Victory demo rides at North County Yamaha March 17-18



How about a free chance to ride a brand new motorcycle?  Sounds pretty good, huh?  I've enjoyed the few demo rides I've gotten, but have never ridden a Victory.  Well, in two weeks, I may just get a chance!  One of the local shops, North County Yamaha, is having demo days March 17 and 18.  There will be two Victory models available-the Hardball and the Judge.  I'm kind of partial to hard saddlebags, so I may try to ride the Hardball.  Any Victory owners feel like chiming in?

Info on Cycle Gear San Diego Bike Night (BN#1) for tonight

Here's the flyer I was emailed for tonight's Cycle Gear event, and you could win a set of Dunlop motorycle tires!  I saw a time at last: 6-9 PM, so it does start earlier than Mira Mesa Bike Night.  Now if the rain will go away like Kim King, Chrissy Russo, Abrams and Bettes on The Weather Channel and everyone else keeps saying it will.....

EDIT 3/2/12:  Didn't make it, was under the weather (figuritively-it finally cleared up weather wise).  Anyone go and care to comment?
Bike Night Tonight!

Updated 4/26: 2 Bike Nights this Thursday in San Diego

This Thursday, March 1, 2012, there are two bike nights in San Diego.  The first one is the periodic Cycle Gear bike night at their San Diego store.  Here's a link to the map.  These usually start fairly early, maybe at 5:30 or 6, and at past ones they have had pizza, sodas, door prizes and manager's specials.  I've found Cycle Gear accessories to be good value for the price.  Their name brand gear is as good as any other source.  Their house brands are priced fairly for the quality you get at each price point.  See an earlier post for a review of their Trackside Front Wheel Chock.

After the Cycle Gear bike night, we'll be riding over to the Mira Mesa Bike Night (Facebook page) just off the I-15.  It gets started late, so going to both won't be an issue.  If you have to turn in early, be advised that the MMBN doesn't really get going until 7:30 or 8.  With how much rain we're having this week, it may be a little small.  C'mon San Diego-lots of the country would be riding almost every day this week if they could in this light stuff!

Hope to see you there!

Update:  2 Bike Nights tonight 4/26/2012 as well.  Headed out to Cycle Gear after a quick bite to eat, then over to MMBN.
