Spit-Shine That Bike!

It’s time for our annual Spit-Shine Bike Show. You’ve got about two weeks left to add a few accessories and polish that chrome. This year’s event – Saturday, June 2 -- has 10 categories, from Stock to Best of Show.

Registration starts at 10; judging starts at noon . While you’re waiting, our HOG chapter will cook up some BBQ, there will be a beer garden on the side, and Hog Wild band will keep your toes tapping.

KBOY Radio will also give away a new 2007 Sportster® at the end of the day. You must register at our front counter anytime between now and June 2 and listen for your name to be called on-air to become a finalist. For details, click here.

To get those bugs back on your windshield, the next day -- Sunday, June 3 – ride on the Spit-Shine Poker Run, hosted by Southern Oregon #1 HOG. Registration is from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. here at D&S. See ya then!

Thanks for Having Heart!

Thanks to you, we raised over $7,000 at this year’s Bikers Have Heart Yahtzee Run May 5.

Donations are still coming in to help the family of Kaden Hopkins, a 5-year-old boy from Grants Pass , who died from leukemia on April 27.

If you’d like to know more about Kaden, check out our HawgBlog.

We thank everyone who donated by buying hearts, sending checks or riding with us that day. You’re the best.

We’ll create a photo album on our website of all the entries and award prizes in a bunch of categories. The last time we tried this, we got photos of happy D&S customers all over the world. If you’re not in town and need a D&S shirt, you can buy one at our online store.

Nuts & Bolts… 

We’re down to our last few 2007 motorcycles. If you’ve just got to have one before riding season, contact Lori, Josh or Larry in our Sales Department.

There’s a new face behind the Parts Counter. Stop by and say hi to Rick Flinders when you can.
