Today marks the start of the Suzuki Double Header at Road America as well as the Ride for Life in Manteno. For those of you at Road America, I only have two words for you, "Race Gas!" You know exactly what I am talking about. For the rest of you.... Riding season is here! For those die hard riders who ride 10 months of the year, they are going to tell you that riding season started as soon as the weather hit 45 degrees. But for the average rider, the weather is just beginning to announce Spring....
This year has been a little different from the norm. We have the news pounding out to us all the doom and gloom they can muster. We are not saying to ignore the world around us or to go against your instincts on how to handle today's economy, but instead to take each day as it comes, make a difference when you can, and treat others as you would like to be treated. In order to be able to do that in today's world, stress relief is the key. For the motorcyclist, that equates to riding.
There is nothing better than a nice ride to take the edge off of the day. Feeling the wind as you gracefully cut through it. Smelling the corn erupting in the fields, the flora and fauna as you pass the many parks, and the feeling of complete abandonment as it becomes just you and the open road. Many of us can only compare the feeling to flying. It's a way to rejuvenate from the trials and tribulations of life.
But riding is also a lifestyle. It's filled with riding groups like the Shadow Riders (http://www.shadowridersinc.com/) who ride constantly together, have monthly meetings filled with laughter, food and drink (occasionally grog...lol) and they even have their Wii parties together. They share the good times and the bad, and one thing that is the biggest plus... you will never be alone, unless you want it that way.
In celebration of the unofficial beginning of riding season, and the beginning of this blog, Chicago Sports & Cycle is offering a FREE $10.00 CSC Gift Card or a coupon for 10% off a new motorcycle, ATV, scooter, or PWC. All you have to do, is sign up as a follower/member of this blog by July 31, 2009 and we will email you your coupon/gift card.
We are excited about Spring! We are excited about Road America! We are excited about riding. So Start Those Engines Everyone..... Lets Ride!!!

I look forward to more posts about the shop, the services, the events, the staff, and tips. As stated to many, I will have to always buy Japanese MC because I won't buy a MC anywhere else.
