Kim's Korner - I am going to give you an unsolicited testimonial about the Barefoot Science system. George & Halle bragged on this thing for over a year...and Jeff finally decided to give the system a shot about 6 months ago. He now swears by it too. G&H contacted the manufacturer and now WE are authorized sellers of the system. I'm a skeptic by nature, but in order to sell something, I need to know how it works myself. Both Lisa and I were given a pair of the 3/4 length "Active" insoles to try out...and both of us are amazed at how un-tired our legs and feet are at the end of the day. My husband John asked me to get him a pair - he's on his feet ALL day long (he's a Bug Killer Extraordinaire!) and his comment after only one day was that he had no knee pain at all (his knees always hurt) while wearing the insoles. Did I mention we offer a 30 day money back guarantee ?!?!

Just an FYI - because we care about you. Wear your sunscreen!! If you're in our neck of the woods, feel free to use our SPF 30 supply in the bathroom!

George's Garage -
If you ride an HD FLH of any kind (FLHR, FLHTC, FLHX, etc.) there's a new part that you might want to check out...The Touring TXR. This deceptively simple piece of hardware will absolutely improve the handling of your bike while at high speed or when cornering - it makes your bike feel more 'solid'. We've installed 5 of them so far and everyone has said that the part should come stock from the factory - it has that much of an impact on the ride. The TXR comes in black for $399.95, and polished for $449.95. It takes approx. 30-45 minutes to install it. We're so convinced that you'll love how it works that we'll guarantee it. We'll put it on and let you take it for a ride - if you aren't completely sold on it within a couple of blocks, we'll take it off and refund every penny - no questions asked.

Valley V-Twin Bi-Weekly Newsletter

2 Night cruise on the Dawn Princess - May 4-6, 2008:
We're up to 20 desert rats booked on this cruise...with 4 more couples in the "tentative stage". Penny is working on getting a party bus lined up for us so we don't have to pay for parking at the pier or the gas to get there and back. If you want information about the Birthday Cruz, feel free to call any of us (we're all going!) or, click here to get all the cruise and booking info.

Riding Trick:
Here's an old trick that never goes out of style. You can make your zippers work more smoothly by rubbing both sides with simple hand soap then working the zipper up and down a couple of times. If you're afraid all your zippers will start foaming while riding in the rain (like THAT happens a lot out here!), candle wax does pretty much the same thing. Just light a candle, allow a few drops of hot wax to drip onto a zipper then (while the wax is still warm) work the zipper.

Rides & Events Calendar    Lots of events coming up in the next few months - don't be left out of all the action! If you've got an event or ride to promote, please post it on the calendar. Lots of room to post all the necessary information and no passwords necessary...and, as always, no cost to you!

     Annual Critter Run

Valley V-Twin is the second stop of the run...and we're offering 15% off everything (okay, not everything - the discount isn't good on vehicles or labor - and can't be combined with the regular 10% discount we give HOG members!) until Noon that day!

11th Temecula Hog Poker Run

***Mark Saturday, May 17th down in your dayrunner or on your calendar - the Motorcycle Awareness Month event returns to Old Town Indio. More info, details, etc...coming soon!

Biker Bowling (we're gonna give this a try!)
We're going bowling next Wednesday (the 26th) evening and you're invited to play with us. Meet our very unprofessional group at Fantasy Lanes at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. Cost is $14 each for one hour of bowling and includes shoes (I can't wait to see George in bowling shoes!). We'll start bowling at 7pm sharp (guess this means you'll have to be there early to get ready to play). Lanes are available "first come, first served". Regular rate is $4 per game and $3.25 for shoe rental.

Lo-Jack Special thru March 31st. (Lo-Jack with Early Warning System). Less than 2 weeks left to take advantage of our installation discount... 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. Mention this newsletter and we'll knock off an additional $50. The quoted price is all you'll pay...there are no monthly fees or dues. Got questions, please call us...that's why we're here.
Valley V-Twin is the Coachella Valley's only Lo-Jack dealer for all American Motorcycles.
