1966 Ford Mustang hardtop for sale in Enfield, New Hampshire on GetAuto.com

2010-02-19T16:38:00.000-05:00

"Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end." ... or so the song goes.

One of the joys at working where I do, is I get to relive those days, if just a little bit every time I look at one of our classics.

Even this very simple Mustang brings back memories.

1966 Ford Mustang hardtop for sale in Enfield, New Hampshire on GetAuto.com

Two very good friends from by High School days owned Mustangs. Their parents probably owned them, but that doesn't really count. Marsha (was it Hall or Hull) had one. It was a blue 64 convertible. The really great thing about it was her father had to add blocks of wood to the pedals so she could drive it. Imagine doing that today!

My friend from down the block also had one. As long as Doug had it, he drove it everywhere. Of course he didn't have it that long as we pretty much believed if you hadn't blown the engine or tranny, you really weren't driving! At least, it wasn't destroyed like the 63 Impala my friends Rocky, Jim, & I wrapped around a tree on Main Street. Yes, those were the days...

It's amazing a Mustang like this even exists today. If you have memories like this (hopefully more like the good memories) check out our classics inventory. Go to GetAuto.com, Cars.com, or the more complete list at www.shakervalleyauto.net. and enjoy a short trip down memory lane!

TRUE AMERICAN ROAD TRIP

2010-02-02T14:59:00.008-05:00

Last year I had a lot of fun watch- ing an email campaign for:

THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD.

For several months Video Applications were taken for a position with the Queensland (Australia)Tourism Board to be a “Caretaker” on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef for 6 months. A young man from England won it. You can still check out some of Ben's adventures at http://www.islandreefjob.com.au/

Queensland may be a bit far for most of us to build up real excitement...... So closer to home, Victory is inviting 10 lucky people on

THE TRUE AMERICAN ROAD TRIP.

So if you're interested, grab your camcorder and tell the world why you deserve the chance to take a 2010 Victory Cross Country (or Cross Road if you rather) on a real American Adventure.

Good Luck!

But hurry, submissions will only be accepted through 11:59:59 PM ET on March 31, 2010. See the Victory Motorcycles website for complete terms & eligibility.

On the Cover of ….

2009-01-29T17:01:00.005-05:00

Well it's not the Rolling Stones. But for bike enthusiasts the AMA American Motorcyclist is even better!

Particularly since there is not a whole lot of riding going on in the Northeast. So when the latest AM came out I could not believe it that the cover story was about the head of Victory Motorcycles, Mark Blackwell.

Of course I'm sure it has a lot to do with this being the 10th Anniversary of Victory Motorcycles. But it still felt good. As a AMA Hall of Fame-er, 1971 500cc Trans-AMA champ, Suzuki motocross team manager, and the list goes on, Mark Blackwell deserves to be On the Cover of ...

And so do Victory Motorcycles. I can remember the media coverage on Victory's in the early days. It was, well in a word BAD. Now it's hard to read a review that isn't praising these great bikes. Just this week a customer brought in a review of the 2009 Victory Kingpin from Motorcycle Consumer News. What a good read!

Hope these magazines help the winter go quicker!

“BEAUTY “ is in the Eye of the Beholder

2009-01-22T15:09:00.006-05:00

Last week Victory Motorcycles unveiled their newest concept motorcycle. Called the CORE Concept it was unveiled at the IMS show in New York.

The CORE is powered by the 106/6 engine (1731cc/6 spd) which is also the platform of the Victory Vision, '09 Jackpot, & '09 Hammer. To show the engine is an integral part of the frame, there are NO down tubes. The 5 piece frame is Aluminum alloy with carbon fiber fenders. 28” Seat Height and 469 lbs. Dry weight, this is the bare essentials of a bike: engine, frame, wheels.

While this bike will probably never see full production, elements of it can easily appear in new models. The only purpose of showing a concept bike to to get reactions from people. So what do you think?

Just like my Uncle's bike

2009-01-07T12:56:00.006-05:00

The first motorcycle ride I can remember being on was on my Uncle's bike in the early 60's. He had taken a bicycle and put on a small single cylinder engine to it. It wasn't a thing of beauty, but it worked (that is until my mother ran it off the road, but that's another story.)

I remembered that ride when I opened today's email and was looking over the ALL NEW RIDLEY MOTORBIKES. Lo and behold, it's just like my Uncle's bike!

The Ridley Motorbike is available in 4 different styles, and a couple different engines (49cc & 70cc). If you are looking for a lot of fun, plus around 120 mpg, then check them out at www.ridleymotorbikes.com

Victory hits the big 10

2008-11-19T13:39:00.002-05:00

Victory Motorcycles is Celebrating 10 years of continuous production. In 1999 Polaris rolled out the first of it's Victory Motorcycles. In fact the first 1,500 were numbered with special handlebar covers. 10 years later, Victory is still going strong long after Indian, Excelsior Henderson, and some others have come and gone.

To say Thank You to it's customers, Victory Motorcycles is offering a couple of interesting limited time offers.

The first is a FREE Extended Service Contract for repeat buyers. If you have owned a Victory Motorcycle and Purchase a New Victory Polaris is offering it's 2 year (1+2) ESC, with $50 Deductible. This is a $600.00 Retail offer.

The second is a REFERRAL Gas Card program. For all Victory Owners, refer a friend to your favorite dealership and they buy a new Victory Motorcycle. Then both of you will receive a $100 Gas Card.

The only draw back to these great offers are they expire 11/30/08. Sure hope this is an idea that is “extended” for another quarter. Of course the other side of the coin is I got the ESC for my bike, and it turned out to be 4 years of good feelings, because I never needed it. Talk about well built bikes!
