Some new pics

Time machine - I had one of thiese back in the early 1990s - which was destroyed when a rouge dog decided to run out in front of me. Its pretty cool , all orignal except the winshield and bolts .
Rear view - Rember when a 130 rear tire was wide !


The Guzzi ! Its a 1996 Sport 1100 with 2500 miles on it ! Ive only put a handful of miles on it as of yet, yet !

The new bike- Im sure to loose my license on this bike !


First goodie installed - Swedish perfection !

New pics

I didnt crash !

I just compleated my first weekend racing with SEMRA - www.semra.org - and man, what a fun time ! I would have never imagined that racing around on my little 125 could be some much fun ! The weekend started out with some great weather - the morning session was great, dry track with tons of traction, but then after lunch the rains came. It didnt stop the racing though ! We are men, not like those Nascar pansies - There were a few incidents during the rain, the good news only one person was hurt enough to need transport to the hospital, better news is that he wasnt hurt extremly bad - " tis meerly a flesh wound " - All in all, it was a great weekdn and Im looking forward to the next race !

IN action !

This pretty much says it all ! This is our parking lot , just adjacent to the loading dock - Fun stuff !

Mini Road Racing ?

Yep, its mini bike road racing time ! This sunday - tomorrow ! - I and many other folks will be doing some racing on the pLnataion go-kart track @ the ever lovely facilities @ V.I.R. .
SO, whats in store ? I dont know, other than the most fun Ive ever had on 2 wheels - I rode my bike with the first time with the road tires this past thursday , and man, what a blast ! Matt and I were out and draggin stuff aournd our building , much to the amazment to the folks in the laundromat next door. So, if your in the V.I.R. area, come and check it out !

Big Slacker -

So its been like over 2 mnths since my last post - Im sure eveyone has given up , but, Ill do better.
So how have things been in Burlington you ask? BUSY ! Thanks to all of our customers and new friends for hanging int with us . Its all very promising, we are continuing to expand and grow and add inventory -as well as fix the shop up by adding displays and other cool stuff. If you havent been in lately, you need to check out Vulcan Blvd. - A.K.A. - cruiser land. A local artist Skee - www.skeeart.com - did us a sweet street secene mural, that along with some other cool touches have really woken up our cruiser corner.
So what else is going on ? We have gotten a bike night going with the best Mexican place here in Burlington , Wholly Guacamole - every Tuesday night we meet at the shop , take a short ride through the country and wind up @ the resturant at about 8 to watch Two Wheel Tuedsay on thier big screen. If your ever in the area its a good time on tuesday night.
We recently attended a NESBA trackday @ Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw SC. and a good time was had by all- well except Matt who had tire issues ( wink,wink). We were joined by Keven ( our sales dude ), Brett and John ( great regular customers - even if Brett rides a RC51 )as well as Amy and myself. As the day went on I came to a couple of things - 1. Hot weather and humidity are not for me and 2. Anyone who can ride a ZX10r to its fullest potential is a God. Thats bike is simply awseome ! Crazy ammounts of speed everywhere with more to spare - I never got out of 4th gear the whole day ! Its a awesome bike ! It really makes mt appericate the skills of the Hayden boys all the more .
So, other than that not alot else has changed - Just busy times. Ill post some pics of the wall and I will do a better job of keeping the posts up - Thaks for checking in and back !

Bike Week !!!

So its friday, March 10th - so what you may ask ? Its bike week thats what !! The single event that gets me through the long, cold , grey winter days - just knowing that its coming gets me throught January and Febuarys duldrums - Its been a great couple of days and all I can say is YEAH !!!!

So why has it been great ? Well , the Superstock and Supersport races were simply awesome ! Superstock was won by Jamie Hacking - yeah, he rides for Yamaha, but, hes OK anyway ( he usedto ride for Suzuki, so hes OK ) . While Supersport was won by Roger Hayden ( on a ZX6RR ! ) while Hacking drafted past Tommy Hayden to sneak second and Tommy was pushed back to 3rd. Both were great races and if its any indication of things yet to come - its going to be a great season for racing fans !

Anothe great thing this week - getting to do some demo rides ! Yep , getting to ride brand new bike in anger at some-one elses expense, awesome ! I got to ride Kawasakis new ZX14, and all I can say is, WOW ! Busa guys, get ready - this bike is mental ! Its so smooth, its sneaky, At one point I looked down and was going well over the speed limit ! And handling , I didnt believe a big bike could flick into a corner like it did - All that and a stupid fast quater mile time ( I got the super fast acceleration head rush again ! ) . I cant wait to get one or two in - get your deposit on one NOW ! I also got to ride a Vulcan 2000, Ive gotten to ride some pretty quick HDs, with a ton of motor mods, big bore kits, ECM downloads, etc. and they can not even come close to matching the thrust this bike has - the torques is amazing ! And that was right after getting off of the ZX14 even - Yep, there are some real great bike out right now, heck , even the new Moto Guzzi Breva 1100 was a great ride . Granted, it was not in the same catagory as the Kawasakis I had just finished riding, but, it was fun anyway.

Tomorrow is the big race, Superbike and the 200 . So who am I hoping to win - Superbike, one of the Haydens of course- Formula Extreme is a hard call. I would like Danny Eslick to do well or ( forgive me ) I wouldlove to see one of the Buells do well - yep , I like the underdogs ! I just think its really cool that Mr. Buell was in the pits and actually wrenching on the rac bikes. How cool is that ?

More monday after we get home, be safe !

So Im a slacker ----

Yes, Its been a while since my last post, but hey , its been busy arouns here - -- So Whats been going so you ask ?

So hows the shop ? Its rocking right along, thanks for asking ! We are still continuing to meet more great folks everyday and thankfully some of these folks have chosen us as the place that they get their new ride from ! So thanks to everyone whos come in and checked us out - we do appericate it ! On that note, we are now a SGD dealer - So whats SDG ? SDG is a company that started out making hard core Moutian bike parts . A few years ago they started making some very cool pit bikes, and thats what Ive gotten. These bikes are so much fun, I bought one ! If you ride one and get off of it and your not smiling, theres something medically wrong with you ! Yes, they are that much fun !

And new stuff, we finally got the new Suzuki LT-r450 Quadracer as well as the awesome 2006 GSX-R600 ! Very cool stuff !

For those into newer stuff, we got our first Ninja 650r in yesterday - what a cool looking bike ! Yet another one Iwish someone would buy so I could take it for a spin !
