Winter Break

Being involved in the motorcycle industry in New York has its down side.
In a word–winter.

Getting a break now and then from Mother Nature typically seems like a nice treat, although as most of us native to the area realize, it’s a treat with a price. The price of course being the cold and snowy weather that surely follows before spring actually arrives.

A few days ago it was 68 awesome degrees in the Allentown, PA area. I know. I was there.

The RoadLoK Crew made a visit to a local motorcycle dealership – Blackman’s Cycle Center. It was there that the Chief got his first taste of a different kind of ride. When I first saw the Can-Am Spyder sitting on the walkway in front of Blackman's, it captured my attention. I had seen the Spyder before, but never really up-close and personal. It was uniquely different and offered an inviting ride.

Our meeting at the Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki Dealership was time well spent. Steve, whom heads up the dealership along with some of his staff, watched as we bolted up the new Arachnid xR prototype to several of their showroom bikes. Like all of our products, the installation was simple and the RoadLoK performed well. Nothing unusual about it, that’s how we roll!

Just prior to leaving Blackman’s, the offer came in, “Chief, you gonna ride the Spyder?”


“But of course!”

Thank you Steve and partner Zim, for the hospitality. You have one fine dealership that you can be proud of!

~Safe Riding~
