Hi,

GERBINGS - We will now carry Gerbings gear at our shop. Our inventory will arrive in two weeks. 

APRIL 18, 2009 RIDE TOMORROW - Meet at the shop at 10:00 a.m. for a 1.5 hour ride on back roads leading to GERBINGS in Tumwater, WA.  Gerbings will provide a FREE BARBECUE beginning at 11:30 and serve until 2:00 p.m.  The latest in heated products will be available as well as door prizes.  Various motorcycle vendors will be attending beginning at 9:00 a.m.  Make sure you stop by our Triumph tent to say "HI". 
 
APRIL 20, 2009 RIDE MONDAY - Many of you have commented that all the rides are held on weekends and not week days so this one is especially for the weekday crowd.  Meet at the shop at 10:00 a.m. to go riding.  We'll ride from 10 a.m. and head back before rush hour traffic - approximately 3 p.m. 
 
APRIL 26, 2009 SUNDAY - The 4th Annual Northwest RAT (Riders Association of Triumph) Lunch in Chehalis takes place at the Kit Carson Restaurant at 1:00pm. 
 
APRIL 28-MAY 2, 2009 TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY - TRIUMPH OPEN HOUSE WEEK  Specials and sales are all week long!
 
MAY 2, 2009 SATURDAY - TRIUMPH OF TACOMA OPEN HOUSE!  10-5 p.m.  Spread the news.  We will be hosting our Open House with special Triumph deals, sales, various representatives for gear, free maps, hourly raffle prizes, free food and a bike wash with proceeds benefiting Fort Lewis' Fisher House as well as guests from Brothers in Arms, Lakewood Police, Puget Sound Safety and the US military.  If you have any questions about endorsements, road laws, etc. this would be the perfect time to ask.  More reminders yet to come.
 
FREE MAGAZINE - This month's issue of Friction Zone is available.  Drop by for your copy.
 
JUNE 5, 2009 - The Advanced Street Skills class is now full.  If you are still interested, please let me know.  I'll make sure you are placed on a standby list.  We are sharing the track with the military and others so there may be last minute absences.
 
2008 DAYTONA 675 SE- I've had many people ask why I parted with my 2008 Daytona 675 SE.  Triumph made a great bike even greater in '09.  More horsepower (which I never used all that I had in the 2008), lighter bike, many updates for performance and it's RED!  The separation anxiety won't be too awful because my bike has been sold to a mature responsible rider and I'll still be able to see it!
 
That's it for now.  Enjoy the beautiful sunny high temperature days this weekend.  Hope to see you at Gerbings on Saturday.

Motorcycle Sound System by Boostaroo

The New Revolution Amps Are Here! 12V Powered, AC Powered

"We've spent 11 years developing audio enhancement products for people that want a better audio experience, and we back all our headphone amplifier and sound enhancement products with a full 90 day return policy. If you are not happy, simply return it for your money back." » Learn More Here

http://boostaroo.com/

Why a headphone amplifier and audio splitter is better than an ordinary audio splitter:

A passive, or non-powered audio splitter, can dramatically reduce the power to your headphones or earbuds by 30% or more. This not only affects the overall volume to your headphones, but the audio dynamics are diminished as well. The end result will cause you to increase the volume of your audio player, which creates added distortion, and decreases battery life dramatically.

A Boostaroo headphone amp and audio splitter is self powered. It will never decrease the volume level of your audio player. Plus, the additional power increase allows you to turn down the volume of your audio player. This extends the players battery life, reduces distortion, and increases audio clarity.

News from Triumph of Tacoma, Washington

Hi,
This newsletter feels a little grim because of its content so if you only want happy news I would suggest you hit the delete button now. As motorcyclists, we all assume risk as part of the sport and try to stay as safe as possible. Sometimes too many factors build up and things happen in life, but a great part of motorcycling is the closeness of the motorcycle community and our willingness to support one another.
DAWN - Many of you have met Dawn who is in our shop a lot. She shattered both bones in her lower leg while dirtbike riding and she will need multiple surgeries and months to recover fully. Drop by and sign a card to cheer her on! She also signed up for the June 5th Advanced Street Skills class for the discounted $265.50 versus the regular price of $295.00. If you're interested in filling her spot, please let me know as soon as possible.
SATURDAY RIDE - In yesterday's newspaper, I saw the "Harrison Memorial Ride" which will raise donations for the funeral expenses for the five children that were killed in their Graham home. It is organized by a fellow motorcyclist. If you are interested in participating, meet at Denny's at 10 a.m. for breakfast or at the shop at 11 a.m. to ride. We will wind our way to Orting by noon and the 20 mile charity ride will begin at 2 p.m. Please RSVP so I can give the restaurant a heads up and prepare for the ride to Orting accordingly. Thank you.
BE SAFE - This morning on the news they reported that four motorcyclists have been killed in WA in the last TWO WEEKS!!! Yikes!! We all know that motorcycling is a sport involving perishable skills so take it easy coming out from winter hibernation. Many of the roads still have debris from winter on them. If you've only ever taken the beginner's MSF course it might be fun for you to challenge yourself and take the Intermediate MSF course, Advanced Street Skills course or one of the many other courses that Puget Sound Safety (www.PugetSoundSafety.com) or other motorcycle instruction schools have to offer in your area. Use those spidey senses to watch for car drivers who have to adjust to seeing us on the road again. Be careful out there!
Ride safe,
Vena
