New Year's Resolutions Sale

As part of this relevant and timely campaign, Eaglemark Savings Bank, a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., is offering a limited-time finance offer on 105th Anniversary motorcycles to bring attention to both the bikes and commemorative content.

From January 1 – February 2, 2008, well-qualified customers may be eligible for 1.05% APR for 36 months with a 10% down payment on all 105th Anniversary motorcycles except CVO models.

Now we are into 2008, and I want to welcome a new group of primary officers in our club.  I know they are ready to accept the challenge to make 2008 a great year.  In 2008, our club will be turning 22, our dealership will be 52, and Harley Davidson will be 105.  Come this August, we will have the privilege of having several legs of the cross country ride coming through Amarillo headed to Milwaukee for the 105th anniversary.  So, if you hadn't joined the club yet, or looking for a reason to get involved, or just taking a little time away, now is the time to get involved.  It is a lot of great fun, and it is a great way to meet people and make new friends.

On the business side, if you have been considering a new motorcycle, this is certainly the time.  Now through February 2, 2008, we can certainly get you some great financing on that new 105th anniversary Harley Davidson.

Thanks for your continued patronage on behalf of the Tripp family.

Here are some tips on maintaining your helmet:

• Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for your helmet.
• Only use the mildest soap or cleaner recommended. Avoid any chemical-based cleansers. Strong cleaning agents can cause the helmet to decompose and damage its protective layer.
• Do not drop your helmet on hard surfaces - it could damage the shell or internal materials.
• Read the instructions about painting, decorating, or applying decals to your helmet. Some plastic compositions can be damaged if painted.
• Never hang your helmet in a manner that could tear the inner liner.
• Place your helmet on a flat surface. A helmet should always be placed "pads down", not on it's shell.

Luke Christie to serve as 2008 Harley-Davidson and MDA Goodwill Ambassado

Harley-Davidson and the Muscular Dystrophy Association announce that Luke Christie will serve as Goodwill Ambassador for Harley-Davidson fundraising efforts to benefit the MDA throughout the U.S. in 2008.

Luke, a 14-year-old resident of Due West, S.C., previously served two very active terms as National Goodwill Ambassador for MDA.  

Harley-Davidson Motor Co. President and Chief Operating Officer Jim McCaslin said the company is lucky to have Christie as part of the team. “Luke is an amazing young man and we’re looking forward to having him represent MDA at Harley-Davidson’s 105th Anniversary and Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) 25th Anniversary events.”

Through his previous role, Christie participated in several Harley-Davidson events including annual dealer meetings and top Harley-Davidson fundraising events. 

In 2008, he will participate in year-long activities culminating with Harley-Davidson’s 105th Anniversary and H.O.G events taking place in Milwaukee August 27-31, 2008. 

MDA National Chairman Jerry Lewis said Christie is a natural talent for the new position. “Luke has two years of solid spokesperson experience under his belt,” Lewis said. “I know he’ll do great work for Harley-Davidson’s efforts on behalf of MDA.”

Harley-Davidson has been a national sponsor of the Muscular Dystrophy Association since 1980 and the Harley-Davidson family of dealers, riders, suppliers and employees has raised more than $65 million for MDA. The funds raised support life-saving research, comprehensive medical care for children and adults with neuromuscular disease and MDA summer camps.
