Have You Heard About Ride Free?

For all you sportster owners interested in trading up to a big twin, this deal is for you!

In this tight time, Harley Davidson has created the “Ride Free” program for Sportster owners. Basically, its a guarantee on the trade-in value of your H-D Sportster.  From December 26th till March 31st, current owners of ’07, ’08, and ’09 883 or 1200 Sportsters can receive full MSRP on their original bike when they trade-in for any of the bikes in the Big Twin family.  Similarly, new owners purchasing a Sportster in the same timeframe will have an opportunity to trade-in for full MSRP at any point within a year’s time.   Essentially, participating customers will have a year to “ride free.”

All of the details about Ride Free are available on http://www.h-d.com/ridefree.

If nothing else, check out the video…the soundtrack is cool and for us guys not riding (it’s warmed up to -8 today), it’s a nice reminder of whats coming in a few months.

Seasons Greetings To You All!

Adding Some “Bling”

hogbiker bling Now that it’s winter and I’m slowing down to a dead run with my hair on fire I figure it’s time to add some much needed “bling” to the website.

Having the site reviewed, comments are that there needs to be more…pictures, etc. in the articles, and so I’m going to spend some time over the next few weeks adding some enhancements.

Hope you like it!

Happy Thanksgiving

R2_20A3_Small.jpg Just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers…both my loyal regulars and you new ones as well! Here’s hoping that you have a wonderful day with your friends and family.

I can’t even begin to list the things I have in my life to be thankful for but my family, friends, riding, and good health come immediately to mind.

I know that sometimes life throws us curves and that things may not always seem fair, but in the end remember that God (Jehovah, Allah, Yahweh, etc.) has blessed all of us with so much and I encourage you to reflect on those blessings today.

For those able to ride, ride a mile for me today as I stare at the 4+ inches of snow.

The XR1200 Comes To The US…WOO HOO!

The XR 1200 in action! Inspired by the legendary XR750, the XR1200 is the newest member of the Sportster family and finally comes to the U.S. following its Europe-only release back in April.

The XR750 was the most dominating American dirt track racing motorcycle of all-time, earning the Number One plate in an unprecedented 26 AMA flat track seasons that set new standards for dirt track racing success over the last 30 years. The XR1200 features technical innovation to provide potent street performance and handling. In fact, Harley-Davidson dirt track racing legends Scott Parker and Rich King participated in the XR1200 development, along with European GP racing champion Adrien Morillas.

The 1200cc Evolution V-Twin cranks out 90 hp with high torque. Rubber mounted to a new frame with a cast aluminum swingarm, the engine delivers exhilarating performance and responsive handling with less vibration. A unique upswept, high-volume 2-1-2 straight shot exhaust system includes dual mufflers and is finished in satin chrome.

Thought It’s “Winter” In D.C. I’d Be Riding!

Air Force Memorial                           So I’m back in D.C. again this week and even though it’s “winter” in D.C. (a couple of minutes of really light flurries) I did see a couple of troopers who didn’t care (or maybe it’s determination against using the metro) and were riding their bikes in town.

There were a BUNCH of scooter riders, all bundled up and braving D.C. traffic (which I think is more dangerous than the weather) which I admired as they bobbed and weaved in traffic.

So here is the Alaskan Guy in just a shirt and tolerating the hot buildings where the heat is turned up (it is winter here in D.C.) thinking that it would be so cool to have my Road King to ride around in.

Of course, since I had a rental car this time I know it’s a fantasy as driving in this town is about as scary as it gets…especially in Georgetown!
