Sales Manager Ralph Mastroianni

Ralph’s CornerHey Folks,

It’s that time of year again and Illinois Harley is in the spirit of giving. We’ve got an Over and Under Special going on for every in-stock used bike until the end of December. You pay $1000 under the tag price of any used bike in stock, and we’ll give you $1000 over Black Book trade-in value for your trade-in. So, if you’re tradin’ your bike in, it’s $2000 in total savings! This is truly the sale of the year, and you don’t want to miss it. Come out to Illinois Harley and get that special something for that special someone. On behalf of myself and everyone at Illinois Harley, we wish all of you and your family a most joyous and safe holiday.

Anthony ‘Ragu’ Fragale

Ragu’s Pick of the WeekMy pick this week is the all new 2010 Dyna Wide Glide® (FXDWG) with flames. This bike looks so hard core it’s scary to sit on! Clean outlaw styling, from the 21″ front tire to the simple rear grab handle, 180 rear tire, and black accents make this bike one of the baddest Harley-Davidson motorcycles ever produced. Its looks aren’t the only strong points though: it rides and handles unlike any other factory custom because of a frame redesign in 2006. Priced from $15,194 MSRP* with flames, the 2010 Dyna Wide Glide® is a great way to get a new custom bike for the cost of a pre-owned one.

Kenn Hartmann

Kenn’s Bike-ographySo there I was on the inaugural run for my Road Glide®, blasting to Milwaukee to pay homage to Harley-Davidson at the H-D Museum on Canal Street. I hit cruise control & kicked back, my feet up on the handlebars, fingers clasped behind my head, stretched out like being on a chrome steel sofa sliding down the highway. The cold rain started in Kenosha & by Racine it was snowing. I had second & third thoughts, but I had already committed to the ride. Milwaukee was overcast but clear. The museum is brilliant & awe inspiring. At the gift shop, Julie helped me try on a bad-ass retro leather I’d been searching for for years. My only let down was not running into Willie G. Next time, I’m strapping my fishing rod across the handlebars & casting for salmon in the Menominee River that borders Harley’s hallowed grounds.

Kenn Hartmann

Kenn’s Pick of the WeekI’m going with the two 2010 FLHX Street Glide® motorcycles that have been customized by our Service Department. Both are fine examples of the possibilities that exist for your own unique, personalized look. One has the color-matched Brilliant Silver Pearl inner fairing with padded dash. The other has chromed out rims & forks. The wheels were introduced this year on the Electra Glider® Ultra Limited & just look freaking great on the Vivid Black Street Glide® in our showroom.

Vern Ecker

Vern’s Pick of the WeekMy pick of the week is a 2010 Iron 883™. Let go of the idea that a motorcycle has to be all chromed out. Let go of the idea that a bike has to be expensive to be cool. The Iron 883™ is a bare bones bike, has more blacked-out components than any other Harley-Davidson motorcycle and starting at $7999 MSRP* in basic black, it’s ready to go.
