reason, his pay at the pump card was not being very friendly. Rather than go inside, he figures he’d just get gas at the end of the alley. At this point, it’s about 7:30 or 8:00 in the evening. We are definitely starting to lose our high spirits. Now the attitude is, “Let’s just get home.”
This is not the first time that Armand and I have ridden together. Neither one of us are afraid of speed. Closing in on the Alley, a decision is made to “put the hammer down.” After the toll booth, it’s balls to the wall. Ninety Five miles per hour! We hook up with an Escalade doing the same speed. After all, he has to have a fuzz buster, right? Not so much! Johnny law is in the median! Our guess is that he was doing paperwork. Someone was looking out for us because Mr. Law didn’t even flinch. Whew! That was a close call! Did that hinder our progress? We think not! Meanwhile, Mr. “I have plenty of gas” is sucking up the fuel, but damn it we’re making great time!
At about mile marker 62, Armand is out of site. He was there a second ago, now he’s gone! I pull over to the right lane at 60 miles per hour. No sign of him. I’m thinking, “Just freakin’ super.” I move over to the emergency lane at 20 miles per hour. Here comes Armand bringing up the rear at full speed. My guess is that he needed to hit his reserve. He informs me that he needs fuel. Really? I signal back that we’ve got about 30 miles to go. We had to back off on the speed a bit because fuel conservation has become the order of the day by this point. And so it happens….. mile marker 94…. put put put…. Crap! Someone’s out of gas. Guess who it is???? I can tell you who it wasn’t….me! So off I go solo to find the nearest gas station, leaving my friend on the side of the Alley where his own adventure begins.
Five minutes later, I’m pulling into the nearest gas station, and guess who I see???? Why, the rest of the Grub Gourmets of course! Where is Armand? Funny story….. After purchasing a 1 gallon gas can loaded with fuel, Al and I start on our rescue mission. My only thought is that that $100.00 fine sign is not true at the Sun Pass lane. Who’s got time to pay the $2.50 when our buddy needs us? After blowing the toll, and cutting across the median, we find Armand and the rescue mission is complete.
Of course, we’ve got some great stories to share once we get back to the gas station. Apparently, strange things are brewing on Alligator Alley after dark, Armand heard the sounds of a gator getting his prey. The prey was none too happy and put up quite a struggle against the gator. Meanwhile behind him, the sounds of the water were NOT calm and soothing. Something’s making quite a splash behind him. Not a warm and fuzzy feeling alone in the pitch black of night. Don’t worry. Armand’s still around to tell the tale.
Now it’s time to bid our farewells to the rest of the Grub Gourmets. Handshakes, Hugs, and High Fives are being passed around. Time for Hollenbeck and I get to get these guys (and gal) home. We didn’t even make it to the on ramp before we lost the crew, again! Keeping our speed to a respectable level, we hit the interstate and wait for our friends to catch up. Nothing! Soooooo…… the throttles get pushed just a little more. Then Mr. Red Convertible comes into the mix. (I just HATE people like this.) Picture 2 riders in the slow lane at 80 miles per hour. Mr. Red Convertible decides that he needs to pass. Okay. No problem. Once he passes, he slows down! Argh!!!! Doesn’t this guy know how many miles we’ve just put on???? We have no time or energy for this. So now it’s our turn to pass…. at a constant un-fluxed speed mind you. Pass is safe and perfect. We’re back in the slow lane – still at 80 miles per hour. Mr. Red Convertible can’t take it and passes again. And slows down, again! Time for Hollenbeck and I to pass. As we start our pass, Mr. Red Convertible decides that he needs to be in the left lane because a semi is coming up fast on the right. Just freakin’ super! Hollenbeck and I are blocked in to the left of the semi. Did I say super? The little light flash did nothing but make Mr. Red Convertible slow down. Now you all KNOW what I’m thinking. Since we try to make our writings a little family friendly, I won’t spell it out, but I really don’t think that I need to at this point.
We finally get around him and away from the semi. Time to take Mr. Red Convertible to school! I hit the throttle. The faster I went (in the left lane), the faster Mr. Red Convertible (in the right lane) went. He wouldn’t go any faster than 100 miles per hour. And even at 100 miles per hour, he only kept up with me for about a mile. “Love ya! See ya! Bye!” Now I’m solo, and I don’t care. Just take me home to my warm and dry bed. The fever is making me delirious at this point. I blasted all the way to the Kings Highway exit. The fever is full blast and every part of my body aches. I just need to get off the bike for a second. I also need to call my mommy. She’s worried sick about her little hellion of a daughter. Sixty seconds after my feet hit the pavement, here comes Armand scootin’ around the corner right past me. Where the heck did he come from????
Twelve Thirty AM Saturday morning, I’m finally home. I guzzle down a glass of grape juice and fade off into dream land knowing that I have officially hit “biker” status. Life is good. The fever only lasted 3 days, and now I have a story to share for the rest of my life.

Okay Guys! I haven’t blogged for a while because I have had NO TIME!!!!! Things are on fire here at Black Widow Harley-Davidson/Buell! Speaking of fire…. We’re only about a week and a half away from our 100 Days of Summer Extravaganza. (Saturday, May 23, 2009) This one is gonna be HOT!!!! For starters, we have an all day long Corn Hole (Bean Bag) Tournament planned. Of course, there will be Vendors, Food, and frosty cool beverages. Jamband will be in the house providing some hot tunes for you while you sit under the canopy (yes, we have shade this year). The misters should be in place by then and rumor has it that The Black Widow Babes will be misting the crowd as they pass through. Make sure that you check them out at the dunk tank! We’ve got a mechanical bull, Jalapeno Eating Contest, and our HIGHLIGHT EVENT is the White T-Shirt Water Balloon Toss! You have got to see this! Every one’s a winner!
If you missed it, check out the photos of the “No Boys Allowed” Poker Run on our myspace page (www.myspace.com/blackwidowhd). We’re still looking for those “missing jewels.” There were tons of cameras going that day. Please email your pictures to mjankowski@blackwidowh-d.com. We’ll get them posted as soon as you send them. 42 Women showed up for the ride. It was so nice to see the Chrome Divas and all of the lady Lost Souls in attendance. You ladies make my job worth it. Just make sure that you know that this will become an ANNUAL EVENT. Plan ahead and mark your calendars for the first Saturday of May, 2010. Same deal as this year. We gave away great prizes at each stop, and the winner of the poker hand was Sheila who walked away with $166.00 of easy won money. Thank you to all of the ladies for the emails and rave reviews. As soon as we update the administration portion of our website (www.blackwidowh-d.com), we will have those comments posted as well.
Since I started here in December, we’ve been having nothing but FUN here. We’ve implemented Our “Bird Finders Fee” Program, Our Community Involvement Program, Kickstands Up, Operation Back-Off, Dartboard Day, and The Grub Gourmets are stronger than ever! If you’re not checking out our MySpace Page and Website for updates, you need to! No point in missing out on all of the fun that I have here on a daily basis. We try to keep you informed of our weekly happenings and specials by bringing our Deal of the Week emails directly to your PC. If you want in, all you have to do is sign our Guest Book at www.blackwidowh-d.com.... And POOF! The news and deals will be coming your way.
When I first started here, I said that my favorite part of the job was the uniform. Well, I take that back. My favorite part is the sense of family that I feel every morning when I walk through the doors of Black Widow Harley-Davidson. And wanna know the best part? They treat the customers the SAME WAY. We know that you can’t please all of the people all of the time. That’s life, but it’s simply wonderful to walk through Motorclothes and see all of our friends – to offer a handshake (or a hug).
As you know, the topic of conversation on everyone’s tongue is how bad the economy is. That may be so, but it takes only a minute to stop by to say, “Hi.” While we love money just like the next guy and promise to take very good care of your money….. (LOL) That’s not what it’s about for us. It’s about Community, Friendship, and Family…. After all, we riders are our own breed. Our own culture…. Our own form of freedom and expression. A kind word costs nothing. Come on by and say, “Hi.” Will be waiting with smiles!!! Until next time……

i got one of those zumos, and the way it lets you multi task is unreal. you can listen to mp3s and when you get a phone call or driving directions, the music volume drops so you can pay attention. i dont even use the bikes gas guage, the zumo lets me know when gas is low. The mph read out is accurate, and I like the minutes to destination feature, so i can tell when im late... cheers,

Well Spider...Thanks for your question...All you have do is soak the crystal filled pouches for 10 minutes. During the ride the water is slowly released in the form of a gas. This evaporation creates a cooling effect against the body to keep you cool.. Kinda like air condition. :) I do have a new Jacket coming in (hopefully next week) that is awesome for this system.. Also available is a Hydration Vest that has the same concept that can be worn with any mesh jacket... Come Check them out....

I have not tried the Michelin tires but, I read where the "Pilot" series are the #1 distance tire and the #2 rain tire or visa versa.
That being said, I love the Pirelli tires that come through on Buells.
Those dual compound tires a road grabbing especially on rain soaked roads. My question to you is: "Does Perelli make a tie for my touring Harley?"

I Like wearing the perferated jacket and I know some come with armor but, letting the air come throuh on a hot dry ride would dehydrate a rider so, would these jackets come with hydration pouches and if they do, how exactly does it hydrate your skin?

Hey Black Widow, Great Store!! I road through there during bike week. I live out west near the 4 corners and we do not go anwhere without our hydration packs. As you can imagine it gets real hot and real dry out our way. We HAVE NO CHOICE but to cover up from that weather. With that said, those hydration packs make things alot cooler for us folk. I would think you floridans would be all over them too. Chow for now!!

May has been declared “Women Riders Month” by Harley-Davidson Motor Company, making May 1st International Female Ride Day. More women than ever are discovering the thrill of riding. May is the official month where women all over are encouraged to “fulfill their dreams.”
The US motorcycle industry has seen a dramatic increase in the number of women riders. More than ever, women have economic power and interest in the sport (or lifestyle) of motorcycling. Yet, for many, there are significant barriers to getting involved. A lack of self-confidence, intimidation, limited product knowledge and an absence of riding skills and riding mentors can be huge obstacles. There are also those who are known as the “Dream Stealers,” whose own personal perceptions may steal the dreams of a woman who wants to feel the wind in her hair.
Black Widow Harley-Davidson/Buell has made it their commitment to squash those “Dream Stealers,” by hosting their very first “No Boys Allowed” Poker Run scheduled for May 2nd, 2009. The focus of this run is to help other women (non-riders) come up with their own action plan to get them on the road to fulfilling their dream. Registration begins at Black Widow at 2pm. Women riders with experience are encouraged to bring other women non-riders as passengers. The ladies are set to ride out of the dealership at 3pm. At each stop along the way, there will be free games and drawings for various prizes. Stops will include Beaver’s Sports Pub, Calico Jacks and Wally’s Pour House.
To keep the ‘boys” included, they should plan on being at City Limits Grill, 1059 Tamiami Trail-Port Charlotte (located in front of Treasure Lanes Bowling Alley), at 5pm. There, they can purchase their poker hand for only $1.00. Jamband will be there providing live entertainment with a great variety of music to get the party started (bookings – 941-475-7665). The “girls” will be riding in at 6pm to continue in the fun. To keep the party going, there will also be free drawings and games for prizes.
Black Widow is celebrating the women rider in hopes that experienced women riders will “Share their Spark” with other women who need mentoring and encouragement in the field of riding. Many women seek the resources and support to help them along their journey toward becoming a motorcycle rider, and many current riders have a passion for riding and sharing that passion with others. Black Widow Harley-Davidson wants to help with the introductions by providing mentoring materials designed to inspire experienced as well as new and aspiring riders to form mentoring relationships.
“Our goal is to encourage other women, regardless of age, to experience the freedom, peace and strength that riders (of any gender) feel when they ride,” states Marion Jankowski (rider), Marketing/Event Coordinator for Black Widow Harley-Davidson/Buell. For questions and other information regarding this event, log onto www.blackwidowh-d.com. You may also call 941-883-8000 or email Marion at mjankowski@blackwidowh-d.com.

Hello Fellow Riders!!! I haven’t blogged in a while, so I wanted to take a moment to give you a heads up on what’s been happening….. A LOT! I want to start off by thanking every one of our customers (our family) for supporting our “Deal of the Week” campaign. It was a slow start, but most of you are starting to realize, “Hey! There’s Free Money in those Emails!!!” Not only are we sending weekly specials your way, but we’re keeping you Up to Date on what’s happening in our Dealership by bringing “The Spider Web,” our own publication, directly to your PC!
I want to start off by letting you in on a little secret…. Rockstar is the NEW VOICE of Black Widow Harley-Davidson/Buell! Catch me on Kix Country, 92.9 FM starting this Tuesday, February 10th. We’re promoting our 4th Anniversary Bash and Valentine’s Day Celebration right here at our Dealership on February 14th from 11AM til 3PM.
Speaking of which!!! OMG is this going to be a PARTY! The whole day is packed with activities & events. The Dirty Girls’ Mud Hunnys will be here helping with the festivities dressed as Sexy Cupids. Make sure to check them out! You can get FULL DETAILS by clicking on “Events” at www.BlackWidowH-D.com. There’s a FULL COLOR ad that will let you know what to expect. An itinerary of events is also posted in “The Spider Web,” available online or in-store.
Did you know that you can register to win a $100.00 Gift Card from our Dealership? Black Widow is bringing something NEW your way, and we need your help. March, 2009 will be the debut month of Black Widow’s own PUBLIC Calendar of Events. We’ll be bringing you up to speed on what’s going on in our immediate area (50 mile radius of our dealership). This is something that our area has not had in a while. While other publications have done their best to support this area, there are soooo many cool rides that we all have been missing out on due to lack of information. There will also be an area where the public can submit events that we have missed. As a family, we need to keep each other informed. There is one problem. We need a COOL NAME! Full Throttle has the “Cruisin’ Calendar.” Born to Ride has “Slick’s Scooter Schedule.” WE GOT NOTHIN!!!!! Submit your suggestion for a cool name in-store or online. If we like it and use it, YOU WIN!!! Simple, Right????
I also wanted to bring up another point of interest. Do you know where your donations go from Hot Dog & Hamburger Saturdays? I have always assumed that we just rolled the money into the cost of Hot Dogs & Hamburgers for the following week. NOT SO!!!! Armand and Irene just bought two Brand New Microscopes for the Animal Welfare League – Charlotte County…. To the tune of $1,200.00. That’s were your donations go – right back to the community. Sooo when you grab your Dog or Barker, keep in mind that the money you’re tossing (or not tossing in some cases) goes right back to the community and NOT in Black Widow’s pocket. Way to go, guys! You helped make it all possible.
That wraps it up for this time around. If you’re reading this blog on our website, & not on our MySpace, check out our MySpace!!! (www.MySpace.com/BlackWidowHD) I’ve got the green light to go “play Rockstar.” Who know where I’ll be clicking pics to post.
Until next time…..

Hey guys! Rockstar, here. A lot of you have been asking me where I have been since leaving the pages of Full Throttle. Well, here I am on the Biker’s Blog at Black Widow! I’ve been with my new Family at Black Widow for about a month. As always…. What a Ride! I’ve been brought in as the new marketing and event coordinator. I have to say that I am TRULY excited about my new position.
A lot of you have been asking, “Why the change?” Well, I’d have to say that set hours are a PLUS!!!! What’s my favorite part of the new position? I’d have to say, “THE UNIFORM!!!” Where else can you go to work and not have to rush home to gear up just so you can go out and play? Not many places that I’m aware of.
Speaking of gearing up, the Holidays are behind us now, and markdowns have been taken all over the store to make room for the new merchandise coming in. Come on in and check out the stock before it flies out of here. I know that I have taken FULL advantage of the sale. (Hey! Where’d my paycheck go?)
Rentals are here! No need to travel further than necessary to rent a 2009 Harley-Davidson Big Twin Motorcycle. Call us for rates. Stay tuned cuz scooter rentals will be here before you know it!
Have you signed our guest book? If not, you need to. There’s a new “Deal of the Week” every week. The only way to take advantage of these fabulous deals is to sign our guest book. I’ll be waiting….
February is upon us & so is our 4th Anniversary Bash. This one PROMISES to be a blast with Live music from The Stonewall Band. I don’t know if I’ll get in trouble, but I have to mention the tricycle races. Think you’re bad enough to hop on a trike & smoke your buddies???? Be sure to be here. The laugh factor alone will be worth it. Keep checking our website for exact dates and times.
Well, that wraps it up for this blog. Check out our MySpace page as well. I’ll be adding to it as I get more accustomed to my new surroundings. Until next Blog…..
Rockstar (P.S. They call me “Marion” here.)

bre; Not sure of model or paint shemes coming for Vespa. Their year run is different from Harley so, only time will tell. The Piaggio line we will also carry, features two front wheels that allows the rider to lean up to 40 degrees with the bike.

Heard there's going to be 9 model changes. Fact or fiction?
Which ones is a guess however, I feel confident we will see a trike!
We have Vespa and Piagio scooters coming!I suppose this could count towards change.
