The holidays are almost here, leaving many of us in a quandary as to what to buy for that special someone. We want to make it the "perfect gift."

The all-new 40-page Harley-Davidson Christmas catalog has a host of wonderful gifts that will fit any holiday budget. You may find something you think is really cool but you need to buy something for your Harley riding friend, partner, wife or husband. Is there a way to be assured that the gift will be appropriate? We think we've got the answer.

The solution is fast and requires no special gift-wrapping. That solution: a GIFT CARD. Over the years gift cards have become more and more popular. After all, it's the thought that counts, and the receiver will really appreciate your thoughtfulness. They won't have to suffer the embarrassment of exchanging or returning the gift and then confessing when you discover the truth. NO, the gift card may not be THE perfect gift but we think we've come up with an idea that may help.

It's never to late to get one. It's never on back-order and can come in any value.

Stop in soon, visit us online, or or call us to see our current specials.

Don't delay. Come in today. You'll be able to get your shopping done in minutes and can carry the present away with no need to wrap it. We'll even supply the envelope.




When it's past the riding season in most of the country north of the Mason-Dixon line, the season still continues south of the line, in the Sunbelt. However, there are some hints you might want to know to make the ride both safer and more enjoyable.

Riding in the southwest is fun -- Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico are great winter venues. Those of you from northern climates or southeastern states should know that the air is very dry in these states. Humidity levels of 10% are not uncommon. Dehydration is a real concern. Here's what you should do to prepare your bike and yourself.

First, take plenty of water with you. Riding in dry climates can be hazardous when combined with winds generated by cruising at 65+ MPH on the open, sun-drenched roads. Next, the distance between rest areas or gas stations is often more than 100 miles, so make sure you top off the gas tank as often as possible. Nothing is worse than running out of gas on a little-traveled road in the hot desert.

It doesn't take long for you to become very dehydrated. You don't notice it because the perspiration evaporates so quickly that your clothes don't get wet. Dehydration is deadly. Drink as much water as you can hold and drink some at least every 50 miles.

The temperatures in southern California, Arizona and New Mexico can climb to the upper 80s even in December and January. If you're not used to the dry heat, we suggest you ride with a wet T-shirt. The cooling effect of hot dry air rushing over a wet T-shirt is the equivalent of the famous Southwestern air conditioners commonly called "swamp coolers." They work based on the evaporative cooling effect.

Oh yeah, and don't forget to take along some suntan lotion. Apply it liberally to the back of your hands, your wrists, your neck and especially your nose. Buy the lotion with the highest SPF rating you can find. Unless you're wearing something over the leathers, it would be a good idea to slather your chest, arms and back with the lotion, too. Especially at the higher elevations, the UV rays can penetrate a T-shirt and give you really painful sunburn.

One final note: If you don't have a good pair of UV-inhibiting sun glasses, stop by the shop. We have some great ones that will protect your eyes and look cool, too.
