Regret TwinCam 88 style

Four years later I still regret letting this hand built baby get away... This is the motorcycle that I dreamed about for years. Then I made it happen (read some of the background in Purple Curve Effect). Then I rode it. Then I had to release it into the wild. VIN: 1R9SC25516B390616 Where O where are you now? Did I mention that it has the Black & Chrome HD TwinCam 88" engine? Chrome Weld Racing Blade wheels? Extra fat front tire? Gel seat? I could go on (if it were not for the tears clouding my vision)... -ski

Which Victory Motorcycle

Hour by Hour Test riding the Victory Motorcycles Which hour makes the most sense for a test ride today? The boys & girls at State 8 Motorcycles (Medina Store only) are featuring test rides on the complete Victory Motorcycle line (produced by Polaris Industries). The bigger question: if you could only own three motorcycles (given the economic uncertainty), which three? For me, the vRod for sure. For time on the road with the wife, the Kawasaki Nomad for sure. That only leaves me one "open to buy" as they say... (don't mention this to my wife) Should it be the 8 Ball King Pin? Or maybe the Buell XB12sg? Or the BMW K1300S? Which bike is on your short list? This should be a great year for the test ride. Let summer begin! -ski

Zen Mountain Climbing

First there is a mountain, Then there is no mountain, Then there is. —Zen proverb Or, as Geoffrey Moore suggests, "First there is a market..." I consider his definition of marketing most enlightening. Consider the fourth component, with potential customers:

"who reference each other when making a buying decision"

Which he goes on to say, "is absolutely key to successful high-tech marketing." I wish I had a nickel for every time I overlooked this simple component in my efforts. It would add up nicely... much more so than the results achieved without it! Jeff 'SKI' Kinsey (c)Copyright 2009, Jeff 'SKI' Kinsey. All rights reserved.
