A 2009 Road King Classic Is Now Mine

I couldn't sleep very well Thursday night, knowing that at noon, I'd be taking possession of my brand-new 2009 Road King Classic. So, it wasn't quite Christmas eve, but as the long hours stretched out it sure felt like it was. I finally got some sleep, only to find myself waking up at dawn. I looked at the clock and immediately found myself thinking... [Read more of this review]

Third Day Of Rider’s Edge Course Done

With the rain that we had yesterday, the temperature was was great. Today, on the other hand, was uncomfortably hot. Definitely a day to be playing in the sprinklers, or staying indoors, or doing anything but finishing the last day of the Rider's Edge motorcycle safety course. Everyone was a bit anxious, including me. From what I heard, some people... [Read more of this review]

Second Day Of Rider’s Edge Course Done

Random Rider's Edge classThe two people who I mentioned before that had problems controlling their motorcycles yesterday didn't show up today. I was not particularly surprised. I was looking forward to today's class, because, according to the instructors, we were going to spend a lot more time on the motorcycles and less time in the classroom. From... [Read more of this review]

First Day Of Rider’s Edge Course Done

Motorcycle Training CourseAs I mentioned before, I managed to get into an earlier date for the Rider's Edge motorcycle safety course offered at Dillon Brothers Harley-Davidson here in Omaha, Nebraska. After waking up, I gathered all the equipment I'd need for the class - one of my helmets, my sunglasses and my gloves - and headed over to Dillon Harley,... [Read more of this review]

Frontier Harley Shows Their Dedication To Customer Service

Jay EiltsIn my visits to the Harley-Davidson dealerships in the Omaha area, I've met and talked to a lot of great guys in the sales departments of those dealerships. Omaha motorcycle enthusiasts are pretty fortunate to have so many options when it comes to buying a Harley. That said, I've yet to find a dealership that's as devoted to customer service... [Read more of this review]

Bought Some Harley Sunglasses

As the date for the motorcycle rider training course that I've signed up for has been moved up a few weeks, I've been looking for some protective eyewear to wear that will look good and still provide the protection that's required for the course. My life has been a constant struggle to find sunglasses that are able to look decent while they're sitting... [Read more of this review]

My Visit To Frontier Harley-Davidson In Lincoln

Like I mentioned before, my wife and I were planning to take a few hours out of our Thursday to head over to Lincoln and do a few things. One, we were going to meet up with my wife's friend, Brenda, and her 3-month-old baby - whose name I have already forgotten. I will probably pay for that later. The girls shopped up a storm at the Lincoln mall.... [Read more of this review]

Motorcycle Safety Course Date Moved Up

I do not have a motorcycle license. I've ridden a number of times before, but never while actually licensed in the state of Nebraska. For some reason the California license I originally had a motorcycle stamp on didn't transfer that over to the Nebraska license I got when I moved to Omaha. I had a Nebraska permit for a while, but let that lapse. So... [Read more of this review]
