Get out and ride
Looking at the email blast we just sent and one thing strikes me, we’ve been running an iron seat contest (who can ride the most miles in a month), win an easy $100 gift card and a chance for a $1000 gift card, and the same guy keeps winning. In the month of April Bryan DeAvilla rode 3934 miles…that’s 131 miles per day. He ain’t no commuter!! Did you know that the median average of miles ridden by new riders over an 18 month period is 6600 miles or 12 miles a day (based on nationwide survey respondents to a Harley-Davidson® survey given to people who have purchased a new HD® bike)? Laidlaw’s customers average 485 miles per month or 16 miles per day (data from the same HD purchase experience survey). Mr. DeAvilla is doing 8X that. It’s disturbing to know people who have … [Read More...]

April is check your helmet month!
April is “Check Your Helmet Month” and you need to be aware that anytime your helmet has been dropped or suffered an impact of any kind, it is no longer considered D.O.T approved and should be replaced. Also, if your helmet is three to five years in age, you should also start looking into purchasing a new one. The fibers in the helmet start to break apart over time and even though this is not apparent to the eye, this poses as a major safety risk. Get ready for this riding season and come check out a new helmet! Here are some tips to finding the perfect helmet. … [Read More...]
Form and Function-Wind Splitter Windshield
Recently I got the HD wind splitter windshield to replace the stock windshield on my touring bike. The 7” dark smoke fit easily and I thought looked perfect on the black bike. Rather than the plain simplicity of the stock one (nothing wrong with the minimalism look but all of us who ride work to create our own distinctiveness with our ride), this sweeping design and curves adds to the fairing and provides true functionality. The shape decreases noise and improves one’s ability to hear your tunes. With a little height in the center it helps with air deflection (and really does work despite its size). Also the size alleviates the common complication of whether the rider can see the road rather than split your view (like on most when you purchase a windshield you’re sitting straight and … [Read More...]
The 72
Just this past month Harley-Davidson released its newest throwback to the 70s with the 72. As the press release describes the bike, it’s a “Sportster on a trip back to the days when the cool kids rode a Sting-Ray and the big boys parked choppers in a row along the curb.” Coming in three colors (vivid black, big blue pearl, and big red flake), it has apes on top of a 1200cc engine, peanut fuel tank, white side wall tires surrounding chrome spoked wheels, and bobbed fenders for that retro look! Milwaukee is trying to capitalize on what’s still hot in California and priced at $10,500, the younger crowd is sure to find this within the budget of what they thought was out of reach to be a part of the elite Harley crowd. The monthly periodical “Quick Throttle” must have thought the … [Read More...]
