Valley
V-Twin Newsletter
Name that Tune...uh, Newsletter!
Do you love contests? Try this one on for size. We've
tossed lots of names for this newsletter around and haven't
come up with anything catchy. If you've got a suggestion,
and we use it, we'll give you a Valley V-Twin $20 gift
card and bragging rights.
The Old Town Indio Street Fair is
tonight! The Street Fair runs from 5:30pm-8:30pm
right across Indio Blvd. from us - at Miles Ave. and
Towne Street. We'll be open an extra hour (til 7pm)...but
you're welcome to use our parking lot.
Our Rides & Events Calendar is filling
up. Tis the
season to be riding...and playing...and going places. If
you've got an event or ride to promote, please post it on the
calendar. No passwords necessary...and no
charges!
Head's Up on one event - The ABATE Local 36
monthly meeting is Thursday, the 14th - yep, Valentine's Day
night...at The Point After. It was the old Beer
Hunter. On Date Palm south of Dinah Shore. Dinner starts at
6pm to 7pm and the Meeting follows. Minors are welcome &
encouraged!
25% off leather jackets...and more!
The Valentine's 25% Off Sale has been slightly
modified. It now includes any in-stock leather apparel
you purchase at the same time as a jacket. This applies to
vests, chaps, boots, leather pants, and gloves. You asked, we
listened! The sale ends on Saturday the 16th of
February.
Lo-Jack
Installation Special extended thru March
31st. Lo-Jack with
the Early Warning System is kicking butt. Vehicle recovery
times are amazing and more insurance companies are giving
discounts if you have it installed. We realize it's kind of
tough to fork out close to $950 for something you can't
see, smell, taste, or touch - that's why we're offering $100
off the total price.
Valley V-Twin is the
Coachella Valley's only Lo-Jack dealer for all
American Motorcycles.

PRESIDENTIAL
POLITICS – By now it is safe to say that just about everyone
in the country is well informed about the heated presidential
race this November. This race is significant for a number of
reasons, including the fact that it's the first time a woman
and a minority are in the race and they are not the same
person. It's also the first race in over 50 years in
which neither a sitting president nor vice president is in the
race. In addition, the top three candidates are sitting
senators, and we haven’t elected a sitting senator to the oval
office since John Kennedy in 1961.
Although this race is
stacked with differences between the top candidates, giving
pretty much everyone out there a reason to vote and a
candidate to vote for, there is one sparkling similarity
between all of the top candidates. When the United States
Senate passed the last highway bill in 2005, an attempt was
made by Senator F. Lautenberg to attach a national helmet law
onto that must-pass legislation. The MRF, with the help of
state motorcyclists' rights organizations (SMROs) and
motorcyclists nationwide, was able to help stop that amendment
from passing, and it’s to the praise of Senators like McCain,
Clinton, and Obama who all voted against the national helmet
law. So whatever side of the political pasture you are sitting
in, know this: all of these senators have gone on record
opposing national helmet laws and standing in defense of
states' rights to govern themselves. That's an otherwise
bright spot in a presidential race thats sure to get much more
ugly before it's over.
Remember, always ride
safe and sober! |
