Recall Check

If you’d like us to check your Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycle for outstanding recalls, safety campaigns and product programs, please submit you VIN using the form below. We’ll get right back to you.

Custom Seats by Vern

If you can’t find a pattern, skin or color you like from Harley-Davidson, or if your bike is not covered by the Custom Seat Program, give Vern Ecker in our sales department a call (708) 788-1300. Vern has over 25 years experience modifying and customizing both cars and motorcycles with an emphasis on interior style.

Vern will take the time to go over what you’re looking for in a seat for your bike. Maybe you want to be positioned a little bit further forward, or want more lumbar support, or want the seat a little narrower. Vern can do it. Vern can also cover your seat in a variety of leathers and skins, in styles and colors too numerous to list. There’s no need to ride around on a plain, uncomfortable stock seat. If you have something in mind for your seat, Vern can do it.

In the event of severe weather, golf will be canceled or rescheduled but the BBQ lunch will not.

Ice Racing

Scroll down for the pictures

I was going to try and sum up what’s fun about ice racing (or more commonly, ice riding), but that’s already been done wonderfully by Tammy (aka BlndeBmbr) at the dieseljo.com website:

The first requirement for ice riding is the desire to have fun. Egos are not necessary nor are they tolerated. The objective is to get everyone home in one piece after a great day of fun. Ice riding is an event to be enjoyed by all people of all ages. A simple reminder that everyone is astride two chainsaws brings most people into line. Any ego-maniac wishing to attend should think twice as he/she may be asked to leave.
