Federal Stimulus Bill Includes Tax Break for Motorcycle Purchases
Language that provides a tax deduction for the purchase of a motorcycle is in the economic stimulus bill, the AMA reports. The AMA, working in conjunction with other stakeholders, worked diligently to secure the motorcycle provision within the measure.

Motorcycles are included as "qualified vehicles" in Section 1008 of the legislation. Those purchasing a new motorcycle from February 17, 2009 to December 31, 2009 will be able to deduct the sales and excise taxes on their 2009 tax returns. You can deduct taxes paid on the first $49,500 of the motorcycles price.




Yosemite Dual Sport Ride Sunday 3/22/09!
Gail is leading another Dual Sport Ride this Sunday 3/22/09. We will be heading to Coulterville before heading to the dirt. We will wander the dirt roads between Buck meadows and Yosemite National Park. Be sure to bring a camera as we will have views of Half Dome and El Captitan during the ride!

If the weather holds, this ride is beginner friendly! Unfortunately current weather reports show a storm coming in Sunday. Weather.com is calling for showers in the area of the ride. I will be riding rain or shine. However the ride will not be beginner friendly if it is wet. Street tires are not adequate in the mud. Bring your knobbies and a little "go for it" if it is rainy!

Feel free to invite a friend along too. You do not have to ride a BMW in order to play with us on this ride.

Meet at Cycle Specialties parking lot Sunday morning at 8:30AM with a full tank of gas. We will get on the road at 9:00AM. We will also have a secondary meet spot under the tree in Coulterville at 10:30AM.

See ya soon! Gail



THREE TOP TENS FOR BMW MOTORRAD MOTORSPORT!
BMW Motorrad Motorsport riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus rode superbly in both the two 18-lap races in Doha today and earned themselves three top ten placings! Troy finished ninth in both races and Ruben took 13th in race one and followed that with a hard-fought for tenth in race two. Today ' s tremendous results were all the more spectacular considering that Ruben and Troy had started the races from the fourth row of the grid after a problems in Superpole yesterday.

But almost more special than the top ten finishes was the sight of Troy in fourth place after two laps of race two! The Aussie had blasted off the line superbly from 16th on the grid and stunned everybody by crossing the line in fifth place at the end of lap one. By lap two he had stormed into fourth - a position he held until lap four. Although he ended the race in ninth, his spell in fourth place made up for all the disappointment the past two days and gives Troy, Ruben and the whole team a tremendous boost before the next race in three week ' s time.
