Sun, sand, surf and quad racing?

Sun, sand, surf and quad racing?? That’s right. For the past several years the seaside resort of Wildwood, New Jersey has hosted the Thunder in the Sand Beach race. Promoted by Thunder Motorsports the event is held late in the spring and early in the fall before and after the throngs of sun bathers converge on the Jersey Shore for summer time fun. The temporary track is built right on the beach and features all of the obstacles normally found on any race track around the country. The spring event was held over the final weekend in May and had nearly 400 quad riders including a full 20 man Quad A gate. In that A class Yamaha mounted Pat Brown was the class of the field defeating Donald Lysinger and Richard Lindsay for the top step on the podium. Your chance at racing on the beach comes again this fall on October 9-11. www.thundermoto.com for more information

Indy bound…

The annual industry trade show takes place in Indianapolis Indiana this weekend and I am looking forward to attending. In these touch economic times it can be easy to skip events like this to save a couple of bucks but as the parts Manager at Freehold Honda it offers me a great opportunity to see all of the vendors and new product in one weekend. What does this mean to you,  the reader?

Well starting next week when I get back I will feature product that I found at Indy that you may enjoy.

New Year Resolutions

Now that the presents are unwrapped and dishes are done it’s time to relax. But wait 2009 is just around the corner and so is the dreaded New Year Resolution. Sure everyone says they are going to get to the gym more often, quit smoking, save more money et cetera but how can you actually follow though with them this time?

Here are a couple of ways to get it done:

#1 WRITE IT DOWN This may be the single most important piece of advise I can give you when it comes to achieving your goals or resolutions. Once something is in writing you are more committed to achieveing the results. If forces accountability.

#2 TELL EVERYONE YOUR GOAL When you share your goal with friends and family they will help keep you on the right track. If your goal is to loose weight and your friends see you reaching for the potatoe chips they will help remind you how detrimental that is to your success.

#3 SET STEPS TO YOUR GOAL Achieving a large scale goal is hard work and everyone needs a little help along the way. By setting steps in your goal you have small measureable victories that will eventually enable you to achieve the larger goal.

I hope this helps you achieve all you can wish for in 2009.

What are your resolutions for 2009?

I’d like to know.

Holiday Shopping Guide

Holiday Shopping Guide
by Scott Lukaitis

As the parts and accessory manager at Freehold Honda the holiday shopping season is upon us. Mostly due to the current economic situation it seems like people are starting their holiday shopping earlier than usual. With that in mind here are some great gift ideas that have come across my desk in the last couple of weeks.

One of the popular gifts that we have seen already this season is the Go Pro Hero Wide angle Camera At $199.99 this unit is a self contained video recording masterpiece. Used this season by the Yamaha Factory motocross team as well as many privateers the kit comes ready to use for your shot at You Tube Fame.

Another popular gift this season is the Club Brace by Leatt Brace. This helmet for your neck has become a requirement for racers and play riders alike as safety has become more and more inmportant to the riding commiunity. Leatt braces are worn by many top professional riders and at $395.00 it is money well spent.

Some less expensive holiday gifts that have been popular so far are the latest DVD’s recently released. Every year around mid-November the latest batch of Quad DVD’s hit the shelf. Quad Jockeys 2, The Fallout: Reloaded and the ever popular Huevos series, this time with the eleventh installment, are due daily. And who can forget about the latest from Travis Pastrana and his friends. Nitro Circuis 6, Thrill Billies hit the shelves this week and as they say the rest is history. Another great video from the Nitro Circuis Crew.

Another trend we are seeing this season is the gift of preventative maintence. Although unwrapping a case of oil or a box of oil filters on Christams morning isn’t as exciting as an Xbox, the thought behind keeping your quad running is a practical one.

And last but not least keep your expensive quad battery healthy all winter long with a Battery Tender.  This important piece of winter maintenance is often over looked and by doing so can cost you. Save money this spring with a little winter maintenance.

Hopefully this will help you with your holiday shopping. So take some time and stop in your local friendly ATV dealer and let them help you with your holiday shopping needs.

Happy Holidays!!!
