A Little Planning=Worry-Free Riding!
So many rallies and rides...so little time to get ready for them all!

Historically, most people wait until the last possible moment to prepare for their long summer jaunts (you know, installing new pipes, buying color-matched saddlebags or outfitting yourself in the latest and greatest of leathers...all the easy stuff!).

But being the saavy motorcycle owner, you know better. Now is possibly one of the best times to get your bike and yourselves ready for Laughlin, Sturgis and all rides and rallies in between.

Service:
We all know there's not too much that sucks as badly as when you're ready to set out on your much-needed adventure, only to look down and realize you needed a new rear tire about 100 miles ago, and your oil's looking a little suspicious. Oh, if only you'd remembered to plan ahead and get that bike in for routine service!

Consider this your reminder notice!

Now is the time to ensure your battery is juiced, your brakes will brake, your filters will filter, your...well, you get the idea. Call your favorite Thunderbird Service Writer today to schedule an appointment to get your bike checked out and ready to ride for the long haul this spring and summer.

Parts:
If you need to order more packing space, or that shiny chrome piece that HAS to be special-ordered, you are well aware there's no time like the present to increase your chances of having your parts arrive in plenty of time.

I know special-ordered items normally arrive within a few business days, but since most of the country is running into peak motorcycle season, I'd probably allow around 2 WEEKS for your stuff to show up (just think, when it comes early, it'll be a pleasant surprise and a really good omen for your upcoming trip!).

However, our parts department has become the posterchild for the parts catalog. We're so well stocked with accessories and parts, it'll be hard to want for something more!

Motorclothes:
I am also confident you are well aware that all the fantastic, limited-size-and-quantity spring Motorclothes have hit the store! I highly suggest you hurry in, since I have it on good authority these cool clothes won't last long!

And don't forget, for those of you planning trips to the West Coast, most of the East Coast, a significant portion of the South and Nebraska, Missouri and Michigan-you'll need a helmet!

I'm not talking about those often useless "novelty German-style" helmets people try to pass off as a real one. Nope...you'll need a genuine, accept-no-substitutes DOT approved helmet to keep you ticket-free and your noggin safe.

Wherever will you get one that doesn't make you look like a football player from the '70s? Why, here at Thunderbird of course! Talk with one of our talented-and-knowledgeable Motorclothes gals, and they'll be sure to get you fitted so you'll be safe and cool...at the same time!
