Resurrection Cycle in Euclid recently celebrated its third year in business. The shop continues to garner local and national attention. The motorcycle hub is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ron Vance, owner of Resurrection Cycle with his wife, Kim, remarks that the shop offers the full compliment of services, including repairs, restoration, maintenance, customizing, heated winter storage and more. Vance reveals that several motorcycles outfitted by the business have earned top prizes in area competitions. In addition, the March issue of the national publication Easyriders will feature an article about the shop.

Vance says he is pleased with the article, though he is even more proud of all that his shop represents. "We like the mom and pop atmosphere," Vance notes. "Not only do we know all of our customers by name," he continues, "we even know the last time they had an oil change."

Vance adds that Resurrection Cycle has been involved with the "Louie Run" since the business opened. Over the last several years the shop has been a starting point for the ride, which takes place the first Sunday in May and culminates at the Lake County Fairgrounds. The purpose of the long-running event is to promote motorcycle awareness among drivers of cars and trucks.

The Vances waited to open the shop until all of their children had left home. Vance brags that he and his wife are now grandparents.

I’m not usually a fan of Yamaha. But this year Yamaha out did themselves with their lineup of new bikes.. The new 2012’s are really something to pay attention to.

My favorite…The Royal Star Venture S. Its pure luxury & bliss that offers performance, and style at an affordable price, a 5 year, unlimited mileage warranty, and 24 hour roadside assistance program. OUTSTANDING !

An ideal touring bike, the Royal Star Venture comes fully loaded. Taking into consideration various speeds, road conditions, & weight you can expect anywhere from 39  to 51 mpg. A hardy liquid-cooled  16 valve V-4, 5^th gear overdrive to reduce rpm’s at highway speeds will take you places you never dreamed of. On the lighter side an iPod Touch, 40 channel CB radio, AM/FM,  and intercom system, 12 DC  outlets gives you total control and easy access to entertain your fantasies as you wind on down the road.

This one is a “looker” , from the passenger backrest to the chrome accents, to the heel-toe retro design shifter. Air adjustable forks, links, and suspension allow for easy load & road conditions & stability. Even the headlight is adjustable to compensate for varying load compensation.

So whats in your wallet ?!? The MSRP for this puppy is only $20,190.00.

This years International Motorcycle Show has been spectacular. So if you have one coming your way be sure to attend. The new models and the custom build off's are amazing. The new electric bikes have been introduced and show great promise in todays economy. I also like the re-introduced concept of mopeds and scooters.

Be sure to check back soon. I have some great article ideas in mind for March. And don't forget to check out https://harboursidebike.com fo my personal restoration projects and more of my favorite low cost customizing selections.

Until next time...here's to you and have a safe ride no matter where you go.

Currently I am working on yet another site. You can view the rough draft edition at wix.com/harboursidecycle/harbourside

Lots of video stuff and a gallery that is slowly taking shape. Let me know what you think.
