Well the temperature is better but the sun is hiding today. Had a great evening with our Garage Door number 2. This was the first advanced ladies evening that we have tried. Very successful with great feedback. Look in the photo gallery for a picture of the first class!!
As well we had a Honda Training session which was also a great time. The bikes to train on were provided by Honda and ourselves. We look forward to doing both events again.

Good morning! We are set up at the Quinte Mall in Belleville this week for their Home Improvement and Decorating Show. Stop by and take a look at the Harley-Davidson Home products we have on display - from clocks and tin signs to ceiling fans and even an outdoor firepit! Visit us during mall hours starting today until March 1st.
February 17th
Hope everyone had a great Family Day yesterday and enjoyed the sunshine. My family went to the Cardboard Sled Derby at Fort Henry Hill to check out the very creative sleds made by local businesses as well as families in the Kingston Area. I think MotoSport Plus will have one in next year for sure!

Happy Friday the 13th! Its a beautiful sunny day in Kingston and everyone has spring fever judging by the crowds in the showroom the past few days. Tomorrow is Valentines Day for anyone that might have forgotten, you still have a little time to pick up something for that special someone in your life. We are expecting another sunny day tomorrow and probably a wagon, not sleigh at Rosie's Annual Sleigh Ride tomorrow evening...hope to see everyone there!
Congrats to Jamie from Consecon our Valentine's Day Package winner. Jamie entered the draw when he saw our display at the Quinte Mall Boat & Recreation Show last week.

We spent the last week at the Quinte Mall. Reg had our display set up very nicely in the mall. Great to see everyone from the Quinte area. We are back in Quinte for 2 more shows this spring. Please check our calendar of events.
On a personal note I am now out and about a little bit. I have actually worked a few days part time. It looks like I am on the mend.

Were back from Washington DC and the Harley-Davidson Winter Dealer Meeting, as well as Harley-Davidson University! Some very cool new products including a sweet new bike called the Iron 883 - think Nightster, just smaller. All blacked out, slammed and badass! Hit the link to the H-D website, watch the Iron 883 video and you'll get the idea.
Hope to see everyone at Boston Pizza on Dalton Ave (right by the new Outlet Mall at Division Street)for UFC 94 tomorrow night. Were giving away a cool Skull H-D nylon jacket, so if you get there before 9 you can still get your name in for this draw and also get some other giveaways. Plus don't forget the 1/2 price appetizers! I know I will be there - come and join me - I hate to sit alone!
January 19th.
Big thanks to all that came out to UFC 93 at Boston Pizza on Saturday! It was an early fight (live from Dublin Ireland) at 3pm and was over by 6pm. 1/2 price appetizers thanks to Boston Pizza and some great drink specials made it an inexpensive afternoon. We gave away a couple of t-shirts and everyone got a V Rod poster, and as well it was the start to our contest for a draw for a nylon Harley-Davidson jacket. Take a look at our home page for more details!
January 13th
Just a quick update for everyone. We had a bus that went to the Toronto Supershow on January 3rd which was lots of fun! Tons of stuff to see.
We also had our first UFC Fight Night with the new Boston Pizza on Dalton Avenue - December 22nd - which was so cool. If you came in wearing something Harley there were 1/2 price appetizers between 7-9pm. The next fight, this weekend (January 17th) is live from Ireland, so it's an afternoon fight. Coverage begins at 3pm at Boston Pizza and we are doing the same 1/2 price deal, so I hope to see everybody out in their H-D finest (I know I'll be there!). More updates after this weekend...

A few words on the Garage Party from Jacqui
So last night's Garage Party was a huge success with over 45 ladies in attendance! Jamie FitzGerald introduced Laurie Bray (sorry you couldn’t be there too, Steve!) and all the staff that would be involved before splitting into four groups and heading off to the first of 4 seminars. After 2 seminars we had a short break for some yummy appetizers and some “Helmet-hair Tips” from Kyla Smith, a local stylist. After some door prizes were drawn it was back to the last 2 seminars.
The ladies learned about the proper riding gear for motorcycling and participated in a fun game in the clothing department with some prizes for everyone as well. They also learned about Fit, Function and Style of the motorcycle itself, with customization to reflect personal style and ergonomics, next was Motorcycle Orientation which went over motorcycle families and basic controls of the bike. The last station is probably our most popular – How to Pick up a Motorcycle – and this is no little bike, either. We put a Heritage Softail on its side (yes, this is over 700 pounds of motorcycle) and everyone who tried it was able to get that bike back up!
Congratulations Ladies and thanks to everyone who participated. The next one will be in March, so stay tuned for details.
Cheers!

Sorry that there has been such a long time between posts. I have been off work for a while. I have had a rather severe allergic reaction that has had me at home a lot.
Enough about that, its a bright and sunny day here today. We had our 25th Anniversary celebration last weekend. Thanks to all that came out. As well we had the Kingston Harley Owners Group 20th Anniversary party on Saturday night. Great turnout and super meal!!
And yes we did make it back from California. What a great trip. Feel free to drop in and discuss the trip with us. Next August we are off to Newfoundland and New Zealand in February 2010.
There are pictures of the California Trip on the photo section of the website.
Right now we are getting ready for the influx of storage bikes. Be sure to call the service department to reserve your space.
September 16th 2008
So here we are in California on Day 4 of the trip. Las Vegas was the start. Second was Death Valley where the temperatures were 120 degrees. Really neat to visit Scotty's Castle. Leaving at dawn the next day was so cool as the colours of the desert constantly changed as the sun was coming up. You just have to see it to believe it!
Day 2 on the road was a unbelievable day of twists and turns thru Shermans Pass and on to Three Rivers. From There its was thru two National Parks and into Mariposa. Today we tour Yosemite National Park and for the 4th day the roads were awesome!!!!!!
September 9th 2008
Well 30 bikes were loaded onto the transport last night. They are on the way to Las Vegas for the Feel the Freedom California trip! Should be a blast and Death Valley has cooled down to 102 degrees. We will try to keep the blog up to date while we are away. Watch the picture gallery for updated pictures.

Hey we made it back from Milwaukee. Great time had by all. Huge crowds for the weekend. Summerfest grounds were jammed for the events. Saturday night was Bruce Springsteen. Well what a concert. HUGE outdoor crowd. He played for over 3 1/2 hours with no break. A slight change from Elton last time. Saturday morning was the motorcycle parade thru the streets of Milwaukee. 8,000 bikes and thousands watching, what a site.
Great 2 day ride back. The weather was absolutely perfect the whole trip. The only pain were the tolls around Chicago. No delays and great riding!!!!
August 29th 2008 in Milwaukee
Huge numbers of bikes in town for the 105th. Yesterday was Club Hog, kid of neat. Traffic heavy on the freeway with bikes going to Miller Field. Today weather hot and sunny. The group is off to see the happenings at Summerfest Park. Some new photos posted on the photo gallery.
August 27th 2008 On the way to the 105th
Today we start our third day of our trip to Milwaukee. So far the trip has been excellent. Barbeques in London and in Windsor. Great hospitality, thanks to Rocky's and Thunder Road.

Hi! Jacqui here, sneaking into Steve’s blog. I wanted to thank everyone who came out to our 105th Warm-up Party on Saturday August 9th. The band, Ragged Company, rocked the house – or parking lot actually (thank you Chris and Derrick for putting it together so quickly). You can also check them out on August 24th at the 105th Ride Home lunch here at the dealership. Thanks also to our Kingston HOG Chapter volunteers for all their help with the barbeque.
For anyone who hasn’t been to an Anniversary Ride Home event, here it is in a nutshell. Starting from the east and west coasts, riders will start making their way to Milwaukee for the 105th Party and along the way there will be dealers who put on events for them. Ours will be a lunch on the 24th. See, that was easy! So if you want to join us in welcoming riders from our half of Canada and giving them a send off for the next leg of their journey, please stop in on the 24th. Check out our Customer Corner for more info! Any questions, please feel free to contact us…
Aug 11th 2008
Okay so it doesn't get updated every day. I will try to update if there are things of interest. Saturday was a very busy day with 100's of people here for our 105th pre-party. The band was great and we certainly raised a fair amount for the Boys and Girls Club through our barbeque. The riders meeting was great for those going to Milwaukee. Check out the pictures in our photo gallery section.
The next edition of our electronic newsletter is being prepared and should be out shortly.
