The Newest Info:
-
Still one of the next best ways to get in on all the FX Thunder H.O.G. news is to be in on our WhatsApp Group. If you'd like to join, the directions on how to do that are below.
-
A reminder that if you have IRONe tickets that you have sold, please turn those in to Dawn at the dealership. The raffle for the bike will take place on Friday, November 27; winner does not have to be present to win.
-
The votes are in!! Our 2021 Overnight Trip Destination has a winner!! Next year we'll be headed to Gettysburg, PA for 4 nights: July 8-11. There will be plenty to do and see: Gettysburg Bike Week is that same weekend, with live music, bike shows, swap meet, vendors and more. Then there's the historic Gettysburg National Military Park, the site where President Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address, and the Military Museum. Plus, York, PA (home of the Harley-Davidson Factory) is just an hour's ride away. Once we have information on room prices from the hotel we will put that out to the group. In the meantime, mark your calendars!!

Annual Christmas Party - look for your invite!
|

Set for December 12 at the Ramada Inn in Watertown. Meet and greet begins at 5pm, and dinner is at 6pm. In addition to dinner there will be the Great Card Game Gift Exchange -which is always lots of fun.
We'll need to get a count of who is planning to attend and what your meal choice(s) will be. Look for your invitation to arrive in your inbox soon and be sure to RSVP if you'd like to attend.

Winter Motorcycle Storage Tips
|
It's that time of year again -planning to store your bike so you'll both be ready to ride in the Spring. Here's some tips for tucking your baby in at home:
- Clean a space in your garage, preferably away from any vehicles that will be out in the snow (cars/trucks will bring in salt from the roadway).
- In the garage put down a tarp (for a moisture barrier), then an old carpet -that's where you can park your bike, no lift needed (but do make sure your tires are at the proper pressure).
- Perform an oil change (or have the dealership do it) and wash your bike.
- Top off your fuel tank, using a fuel additive.
- Put a "Smart" battery tender on your bike -one that automatically charges as needed and then shuts itself off.
- Tuck her in with a proper motorcycle -one that breathes. Please do not use a tarp or bed sheet because they'll trap moisture making your bike rust!
- Then set it and [try to] forget it until Spring. Please do not start your bike to let it idle in the garage!! Your batter tender will keep things fresh, and it really does more harm than good.
Don't have room at home? Winter Storage is available at FXCHD!! Just $349 for the 2020-2021 season.
