It's Spit Shine Weekend

Our favorite way to spend a Saturday is with a 500 of our friends in the parking lot -- and that's just what we did June 7. Our Spit-Shine Bike Show had perfect weather, great music by Hawg Wild, cold beer, and lots of chrome. Opus Radio gave away a 2008 Night Train to a very happy Ina Dowdy-Moore of Medford.

And the following people walked away with the trophies:

Best In Show -- Sue Summers, 2001 FXDX

Go on, Get it Dirty!

You spent all night Friday shining it up for the show, and Saturday hanging out in our parking lot. Spend Sunday collecting some brand new bugs! Our HOG Chapter will host the Spit Shine Poker Run, with registration from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Cost is $15 per hand.

Monday? We're Open!

D&S is back on summer hours, so we’re open seven days a week! You need us? We’re here: Sunday 10 to 4; Monday through Friday 9 to 6; and Saturday 9 to 5. Please note: Our Service Department is not available on Sundays.

Sorry! Our Party is Full!

There's only so much room for so many women -- so our next Garage Party™ is fully booked. If you made the list, show up at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, June 8, for a fun evening with other women who are interested in riding. If you missed the deadline, contact jamie@dsharley.com to get on the waiting list -- or be first in line for the next one!

Screw It -- Let's Ride!

In case you haven't seen the national ads, Harley-Davidson has started a campaign that reminds people that "We Don't Do Fear." As the ad says:

"Over the last 105 years in the saddle ... We've seen wars, conflicts, depression, recession, resistance and revolutions. But every time, this country has come out stronger than before. Because chrome and asphalt put distance between you and whatever the world can throw at you. Freedom and wind outlast hard times. And the rumble of an engine drowns out all the spin on the evening news. If 105 years has proved one thing, it's that fear sucks and it doesn't last long. So screw it, let's ride."

We completely agree, and hope you do too. We are a community of people who have decided life is too short to spend it at home worrying on the couch. Send us a photo of you and your bike out there in the world and we'll proudly post it on our Community Page. Fear? We left it behind, miles ago...

Thanks for being part of the D&S Community. As you rumble off into summer, have fun, and ride safe -- terrie* and the Crew at D&S
