This weekend I watched some dirt track action for the first time in several years. It was the Tulsa stop for the 2010 AMA Arenacross Series and the venue was the BOK Center.

We cheered on the local boys- like Robbie Reynard and Corey Green- but in the end it was Tyler Bowers taking the top spot on the podium for the main event.

It was a great event and all the riders put on one hell of a show.

The Davis-Bourne Inn is a historic Victorian bed and breakfast with a fine dining restaurant located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are so many possible scenic loops here, bikers could stay a week and not overlap more than 12-15 miles and explore the area. Hwy 58, part of Virginia''s Heritage Music Trail, and Hwy 21, the old Great Lakes to FL Highway, intersect in town. Stay at the Inn, unpack once and ride some of the most beautiful roads possible each day and dine in the restaurant in the evening while your bike is protected in the carriage house.

Sales Slowly Rebounding

The latest trade rags are reporting that motorcycle and ATV sales are slowly recovering from their monumental slump. Sales of new bikes in November 2009 were down about 13% compared to the previous year. If that doesn't exactly sound like great news consider the number was about 35% just a few months previous. Regionally the west is faring the worst with an average slump in sales closer to 20%. By contrast, dealers in the northeast report sales are off less than 2%.

This downturn in the sales of new units has had an interesting effect on the market in general. Some buyers are more apt to consider a less costly pre-owned purchase. Dealers turned up the volume on their used inventory to meet the demands of  price-conscience shoppers. Powersports auction houses are popping up across the country and finding new clientele in dealers who normally only worked their trade-ins.
