Hey all!
I've been charged with pedalling our company's wares to everyone I know. You're all in my Outlook contacts, so take a look at our threads and fine porcelains:
I know what you're probably thinking... the Chief's a sell out. RoadLoK pays my bills and keeps gas in my scoot, so there!
Ride safe!

A Public Service Message About Motorcycle Security
I would surmise that with the current economic situation in our country, the use of and sales of motorcycles will probably increase. Many motorcycle owners whom in the past, have used their bikes for luxury and sport, may find it necessary to utilize their bike for daily commuting. Gas prices certainly could dictate this trend.
For that reason—and because we at RoadLoK Security truly care about you and your motorcycle—I would like to offer some words of advice about securing your prized possession.
Common sense can go a long way. Without going into a long laundry list of “do’s and don'ts” I’ll make this simple, brief and to the point:
A good share of motorcycle thefts in the United States are “roll away”- or “ride away”-type thefts. We all know and have heard many times that “ four strong men with a couple of pipes or two by fours, can carry your locked bike away”.
Yes, RoadLoK Security acknowledges the fact that if someone wants your bike bad enough, they’ll probably get it. We simply say, “don’t let your bike remain an easy target”.
Lock your bike as best as you know how. Install a RoadLoK, utilize a chain and padlock, install an alarm with a lock—just do something to secure the bike!
Always try to park in well lit areas that are visible to vehicle and foot traffic. If you ride in a group, block each others bike in and secure them all. If you can secure more than one bike to another or to an immovable object, do that too.
If you are continuously aware of the threat of theft, and keep a security conscious mind about where and how you leave your bike unattended you may not become a disgruntled pedestrian!

Safe Riding!

The Chief and Brink Tackle Deal's Gap
APRIL 24, 2007
by The Chief
RoadLoK Affiliate Mike Brink and I (The Chief) spent the weekend of April 27 at the Annual ‘Busa Bash, at Deals Gap, NC. The weather was ideal and the ride was beyond any expectations, being that it was our first time there. Brink was sporting his Suzuki TL1000 and my scoot of choice was my Yamaha YZF 600R. Although my 600 couldn’t compare to the ‘Busa or TL, it truly held its own weaving through the 318 curves of the Dragon. Quick and light, the 600 is a good ride. Riding on the Cherohala Skyway which is more open to speed, Brink and the ‘Busa crew waited patiently for me at the end.
The ‘Busa Bash --as it has been titled --is an annual get-together by the members of Hayabusa.org. This group of riders, both male and female alike, are a great bunch of folks. The care and respect that they hold for each other is paramount. One quick example of the caring nature that they hold toward each other involved a mishap by one of the orgs administrators. MCMustang (Sean) had the misfortune of crashing, soon after arriving for the bash, which sent him off to the local hospital and sent his prized possession, “Bessie” to the “too messed up to ride” category. While he was at the Emergency Room, the ‘Busa gang grabbed up Bessie and began a complete rebuild, making her road worthy once again. MC was able to ride her a few more times before the bash came to a close.
The ‘Busa Bash was a totally enjoyable experience for Brink and myself and we are both waiting patiently for next year's event!
