Auto Trim Design Decals ...BMW First 2010 product of the month...

2009 Picks:

With camping season coming up there will be a need for a good light weight chair. Most people like the Kermit Chair which is a very good, motorcycle friendly product. But I find it quite pricey. Here is a good alternative at about 1/4 the price. http://www.autotrimdesign.net/category_9560.html

 http://www.Bluemaxinc.com  Good luck, see you on by the tent soon.

Roy's selection for product of the month. I have one and it has been a very durable bag that I have abused over the years.
Go to  http://www.josupac.com.

  This is my June Product of the month. http://www.fullthrottlecamping.com/product.php?id=71 
This will be the chair I purchase, when the one I have now, dies. Priced simulate to the Kermit chair in price if you include the extenders and drink holder with the Kermit.

For all of the club riders not so much into high tech / high prices, here's a site that will get you out of a pickle.

Seat Beads   https://www.beadrider.com/shop/   This seemed to be the hot item at this year's rallies.

Garmin GPS - I've noticed many members starting to use the ZUMO 550 / 660 Garmin GPS. I'm sure you have many questions or want to see about some farkles for the unit. Well make up a good log-in name, go to this site http://www.zumoforums.com  have a ball.

My www pick for the month is.. http://www.bmw-motorcycle-magazine.com  An independent magazine, made in Germany for the BMW Enthusiasts. You receive 2 magazines per year with stories from and about everyone who is anybody in the BMW cycle world. An example of the types of articles you will find is like the one in their first edition, 2007, comparing RT's a first series BMW R-100-RT versus the latest R-1200-RT to illustrate how far the RT has come. Check out the web site and if you like it, get the magazine.

My pick of the month is a little different than past one's and could make for a nice gift for the person that is hard to buy for or if you just cannot part with old t-shirts but need the room. Go to this site and enjoy.
