Boots!
We all know that having grippy, over the
ankle boots are a must when riding, right? The biggest problem
has been finding boots that look good - and feel good. Guess
what? We just got in a bunch of Milwaukee boots in new styles
- including a very cool cowboy style ladies boot in distressed
brown! Don't worry guys, we've got you covered in three new
styles - one especially perfect for sportbike riders. Not into
the boot look? We've got one that looks like a hightop tennis
shoe - but has the protection you want and need in a riding
boot. Come check em out!
George's Garage
Now that it costs me over $20 to
fill my tank I want to make sure I can do everything to
stretch my mileage.
The easiest and
fastest way is to maintain the air pressure in your tires!!
The pressure should average 36 in the front, and 40 in
the rear. Make sure you check the recommended pressure in your
owner's manual, and don't exceed the max pressure printed on
the sides of your tires.
If you're in doubt, and in
Indio, come on by. I'll check them and fill them at no charge
to you. Not only will you save on gas, but properly inflated
tires are SAFER for you.

Biker Bowling
(aka Bad Bowling
Bikers Anonymous – name courtesy of Monica!)
We're still
bowling every other Wednesday night (next one is on June 4th) at
7pm sharp. Meet our very unprofessional group at Fantasy
Lanes at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. George and I pay
for 2 lanes for 1 hour - you pay only for your shoes (balls
are free - as they should be!). If we go beyond an hour,
we all kick in to extend it...
Come
and have some fun…when’s the last time YOU had
FUN?!?!

Motorcycle Awareness Month Celebration
along with the Southern Cruisers Riding Club "Desert Fun
Run"
What a day...Bike
Show, Iron Pony Rodeo, Skill display by the Indio Police Motor Officers,
100+ mile poker run, Armed Forces Day remembrance, 114
degree temps, lots of beautiful bikes, wonderful people and
more - too bad the HEAT beat us all up. Many thanks to all
who stuck it out and made it an event to remember.
Just an FYI, we were able to raise over $1,000 each for both
Hanson House and Mourning Star. Many thanks also to the City
of Indio for all their help and support in putting this event
on...it would not have been possible without them.
We'd like to
thank the following businesses for their sponsorships -
by participating (forking out $$$), they've made it
obvious that they care about motorcyclist safety here in
the desert.
