Utah State OHV map disks

Chad here: Last Sunday we aired a story about a new disk that Utah State Parks has prepared highlighting hundreds of miles of ATV and OHV trails around the state. You can print out maps, or download the way points onto your own GPS. Since we aired the story we have had hundreds of requests for copies of the disk, which At Your Leisure is distributing to our viewers free of charge. Any of you out there who will be receiving them in the next day or two, we would appreciate your comments about the maps, information and how the disks work overall.

Happy riding, Chad.

New Victory Motorcycle worth seeing

Tomorrow, Monday April 30th, the new Victory Vision will be unvieled at Tri City Performance in Centerville. It starts at 2:00 and I hope to be there right when the door opens!!!! This bike replaces the Classic Victory cruiser with windscreen and hard case saddle bags as the ultimate long haul bike.

From the pictures I have seen the Vision takes the best of the V Twin feel, torqure and ride and couples it with the creature comforts of the civilized road bikes (ala Gold Wing). But the one thing that is still "all american" is that the V-Twin is still visible to the passing eye. There is no doubt what rumbles at the heart of this bike. I looks like the saddle is low, like they have done with the King Pin, Hammer etc. But the streamlined full faring looks like there is plenty of "on board" so important for those long road trips. Back passenger gets a good view from a higher seat and there is plenty of luggage space that looks integrated instead of after thoughted. ( I don't think that is a real word, but if fit)

I am going to try to talk our product reviewer into coming out tomorrow after his real job to eye this one up. If you are a bike enthusiast, why not join us then give this blog your thoughts.

Thanks Chad.
